Mine is a 2nd gen 125 also (big mistake).

Sorry to piss on the dry clutch idea.
Soon to be a wet clutch.

Thanks....

The plastics used to be red....hence the red trees.
I just thought the black/aluminum combo looked more tasteful. A black frame would be overkill. I'll eventually strip the trees to match.

It'll play hell w/the toes.

It's getting there....... My crank came back from STR and it's time for reassembly. Now there's a lot of little issues to take care of. Seems the last 10% takes 90% of the time. I started a build thread a long time ago and lost track of it so I started a 2nd one. http://www.bannedcr500riders.com/boa...

2nd gen...2001.

I would have never converted a 125, but it's all I had.

GO FOR IT YOU ONLY DIE ONCE then it dosen't hurt any more. :lol: thats the funnyst thing iv yeard in ages welcome abored iv been riding big bikes sinc i was 12 wen i was 15 i had a suzuki dr 800 just take your time and wen ur uest to it just amer that thing Yep. I was 15......went from a wore-out X...

That is cheap....bent frame???

My current project is an 01 also. Having 2 wouldn't be a bad thing.

Thanks for the link.

I talked to my contact.....he has a Yamaha race spec RD350 (the air cooled version of the TZ motor) engine available. Looks like I now need a frame.

Anyone have a 1st gen frame for cheap???

Sweet.
Post the progress.

Today's Thursday.....Did it make it back?

Yep....Honda has always been at the front of 4 stroke development. Look back many decades ago, anyone remember the 6 cylinder 125 and 250 road racers that Hailwood rode? Little pistons, tiny valves, and engines that revved to the moon. (And) who could ever forget the NR500, and NR750 (street version...

Cut it, turn it, weld it.

To me the gen 4 250F frame is the easiest to to convert, and still look OEM ( aka ..the best )

That looks really nice man.

This has been talked about before. Even though round tubing is/could be structurally strong enough, most people frown on the fact that it doesn't look factory (doesn't match the rest of the frame). I looked at many different builds before I chopped into mine. I've seen where solid square stock was u...

The dude that I got my triple from has a few RD engine basket cases (too bad Honda never made a high-potent twin smoker). I have extra cones left over from my chamber build. http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/42649/2356648330102045454S600x600Q85.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPqYvVRakT8 I'm game...

I built a whole different cradle and Y section and made the mount plates longer than what most others do. Warping? No. I had empty cases bolted in for most of the final welding. I heated the frame in an oven for less distortion. The last time I had the engine in/out, everything lined up perfectly. S...

The goal is this Put together a simple and reliable system that puts out enough power so if'n ya feel like pullin the horse out the damn barn at 2am or whatever, you can do so with confidence. I don't know bout everone else, but I really don't need a super world beater digital ignition, I don't wan...

If the unit isn't available, and they were having issues w/the "prototype", why did they even mention it. Now there's people ready to spend some big cash and it's not even in production.

I've been searching for lighting options also.

Alohar had just finished the bike and rode it for a short time.
Why was it parted out?

That looks sweet.
Hope you get the gremlins taken care of.

Maybe he did wrong, maybe he didnt i dont fucking care, he's got some major family issues at the moment, do you lot think your doing yourself any favours by putting a man down when his hit rock bottom, grow the fuck up the lot of you, show some compasion for his situation. I run/operate my own busi...

Ya know.... I just have to add something... Is this site perfect? Hell No! Wait one minute............ I first joined on at the 500 site, and got tired of the ass kissing and brown nosing realy quick. I didn't have time to get to know certain personalities, but it seems that several members there h...

Looks killer.
Keep posting pics.

Checked out your 'tube vids. Looks like a cool place to ride.
The bike sounds strong.....friends to ride with....what else could you ask for.

I put too much time into my personal builds to take them out and give 'em a good thrashing. I like to have fun and thrill the power, I'm just cautious. I had an '81 CR450 a long time ago......that thing had a throw-a-person-to-the-ground kind of hit. I loved the bike. I was its 3rd owner. It practic...
