Budget Build Primmy Moist Weather Motard

[ringo]

Picked up this Primmy frame on the cheap, some research has revealed it a Terra Moto, differs from BBR reps with the swinger on the outside.

 

[ringo]

Plans are to build it up with rain tyres and save the peaky little KTM for dry tracks only!

Got some GPX forks off a mate cheap and Daytona 2 valve 150!!

Geebus that Daytona donks a tight fit.... :faint:

Another weapon on the way

Have you checked that the clutch arm has the clearance it needs? I seem to remember guys having difficulty with fitting a non crank mounted clutch engine in these.. it will be a nice little bike when your done mate

Clutch look's like it will clear in the 5th picture above.

Look's like it'll be another good build thread!
I reckon it might make a few other consider doing the same sort of project too.

 

[ringo]

Yeah plenty of clearance!!

I'm going to need quite a few bits, the plan is to have it ready for next season, so I've got some time. The GPX forks are too long and even if I cut the springs and shim them they are still going to be too long. On the lookout for some 600mm or shorter forks now, I may even get some KTM 65sx legs and shorten them!!!

 

[ringo]

I see Braaap have 540mm off the 50cc that will fit.

give me a day or 2 may have some forks that will fit

 

[ringo]

Sounds good Scott, what did they come off?

 

[ringo]

Strapped down the front to about 660mm fork length, still too much rake!! Need some 600's lowered I think!!

Anyone got some fast ace 600mm or smaller?

 

[xLOCOx]

i think dom from motorbikecity here in vic has a set of forks with tin coated stanchions

 

[ringo]

Got some 660 legs from Thumpstar in Perth! Also had crf50 plastics turn up today, a seat and some stickers!!

Stuck the stock KTM 65sx brakes on with the 220mm disc because the bleed nipple is so close to the rim with the 240mm, just to check the fit! Will need to make up a relocating bracket, but considering I won't need the same sort of stopping power in the wet, these might be the go!!

 

[ringo]

It's good finding spare parts around the shed to help with the build at zero cost!!!!

 

[my67xr]

How much room is there between the disc and the stanchion?
Could you space the disc off the hub with some 3mm or 4mm thick machine washer's to give the bleed nipple more clearance ?

 

[ringo]

Nah with a big fat Motard tyre to come the rim has to be dead centre or the tyre will rub on the fork legs!!!!!

 

[my67xr]

Rim wont be moving though, just the disc out toward's the fork if there's room.
