Nooo you cant go 108 in that awesome little chassis , you will regret it i reckon .
I would only run a 108+ in zochie and atleast plus 4 swingarm setup .

Would be a sick little bike as is .

Either way its a sweet build good work

 

[Gerro]

has it seen dirt yet? hahah you doing anything with the wheels?

Yeah bud I have been out the last few weekend the weather has been perfect for riding but its still a bit boggy out there..

I have got a red anodised Fast50s front hub that is sitting there waiting to get thrown on a wheel but I need to get around to buying the hoop and HD spokes. I am looking at a black rim in 10" or 12", I have looked at SMpro, excel and Fast50s and not sure which way I will go. The SMpro is going to be close to $200 with spokes and Fast50s is $187 for the 12" from Classic Honda 50s. I am going to eventually get a Fast50s billet rim for the rear.

Thanks mate

I was looking at not doing the 108 and getting a billetware frame and swingarm but I was getting mucked around by Billetware. I found a TBR extended swingarm for a good price so I decided I would go back to the original plan. The new swingarm has made a huge difference in handling and putting the power to the ground.

Hey man im pretty sure i got a brand new front 12" black rim and 12" hd spokes if your interested

Cant think of the name of the brand of it at the moment but i know its what bbr use to use for there HD rims .

Would do it alot cheaper then those prices you put up .

 

[Gerro]

PM me a few photos and a price and I will let you know if I'm keen. Are they chinese?

 

[wogtaz ryder]

No worries , nar just looked its a FABA rim made by sanremo in italy , which is who bbr used for all there rims .. will put pics up soonish .

Closer inspection it looks like the rim has been mounted up and has a couple small gauges from tyre levers , but other then that its in sweet condition .

Got a few new parts today.. Looks like I have a bit of time to spend in the garage before the weekend.

[Gerro]

Yeah mate taking it out this weekend if I can get it together in time.. Haha

 

[Gerro]

Got the motor all bolted back up on saturday morning and took it out for a ride.. The bike started first kick and hasn't missed a beat, it is definately a handful but it is great fun to ride. Love having the extra gear and power to spare.. I've gotta get the jetting dialled in cos its got a low end bog atm.

Few pics
