keep the pics coming..

thanks man.. it will soon becoming to a bit of a hault as everything gets left to cure and i hunt down some needed bits.. but hey, glad your enjoying it

thinking the wheels should be matt black rather than a gloss.. and the hubs possibly the same but with yellow and blue polkadots... maybe with sparkles.. and lil led lights on the valve caps.. and a honka horn on the handlebars that plays hucc-ucac-racha.....

gloss black on the hubs in the future guys...

whats some peoples thoughts on exhaust routes? and maybe repadding the seat to something more.. not brick shaped..

I run my exhaust under the engine and beside the swinger but if you go that route make sure you have a bend at the muffler end to lift it. Muffler hitting the dirt aint fun lol.
Ducar engine should be a 6V
Ashamed? why? would you rather leave the bike to rust away with the origional engine not running or stick a china engine in it and be able to enjoy the bike (flarry and co take note)

probably.. nothin is really done up or how it really should be otherwise there is also a screwdriver in the seat and no handlebars or front wheel! Argh! (no brake pads in them rims..as its all just sitting together so it can be pulled apart agan and have the bearings etc done. but ta

spew on the fork legs.. been looking at the crf ones and am wondering what the difference is.. the J seems to be within a bees noodle at 165mm on the top and at the base of the tripple while the stem length is about 175mm give or take..(correct me if im wrong please!) Wondering what others are.. ie crf/xr..
maybe a fork swap is in order.. then comes finding soemthing to fit price wise.. lol.. the list gets longer..nooooooo

Im fairly confident that CRF forklegs will fit as they are basically the same fork design. Try 5-0 racing they should be able to give you some pointers

if it was my bike id keep it as close to original as i could but cheaply. lol

[foolsp33d]

hey its original... but everyone goes original.. lets think ratbike has matching frame fork and swinger numbers to under the joseph costume... and the china heart...
