crf50 upgrade to klx110

[tommyh]

Hey guys I am currently looking at upgrading my pitpro 125rr to a klx frame.

The components I have bought already include:
295mm DNM rear shock
pro taper SE
pro Taper grips
KMC 104 link chain

everything else is stock for 125cc pitpro rr

What other components are required in making this upgrade?
and where is the best value place to buy the parts such as the frame, etc ?

Cheers guys

fuel tank, plastics, frame, most likely head stem bearings and bearing racers, seat, ummmmm i cant think what else

Cheers mate, I've been looking at frames on online stores and have seen that the frame prices vary from $90-$6,500, what is recommended and from where?

cheers

sounds like its gonna be easier to just buy a klx style complete bike..

the only things you will use off the crf50 style is the wheels and motor and maybe the swinga..

everything is different

Ive considered that option but I think Ill still upgrade my crf50 to a klx110 and at the same time replaceing all the cheap parts. thanks guys anways

should be an interesting conversion mate, make sure you start a build thread..

 

[tommyh]

Crf50 ugrade to CRF70

BUMP*

Hey guys I was waying up the costs of upgrading my crf50 style pitpro 125 to a klx frame and as you guys suggested it was cheaper to buy a new bike.
But I came across this forum just now:

Size CRF70 v CRF50 - Pit Bike Club

Is it possible then to ugrade my pitbike to a crf70 frame size instead?
Any help, advice and websites/stores that sell goood value parts for this project would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Tommy

still all the same costs mate..

crf70 is a longer bike than the 50. frame is longer as so is the swing arm.. then you got the larger forks (730mm) and also a rear shock..

still all the same costs mate..

Listen to peoples advice man, unless you got serious amounts of coin your better off NOT re-modelling your 125 and buying a brand-spanker instead!
