What is your budget on mate?

 

[no_crf50_here]

Well trying to build whole thing for under a grand

cost so far
1 x as good as new DHZ 140cc motorbike - $600 with 2.15" tard setup & 12/14 dirt setup
1 x alloy frame - $50 Pitboss empire
1 x A style swing arm - $25 Pitboss empire
1 x A style Fast Ace rear shock - $120 Dhz
1 x AS02 Fronts - $230 second hand off Miniriders memeber
1 x IRK with sling $75 ebay
1 x Valve springs & A7 cam $120
1 x bucket of sware words - $priceless...

total $1220

Yeh so that's it - plan is to sell off frame, swinger, forks, shock, brakes, dirtsetup, pegs etc to bring me into budget...

Plans are good - weather it works or not is another story...


Issues so far
- frame is drum rear setup, was planing on running rear brakes on this one
- Motor didn't fit the mounts, had to grind out neatly to get motor bolts to fit nice and snug.
- Didn't get cups for head stem berings when i got forks (still waiting on a reply?)
- Left rotor kit in squeebies car.
- heaps more to come no doubt.

Cool - a $1000 motard would be a pretty good job! What tires are you going for?

for now the Kenda *insert grin* tyres that came with the DHZ, might contact squeebie and get steves old tyres perhaps tohelp with keeping within budget

Fair enough! But you could sell you Toyota Ute to me for $250 and then you could get yourself a set of TT92's

Pete you'll want a 2.5" rear for the Bridgestones.
