You're going to run into the same problem I had trying to fit my '88 engine into an '05CRF250R frame--the carburetor won't clear the shock spring due to the reed cage casting on the cylinder being 7mm longer on the pre '89 cylinders. You may want to consider selling/swapping your '87 engine for an '...

Honestly, I don't know if I need to go ahead and try to run it, knowing the tank isn't pressurized. It will hold water indefinitely, but I know it's going to be bounced around on this bike, and I don't want to be the dude at the track that set's his homemade bike on fire in the middle of a race. I'v...

Maddog--One of the hoons here had given me a set of bushings that work. Gregrobo--The bike had been changed over to the '06 dual exhaust setup, and yes, it was the first thing that sold. This project has been on the shelf more than it should. I've got my tank looking good, but the plastic welds won'...

Welding a plastic tank update - w/ pics
I started a new thread on this in case there was any interest in duplicating it or doing it with a real hot air plastic welding rig. My attempted solution for the gas tank mod on a '05 CR250R conversion has been to cut the bottom of the tank off and weld a new plastic bottom on. I bought a piece of ...

Gas tank welding
Here's some pics I promised. This is the first time I've welded plastic. I used a propane torch, which is not the optimal tool, but it can be done. My welds aren't as pretty as I would like, but the tank holds water. I will pressure test it before filling it with fuel. To be brief, I tried and faile...

What kind of plastic are fuel tanks made of?
1. What kind of plastic are newer Honda tanks made of? 2. Where can I find some of it? My attempt at modding my Gen4 tank with a heat gun didn't go so well. I tore a hole in the plastic next to the fuel spigot. I don't think I was going to like the results even if I hadn't had problems, because it l...

Slow Rider on a Fast Bike
http://youtu.be/ZARlEcbICXk Spun a few laps in the heat yesterday. My son has trouble figuring out where to stand and get good shots--we've got too many trees on the private track. But the bike sounds good coming up the hill in the first second of the video, and also in the last second when I hit t...

UPDATE: Got the EBC Dirt Racer kit in today, soaked the cork fiber plates for 2 hours, then installed it all. WOW--what a difference! I had no idea how much performance I had been losing with the old plates--even at low rpms. Bike is faster than I realized :D . I will have to get used to how hard it...

I just ordered an EBC drc complete kit for this bike. I didn't find a Tusk kit anywhere for the older style clutch. Could only find EBC, Barnett, and a couple of brands I didn't recognize. As said before, will plan on putting the Barnett carbon fiber in the AF because I expect it to be raced hard an...

Most every clutch lever I've ever wiggled when checkin' out bikes had near zero freeplay. Zero freeplay kills clutches Hadn't thought of that Bob, and yes, I'm guilty. And thanks everyone for the input. I may put a Tusk kit in this bike, and spend the money on the carbon fiber kit on the AF convers...

If you can, upgrade to a modern basket- 85 clutch sucks. That stupid little BB in there doesn't work worth a damn. Probably not gonna happen on this bike--at least for a while. I'm putting the good money in parts for the af conversion. This bike is just the play-bike, test mule. I might even sell i...
