close please

Where are you from ?

TB is the go for the 88kit , cheap and reliable

Elkas are going cheap as there discontinued on ebay , and can get fork legs/springs from classichonda50saustralia.com

Narrow down the bike selection, first. XR50 is a hoot, but I'm about your height, and fit a 70 heaps better.

Like I said in the other near-identical thread, READ THE BUILDS. They're on here.

 

[MiniFighter]

As Terry has mentioned, the build threads here will be your best friend. See what others are doing and even learn from there mistakes.
I doubt there is a mod out there that hasn't been done here.

 

[Jammo]

yeah thank's guys,
most likely going the 70 build, better sizing for me, i will check out other builds etc.
Also from newcastle

Been looking at faster-minis,
Just tqking note of some part's seeing what you guy's/girl's think
Trail Bikes 88cc Big Bore kit, 20mm Carburetor Kit, and Race Cam Performance Kit - Trail Bikes - Pit Bike Parts
88 KIT $249
BBR E-6 Fork Kit for CRF70 - FREE SHIPPING ** these are the Forks i am looking at. $550
Expensive build, i have idea's in plan.
and everything set out in my mind,

Only thing's i am un-certain about are ;
88 kits
Forks
Rear Suspension
Swingarm

Other than that i will be fine.
My mate has a crf50 style frame, on my crf70 i will wanting to do the same kind of thing he has done.
He has an 1' longer spring which makes his bike sit like upright and flat, very nice bike to ride, i was wondering anyone's idea's on this.

Also i won't be needing lever's as i never use front brake's ( nor back) but that will save expense's and less weight ( i use gears to slow down much more fun )
Also Anyone's mates selling a second hand crf-xr70 link them to me , and ill be happy to have a look

 

[Jammo]

need help on 88 kit suggestions , forks,swingarm,rear suspension, other than that im good

 

[MiniFighter]

Best thing to do is to buy a complete bike and build on it. That way you can ride it and mod it as funds allow as well as chop and change as your riding to find what works best and what don't work.

Doing it the other way around sucks, you keep forking out money and building but no riding. It soon grows old.

 

[NEWY50N]

trustme i have been there done that buy complete bike its easier and cheap i spent like 8000 on my limited and about to spend another 1500 on my lil stocker buy them complete its way cheaper and eaiser and 550 for forks is cheap my speed forks with disc set up were lik 2000$

 

[Jammo]

im buying a stock crf70, not building completely from ground up... building off a stocka.

 

[wogtaz ryder]

still cost you a fortune ... with 70's its more go hard or go home , frame/swingarm kits (big $$$), and big bore for the engine to turn the bigger size bike ..

You could just run a +5 or so chinga swingarm for cheap , and i think its xr80 forks slip into the tubes and lengthen the front . but thats kind of a boring build isnt it

size really doesnt bother me, so i might go for a crf50 ,
but how much am i looking for :
88 kit
swingarm
rear shock
stronger forks
bar kit
no front breaks ( will drum wheels (stock) be alright)
and what are your suggestions wogytaz

 

[wogtaz ryder]

Sounds good what you said.

 

[Jammo]

Sounds good what you said.

true, you have experience with 50's i presume, what swingarm forks and shock you suggest? got everything else lined up

 

[wogtaz ryder]

keep it small , Fast50 +2.5 swingarm , speed forks/ or 32mm zochies , and elka shock from ebay while there cheap.

32mm zochies on ebay , for 850 or so i think , plus shipping .

fast50 speed forks from classichonda50sautralia , $1200 i think , and they also have the fast50 swingarms.
I would get a fast50 frame from him to while your shopping ...

[wogtaz ryder]

You clearly dont have a clue wipeass!
quality costs money .

It aint hard to clock up that much money on a minibike.
