got some more time at the bike today. spent ages fiddling around with the pipe but its just not fitting as it should, so went ahead and fitten the new rails etc and made up mounting brackets. Going to modify the exhaust afterwards. I think this could be the end of me and pro circuit, there should be...

I also have one

Im not sure if this is a standard issue on some later engines?, or an aftermarket piece, seen a couple with this now, cos ive been looking after it was pointed out

Hey Mel you need to grind the corner off the Y. Sometimes you got to put a ding in the pipe to. The PC pipe is the worst fitting pipe..... Currently where i have the engine positioned i dont have to notch the frame back at the pegs to allow that bottom clutch bolt, should i have to notch the frame,...

with the exhaust catching on the gear change side of the y piece, im thinking i may need to lower the engine a bit at the front. Currently I dont need to make clearance for the bottom clutch bolt, maybe this is where im going wrong? just thinking this as if i was to noth the frame a wee bit to allow...

Meant to update that I have found out who did the tuning work to the engine. I did a little research and the engravings are P.C.C.G.H. / Pro Circuit, and the pro circuit importer/dealer in the uk CGH imports. So essentially I am going to be running a pro circuit barrel, head and pipe

spent ages trying to get the motor actually fiteed today. when I had the engine just set in before I didnt have the cr125 collars in, (54mm & 59mm) but it just wasnt fitting what so ever. Original collars that were fitted were 46mm & 54mm. Cr125 collars, 59mm & 54mm, with the 125cc colla...

your stator cover with a bulge in it is new to me.... i never even picked up on that before. Was on it when i purchased the bike. Have bought another steel framed bike there too, needs a bit of work but will be nice to have a modernised one and a retro one. Also i think i have an addiction now, any...

well today I finally got some time away from work, university and doing dads work to get started on the build. started out the day with the bike sitting like this. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/995699fec6cab94c7ae13ee7a9258478.jpg then got to cutting out the cradles. https://bannedcr500r...

I'm already on Vicodin for a broken lower back. Beer and Vicodin and next thing you know I'd be posting naked pics of the wife.

Get this man some beer then. lol

Just to let you all know I haven't vanished off the face off the earth, I have been rather busy lately and sometimes need to prioratise things. Well finally after a long long wait, my procircuit system has arrived :D, and as far as Im aware I have all the parts necessary to get building. My father h...

what coding did you cahnge?

I copied and pasted the bit that said embed.

Can anyone help me out as to why the videos will not embed?

Just thought I'd post a few pics and vids of my riding spot here. Track is ran and maintained by my dad. First 2 videos are welll put together. The other ones are helmet cams. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y3WuBrMPER0" frameborder=&q...

mel it will be ok to start cutting the y out, you will need to do this first so the motor can be installed to determine the correct position in the frame. I took a crf250 rolling chassie flipped it upsidedown like a bicycle, cut the y out, flipped it back on its wheels, set the motor in and clocked...

If I was to cut the Y piece out and start prepping as much as possible would it be a bad idea? I mean would the frame loose its rigidity/form? or would it be safe enough?

that is one beautiful bike. If mine comes anywhere near that I'l be happy.

Tempted to copy your graphics, just looks nice and sleek.

Any good pegs recommended for the af? Ive always ran standard pegs, but I'm thinking with size 14 feet and been 6ft 2" a set of wide and lower pegs would be good?

Have saw a few sets that have snapped, and would rather not be purchasing crap that is going to do that.

Well got my 125 swingarm bearing kit and 1999 cr250 airbox complete in the post today. Plan for tomorrow is to fit the bearings and set the engine in the af chasis, to have a look at how much adjustment is required.

Chain run too loose, chews thru the rubber slider, and right thru the swingarm next. This will not happen with proper maintenance! This includes replacing the slider before it hits aluminum Polisport sliders are cheap, and seem to hold up "ok" so far, maybe a little noisier. I Have one on...

nice work, got a few of me on the steelie, but nothing worth posting. After building Il hopefully get a few race snaps and a friend is for lending me his gopro so hopefully some footage too

just now I see you mention the swingarm damage, does anyone know why this happens? im forever getting that issue on bikes throughout the years.

Rhino89523 wrote:You selling that shock?

Not at the minute. Plan is to keep the original chasis alongside the af build. Seems people here would rather buy them in steel frame rather than buying someone elses conversion. So when/if I sell I will most likely sell as a job lot with the option of steel or af chasis.

Rhino89523 wrote:What does that thing have going on for the rear shock? AHHHH the smell of a steel frame kind of gives me a chub

Its an ohlins shock. The attachment on the swingarm is a catchtank for petrol.

Looks a little bare in here without atleast some form of pictures. So here is a couple of the donar bike when i picked it up.

Off topic but, I wanna see your blasting cabinet when it's done. the original one, just has a perspex style top on it so you can see what your doing with an outlet for the blasting hose, and hands. In theory the one we build should just be a bigger version. This is dependant ofcourse on my dad fund...
