i don't know what you see in that thing it looks like a bicycle swingarm...honda swingarms are for dirt bike riding and when properly finished are wayyy blingier then that swingarm...just my oppinion...your bike will be some sort of crazy mixbreed... :lol: ...i'm just fuckin around...but it's mad ug...

stock swingarm is better...it'll look too mismatched...plus honda swingarms are easily the cheapest route and there is nothing wrong with them...i don't get the one sided arms and why people have boners for them...i think wheelie gene's build is awesome, but i wouldn't do it unless i had the part ly...

Is the Showa any better for any serious reason?

Hey Robertg what is the difference between the gen3 125 shock and the 250 shock? I just got a real sweet deal on a brand new 125 shock and i figured i would buy it because of how good of a deal it was, and i don't mind having spare shocks...Is there any problem with how the 125 shock mounts up compa...

oh ya...but the skidplates is still an ongoing thing?

my rads had both the mount areas broke off, i got the threaded clips from autobody stuff, .80 cents each. and reinforced the outer edge of the rads with 1/8" 6061 that sits in the recess of the rad so its no wider. I've straightened them from bannanas, so if they get wrecked i'll buy more or t...

no no it's all for the better...congrats on the future bike...

So you had to modify the mounts for the 125 rads? Or did they just bolt up but because it's a 125 it has that different shroud mount location? I'm just confused... :roll: The rads bolt to the frame no problem. they just sit about 1/4" higher on the 250 frame. That's why the bottom shroud mount...

no worries homie...

chasing rabbits is so much damn fun, but they bounce around so quick i can see crashing trying to manoeveur as fast as they do. Glad to hear of no permanent damage...

looks awesome bro...Any pics of your skidplate? have you finished them up yet?

i have always used the stock 250R 2 stroke rads in my CR250R builds...... just relocate a spigot on the right side and tweak the center ports at the bottom with a socket and an extension Exactly...such an easy mod it took me two seconds to bend those spigots inwards away from the cylinder...and tha...

I always take mine into the us to ride or climb, and everytime, with a greencard for the bike they still ask if it was originally bought in Canada or not. Those few words on the stickers have got me thru quick Damn...I hate the rules and regulations on shit like that! Is it easy enough to obtain a ...
