My MSO 140S Project..

[TyD]

I will be upgrading and replacing parts as I go, just thought I would Have 1 thread for it all..

When I picked up the bike it looked like this..

After getting it home, I had to add my own style to it. It now looks like this..

Tonight I ordered some tyres and rims!!!!!

heard they are alright on another forum in the UK..

 

[skruba]

did u cut front guard??

 

[TyD]

yeah, i did, going to cut the rear as well..

 

[Stubsy]

nice bike mate. i have one too. really love it. mso are a good bike. shame they shut

 

[bournie]

Haha that'll look awsome

 

[TyD]

thanks guys,

I will be pushing the front forks down more, they have about 2 inches of tube hanging over the triple tree plates (dunno what they are called).

So with the 12 going on the front instead of the 14 it SHOULD be the same hight.. hopefully..

Also got some numbers and stickers that I have recently put on.. no pics of it as yet.

 

[no_crf50_here]

Higher front end = Better higher speed control
Lower front end = Better/faster turn in
you have to get the balance right

The thing that holds the forks is called the "Tripple Trees"

 

[TyD]

thanks for that, I just thought, it seems to be sitting low now so i need to raise it up because of the smaller wheel going on the front..

yeah, triple trees, I thought it was something like that haha

 

[dafunk]

i really wanna check em out .
what brand are they?

 

[TyD]

CST

heard on a UK forum that a couple of their front runners use them? so will just have to see if they are any good..

I paid 90 bucks for express post for them rims and tyres so im going to be pissed if they dont come in time, it will be a mad rush to get it done, I have work until 4 on friday, so I will be coming home and packing the ute up to go out there...

ok, went to mount the front wheel and... Spacer is too long on one side and the original bolts won't fit..

then I go to line up the back and.. spacers fit good, but the bolts won't fit, and the tyre is rubbing on the swinga.. up top where the plate is to mount the shock.. ffs!!! i hate this!!!!!
