this weekend has been so fun i started tearing apart both bikes and started to mock up gen2 frame. removed front mounts and cut out Y. cut out fron mount area for 7/8 dowel for front mount. thoese are done and just need to be welded. engine alighnment doog with spacers and will pick up some round stock for coil mount just above cyl head just to the front. Im modifying Y to accomadate stock placement for radiators. I moved up the Y about 1" and installed solid rectangle stock for the down tubes to slide up into Y. Ill keep you posted.

somebodys got some clean up to do

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » May 17th, 2008, 8:10 am

nice! a little mad max-ish on the welds... Clean 'em up and RIDE!

highdezman · Post by **highdezman** » May 17th, 2008, 11:57 am

I know they arent the best looking welds but i was there to see the first welds layed down and they looked real good than the welder filled in the low spots thats where i need to do some clean up.

highdezman · Post by **highdezman** » May 22nd, 2008, 10:55 pm

Im getting things cleaned up and the head stay is done, what do you guys recommend for gearing, im riding mainly mx tracks at int level? I was thinking of trying 14/49?

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » May 23rd, 2008, 9:21 am

14/49 sounds good, its a pretty geood all around gearing. For MX only, you could probably go a little lower like 14/51 or 14/53.

Were almost done I got the bike together complete with pics thru out the process and im just waiting for my suspension to get back, Im in the market for premix and trans oil. it's been along time since i ran a 2 stroke so any advice on brands, ratio's per 5gal and type of trans oil would be appreciated, i getting the pic's ready to post but i was wondering what size is best for viewing? I think my first were a tad too large. Thanks

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » June 3rd, 2008, 8:55 pm

most run maxima 927 @ 32:1, pretty safe. I run a motorcycle clutch safe specific 10w40 in the trans.
