This is the back wheel, I was looking with tyres and tubes before, and that makes them really pricey!! But just the rim and hub is not to bad! I dont really want my rear rim shredding itself due to having a few spokes missing...and I've heard the 160s are a bit more likely to mess things up...Really at that price its very do-able. Would have to take the tyre and tube out to replace spokes anyways. I think I'll just keep the old one as a spare! Had heaps of calls about the cheapie, keep missing them, I'm not in a big hurry. Just lots of dreamers so far....It'll go eventually!

So time for me to learn about exhausts....the Foxico exhaust doesn't seem to fit :thumbdown...the bends look almost identical so...may be able to cut and shut? Or just get a new one...

the new engine has a different angle'd exhaust port, it comes out almost straight down.
the old one would have come down and towards the right
it's just a cut and shut job

Yeah thats what it looked like, the left hand side of the exhuast has big gap the right has no gap...I'd still be keen for a new one, but might wait a while on that if its an easy job! Oops I forgot photos been running round like a headless chook since 2pm...
New chain went on fine. What did I guess 120? it ended up being 117 links :thumbup: 3 links short of what I though it would be....and my old bicycle chain breaker got the pin mostly out, then a screwdriver and a hammer...although not particularly impressed with the stength of it, after breaking one side of a link by hand....It got a bit stuck in the small chain breaker and I was trying to get more room to get it out, I think I can 'edit' the chain breaker a tiny bit and it will work for both motos and bicycles...its a well built big hardened one so plenty of torque to get pins out!!
Oh well sure the moto shop in Morgan will have one if it gets broken....and with a race on sunday, I'm guessing they'll be stocked up too!! :thumbup:
So yeah bit of cut and shut should solve that one.
First time putting a new chain on, I swear it was easier than some bmx chains I've done before...and I still want a halflink freaking moto chain, would be the strongest thing ever :thumbup: I guess if they make chains to good, you'd never need a new one, thats business!

did you back the adjusters off fully before you measured ?

Yeah, Might need another link or two taken out...was rushing before the guy came for the cheapie. Wont be a problem to shorten it a bit more, I just know its easier to take links out than put them back in and didnt want to cause a problem by making it to short!

Had an early night cause working early today. So we were kind of comparing differences between the Foxico and the atomik frames. They're subtle but they are not the same frame!! Can you spot the differences between they?

you mean the bracing positioning throughout the frame being different?? that would be the only one i really noticed or am i missing something??

the rear shock mounts at the top are different between the two bikes,
stu's bike has a 320mm rear shock, mine has a 360mm
yeah different placings and lengths of the gussets etc
and stu has a KLX style port exhaust now too, i did a cut and shut on the original Foxy one
it also now has a kill switch that works !

it'd be an easy thing to relocate the Foxico top mount if you wanted to.
stoozo,
remember your dodgy looking Foxico fuel cap, i hope you didn't like it !
because i sand blasted it today and gave it a quicky respray, i did it in Ford Blueprint, a BA/BF Falcon colour

the CRF to KLX exhaust header pipe conversion was pretty easy too
i just cut the CRF flange end off next to the internal weld, and slid the CRF end off the pipe.
then made a new 8mm high flange out of some thicker tube,
i sat a new gasket and the new flange up into the exhaust recess, trimmed the original header pipe to suit the new angle and welded it on, put some alignment marks on the 2 pieces, and took it all off the engine
then welded it together, and cleaned up the welds with a die grinder tungsten carbide bit in my drill
and bolted it back onto the bike
doing it this way meant there are no cut and shut welds to be seen on the pipe, and it looks like a factory fitted pipe.

I swear that was the same colour of the falcon that I learnt how to drive in... :thumbup:
