How to ruin a perfectly good stock frame

[Allie]

If I remember correctly from his thread on chopcult, it's from a Honda mini-bike.

I do love the cute little Honda tank. It looks like it's from an XR75.

I think it's from some kind of 100 or 125 enduro type? A friend and I narrowed the back and cut the super deep tunnel out in favor of a very shallow tunnel. If I can get it sealed up I will use it one day!

As opposed to the World's Fastest Non-Moving Motorcycle?

Even better! I used to ride an SL-125 as a kid, pretty much the same bike.

I suppose? lol


Good job on the mock up so far. Heed the advice of people on here but ignore their sarcasm. They mean well but have the tendency to come across like jerks when they only mean to try to keep you from injury. Some of them really need to change their approach but I promise you that almost everyone is just saying stuff to keep you safe, not to be jerks.

It's definitely not my cup of tea, but it looks pretty cool so far.

Oh yes the frame still had a ways to go, but I'm taking my time building this one.

wind yer neck in and leave the bloke alone will you?

lol. Just reading this thread for the first time and I had to comment on this expression, definitely one to add to the phrase book.

you guys realize the forks arent slid all the way into the 3trees right? im sure that if he has the brains to get this far into thebuild w/o killing himself he will have the motor level or atleast remember to put an extra quart in

and as far a straight pipes go, i straight piped my 550 for about a week then i got tired of blasting around like a bowl of rice and put some cherry bombs on it and i gotta say it sounds damn nice now

Cody,
Those forks are just for mock up until I can get the extended xs650 forks adapted to fit. They are slid down to the approxiamate length of the xs forks that I have... As far as the motor angle, I've rotated it forward a few degrees in the frame and now it sits at about the same angle as my current gs that I ride daily without any oil starvation issues.

Got the cross brace and seat tube in:
