Hey guys,
I've been floating around for a few months now, finially got decent internet so I thought Id start a build thread.
I have a 09 yz250f for mx but I was after somthing to muck around with mates and for the Ms to ride. I've got a mate with a 50 track in his back yard, and hes got a 88 kited CRF with all the trick bits and after a few sunday arvo sessions at his a was hooked.
I bought a junk geniune thumpstar 120 which was flogged. I started with a a few upgrades for that, but now have decide to build a custom bike from scratch for fun.
Main parts are:
-Thumpstar alloy frame and swing arm - zippy168
-GPX black label 660mm
-Fastace shock 58ar -270
-z160ho with 28 oko - mattyB
- Red plastics and Apline Stars graphics from mattyB
Heres a pic with the motor bolted in

Still got a couple things to:
Exhuast - half done, need to mount muffler
Rear brake setup - have made lever, will post pics but the rear brake from the 120 thumpstar is stuffed. Need to sus something
Clutch cable - bought 1 from dhz for that motor, but there isn'y enough slack to mount to my levers..
Need another rear wheel, but dunno where to source that. 12mm axel with a disc seems tricky to find
Let me know what ya think.
Cheers
