crf50 style build

[pbk]

i reckon 10 inch for sure it just makes it a true mini

12 12 looks so bad lol atleast chuck a 14 on the front if you dont want smaller wheels, two of the same size wheels looks so bad, exept two 10s ha. i recon 10 10 or 10 12 for sure!!

[mattbombers]

a 12 rear which is good quality
and 12 front thrats good quality

thanks mate
yep i love it so far!!!
the forks i bort are bigger then expected so i will be parting half a 250 in the classifidieds soon.
after i get a swingarm,forks and a tank i can mostly build it and have it looking like a half bike, but will have to wait for paypal funds to transfer befor i can move too much further...
just some clear painting to do in the meantime

 

[mattbombers]

just made an awesome discovery!!! was about to go to be, when i was thinking about the frame... and what swingarm i need.
then i thort about the alloy frame... then the crf frame then the alloy again. then grabbed the tape measure and my thorts were right!!!
the swingarm from the alloy from fits the crf50 style perfectly. fits fine with the fast ace shock too
that explains why i couldnt sleep and had to check it out at 4:30 AM!!!
all i need is a new swingarm bolt as this ones too long, will be no problem from the local bolt shop!!!
what you all think of it?? cheers

 

[FMX_22]

thats lookin realy good .u got a pic of the forks?

 

[wogtaz ryder]

I think you will find the shock angle is abit to extreme.. ie/ will need a shorter shock.

But if you can get that sorted would look awesome . there the only decent looking china swing arm i reckon.

 

[sean01]

yeah it does look like it will be too high in the rear, but once its all assembled and rolling youll get a better picture

 

[mattbombers]

yes, il have a fiddle with it but when i had a bit of pressure on it looked quite normal (except for looking completely awesome!!!)

 

[mattbombers]

OK
thanks to sean01 we have spark AND a RUNNING ENGINE
now il grab a bolt for the swinga today hopefully then update with some pics in the next few days!

 

[mattbombers]

UPDATE!!! nealy done !!!
here is a pic of the progress (taken today)

 

[atomik boy]

is it just me or is it floating???

 

[mattbombers]
