Frame difference?

[Prater999]

Hey how similar do u think a drz70 frame would b 2 a crf50 frame? just looking at it b4 made me wonder how close they really could b, but judging on the engine capcity i get the feeling that the sub frame and mounts may differ slightly

The 1st pic is the drz and the 2nd is the crf

Thanx :40__s:

umm you could tell by getting measurements of all the mountings and how farr away they all are from each other and stuff, would be good to get two next to each other and compare side by side and see what would happened if you got two of the stock bikes and swapped just the frames over...

 

[Prater999]

yer i'm thinking about gettin a billetware crf frame 2 avoid bending my drz frame since no1 makes aftermarket frames for them yet

 

[Prater999]

anyway theres my bike frame, i'll strip it down more when i get a chance

Stock already looks abit bent mate?

The swingarm/shock etc suppose to swap straight over from the two , and forks .

So the engine mounts mite even be the same to. Measure up your mounts and i could measure the crf50 style engine mounts i got for you.

Could take it to someone to change the mounts a little to make everything fit . would be worth it in the long run . make it run the drz plastics/engine and it would be awesome 1 of a kind bike.

yer i think it is, or it might just b the way drz's sit coz i was lookin at brand new ones and they look a bit bent aswell,

i'm tossin up between tryin a crf frame or just strengthening the 1 i got wat do u think?

 

[billyxxx]

nah , i can see the bend, its choppered

 

[Prater999]

she still jumps n rides good but, wat do u guys reckon, strengthen or new frame, dont really feel like spendin *** loads of money lol

 

[billyxxx]

new frame.

 

[Prater999]

how much u reckon? and from where?

 

[Moto99]

depends how much cash you got, i would go with a new one tho

 

[Prater999]

could prob scrape up 400 at the most if i'm lucky :/ but oh well the bike still runs fine n it dont affect it

 

[billyxxx]

i'd get it from the states, or just keep scouring ebay

 

[Prater999]

all i can find it an oem 1 from the states that will cost me $750, so **** that lol i might try the shepp suzuki dealer

 

[billyxxx]

look for a stock crf50 one, and mod the engine mounts if needed, can get them for $100, second hand, just get it strengthened

 

[Prater999]

yer i been thinkin about it, thanx 4 ur help guys

 

[Peter1230]

oh well ride on till she snaps!

 

[Prater999]

different 2 a crf style?

i been reading a few things off the net and a guy on here a few years ago said to cut the neck just under the tank and shove a peice of steel pipe in there, this may straighten the frame once its re welded? opinions?
