That's cool! Never heard of the skuut before so I looked it up.
I now know what i'll be getting my 1yr old grandson pretty soon!

Maybe I missed it but I looked over Bob's build also. What are you using for inserts where the tubes splice together? Did you find a size to fit the id of the tubing or have to cut something?
Bob.....you can never just let something go can you?

I haven't gone as far to study what the material difference is, just tried it myself and found it won't hold up. I've also tried using some ceramic fiber used as insulation in furnaces thinking I'd found some long life packing. It is indeed long life but the problem is it doesn't deaden the sound le...

You can but it won't last more than a couple of rides before you need to repack it.

I'll vouche for that! Makes hand fitting your mounts much easier and also great for holding them in place for welding.

Looking real nice so far Mik!

Get it to where the "HONDA" on the clutch cover looks level then you can measure distance for bottom mount. Get it to where the pipe fits the frame well..... thats the important issue..... Getting the cover level will do just that. If he leaves it tilted back the rear pipe mount will be s...

This spot is probably holding the motor up slightly. You have to grind on the top weld to let the motor tilt forward more. Get it to where the "HONDA" on the clutch cover looks level then you can measure distance for bottom mount. It will also give you a little more room for the plug and t...

Never bothered with those stupid measuring things, 1/2 a quart in 5 gallons and I am good to go. X 2 I get my oil by the gallon and keep a quart bottle to measure with. fill the quart bottle to the 16oz line and dump into 5 gallons of gas. Plus when I'm done you just put the cap back on the bottle ...

Damn, I must be fuckn dead! I do agree some of the questions are bullshit
and require more than a yes or no answer.

I've got a black one from a 97 you can have if you like. I offered it to a guy in the junkyard section a while back and haven't heard from him. As for the Rekluse, until recently I was just like Bob. They're for pussies! I just put the brand new rekluse core exp in my daughters yz250 and my mind has...

X 3 on the iron man sprockets. Can't say on the bolts but I was warned by someone who's opinion I respect that the bolts were kinda cheesey
so I went oem on those.

Those are sweet but, damn, you gotta' be falling alot to warrant the price. You could buy alot of spare OE levers for the cost of one of those. That is a sweet ass looking bike though. :cool: I picked up the levers yesterday and will put them to use this weekend provided all this damn rain will mov...

Is any of you using these levers? One of the local pros showed me these on his bike. Seems like a good idea. I ordered a pair for my daughters YZ and going to give them a try. Just wondering if anyone has experience with them. http://www.sixsixone.com/Catalog_SunlineRacing.aspx?id=659f5d60-bb78-450b...

Thanks for the picture tips!!! Took me a while but think I got it. She got the pictures up sooner than I thought and they are almost cooler than seeing live. There is a orange turd laying on the ground and one of those super pooper green bikes we've been hearing about lately getting it's ass handed ...

Say What?!?! I'll try and figure that out.
BTW, love the cartoon on your sig line.

Very cool! Lemme know when u get your pics up of the 500 - I'll add em. All I do is copy the images then re-post them somewhere else and link them. Anytime I try and do anything on there other than look, it gives me some copywrite protected bs. But thanks :clink: I may be a little longer than norma...

Yes, that is her. I don't know how the hell you were able to stick that picture on here. Then again, I'm not very swift on the computer.

:cool: Wow 3 8x10's for $9.00 good deal. :wink: :lol: Those are pics of my daughter from a previous race. I wasn't out there taking photos so I'll have to just post the link to view when the lady puts them up. I was just testing to make sure I could make the link work. Besides Iggy, I thought you w...

Damn Danny, I just saw this thread. I don't want to quash your joy BUT, If you put serious time on this bike I give this love affair 12-18 months tops.

Well we entered my 500 conversion in it's first race(cross country)ever since being built. The damn thing got the holeshot and checked out. Led start to finish. I don't know if I was more proud of my son who was riding it, or the bike. :D Pretty cool having a homemade bike kicking some new 4 stroke ...

Glad to hear the dates are getting close. What is the temperature like that time of the year in that area of AZ?

Your trying to reinvent the wheel.... Its a fukin dirtbike already... Throw some cheap 15/40 motor oil in it. If it dosent work.. guess what? Its broke. :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol: this sums it up. do you need it translated into any clearer language ? I couldn't agree more! Lots of the more expensiv...

Will keep the pics coming, I am going to try to go to Cox Mountain for Sat practice, but dont think I will race. I will let you know for sure. How do you like your conversion? I love my conversion! Everyone i've let ride ride it does also. One of our camp buddy rides an 08 ktm xcf450. He said his b...

Keep the pics coming. Also, if your going to make it to Cox Mountain, let me know and i'll bring a couple of extra beers. Would love to see it in person.
