Bilcos 3rd Crf50!!

[Bilco512]

Hey all as some of you know ive had a few crf50's in the past, a couple of my mates got some out of the blue so i thought id buy my 3rd 50 in my lifetime!

went down the shop and bought a brand newy from honda world

and of course this is not how they look from the factory this is acctually post bmx bar kit!

as i have had a little bit of trouble with the all ready pro taper bar kits (breaking the mount)
i thought i would just get a Bar clamp, Longer throttle cable and Throttle Housing from Buzz Bikes and steal some old BMX bars from my old BMX and chuck them on.

confused myself with the stock on/off switch and that but eventually realised you just unplug is from the wiring.

then ran into a bit of trouble with the Throttle cable as i had to pull out the stock one from the Carby cap and try and insert the longer one, it ended up like this.

which in my eyes was a bit dodgy so i drilled the cap out a bit to make the throttle cable fit in there nicely now!

Naturally i bought some bling and essential bits so i could ride her without snapping the frame just yet

Went for a ride at my local wetland filled with BMX trails and that last time i was there to find a brilliant suprise

thats all for now, ill upload more info as it happens!

i just searched Cat5 cradle on ebay and bought one mate, they are all pretty decent and just prevent ruining your cases as the footpeg mounts are connected to only the motor.

yeah i have one coming from america for my son's 70cc build, but i should of bought another for my eldest's motovert and was just hoping you might have found a seller in aus.... just to save on shipping time

yep thats the exact one i have bought mate, i had one a few years ago and they are bulletproof, im probably going to weld mine on tomorrow instead of bolting.

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

im looking at doing the same thing

 

[my67xr]

how's those sellers,
they have the same CRF50 mount listed 6, or so times at the same price, but has 4 different prices for postage $14.67, $16,94, $21.44, and $25.73

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]
