Is it made from Polypropylene, or Polyethylene? Has anyone successfully glued one? I was modifying mine with a vacuum and a heat gun, but used too much heat gun. I should of heated a larger area.

the petcock lever broke, but it is still functional.

Thanks, but if I don't get the tank from Roostus, I'm going to buy a new petcock. They are less than I thought.

What bike? It's hard to find anything for the old ones. Here's a link from Factory Effex.

Let me know when you figure something out. I'm sure we can work out a deal.

i'll make u an extra sweet deal on this oem one Is that your friend's new OEM tank you are talking about? I just bought a Clarke oversize that came off a Service Honda. It didn't come with a petcock. It looks like a CRF250X tank to me. I wouldn't mind having an OEM R tank also. Here is the eBay lin...

I need the valve and the part that bolts to the tank. I don't think it matters if they are from an R or X. I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is the same. I would take a complete tank if it's cheap enough.

I would get the model number off your forks, and email Ohlins USA to get the part number for your axle and spacers. The model number of the fork should be stamped on it somewhere. Mine is a FG107. I emailed them a couple of times and they were very helpful.

cheers

Long (10X130) 90119-MJ0-000

Short (10X113) 90151-GW6-000

A cheaper version of the 10X130 is 95701-10130-08, 10X140 is 95701-10140-08

From what I remember, my Ohlins uses a longer axle and a different spacer. When I installed my Excel wheels, I had to machine a new spacer. I can measure my axle if you want.

What year bike are you doing? I started with an 09 airbox, but it's pretty small. I ended up getting the whole rear end from a 04-05 model and getting a CRF250X airbox. 98 CR250 is one of the air boots that will work. Engine spacers work from the 04 CR125, 54 and 59mm. I believe one of your spacers ...

Sold

Here it is.

Billet triple clamps for 04-07 style number plate, but will fit 97-07. 24mm offset, $125.00. Will take on trade, 04-05 CRF250 oversize tank, stock tank, or CR500 stock pipe.

I'm pretty sure the swing arm will bolt up the same. I'm using one from a 2004 CR125 on my 07 CRF250 frame.

I have a sidestand on mine and it moves across the floor when it's at idle. It's not that bad when I am riding it. I bought a new oem crank and had it balanced, so hopefully that will make it smoother.

I got my frame a couple of weeks ago, and it's welded up right now. The only thing that I did different than anyone else is I bent the lower cradle to make more room for the front motor mounts. I should of tilted the motor a little more. I still might make new rear engine bushings with offset holes,...

Are you going to just sell complete kits? I could use a couple motor mounts.

Do you need a silencer or exhaust pipe? There is a guy from Australia selling new OEM silencers on eBay. I don't know if he has any left, but he has been selling them for about a year now.

Is that OEM plastic? It sure looks like a very deep red.

I ended up buying Fluidyne rads. Probably the only difference is the sticker.

That's nice. Do your rads clear your Y?

I can't see a difference.

I want one of these, however I spent about 2K on my bike since Christmas. I'm not in the mood to spend more for some reason. Maybe my mood will change in a couple of days.

I read somewhere that a 125 coil is supposed to be better than a 250 coil. What do you mean by HT?
