Chuckie. I have been wanting to do this for a while just havent
gotten to it. Loose the whole box on the back tube its sheet
metal and not very stiff. Also the two tubes that come forward
there of no value at all.
Here's the questions
What fuel tank you gona use trying for Suzuki theme? Older RM ?
Or just steal a early black Tecate tank, Honda R?
Radiator style. Early Tecate easy or dual rads? Its all going
to dictate how you position the triple tree and head set.
The trick lower engine setup would be to bend a single tube
with the pipe loop in it andtie it into the single drop that's
there now.
Just a couple Ideas I had. A possibility for fuel tank is also a
early yz 250 83 -87 era if you like square and 88 ish to keep
the body style.
[/quote]
Tank: I've got 2 spare LT tanks so I was gunna throw one of
those on it. May not look the greatest but hey, I've already got
it.
Radiator: Going with the first gen Tecate front end just for
that reason. There's not going to be enough room on the frame to
put side mount rads on it I believe
Neck/2 tubes: Thanks!! I didn't know if it was actual solid
plate or what. I'll replace it with some good solid plate and
remove those angled tubes
Down tube/cradle: Exactly what I was thinking. Just cut the down
tube off about 3 inches down from the back bone, then the 2
bottom tubes about 2 inches before the bottom mounts, build a
completely new cradle that would sleeve over those nubs and weld
in so it would be extra strong. That's why I need a picture of
the front of an 86 R frame because I believe it's done how I
want to do this one. Or maybe my tri-z frame is the same...
Hmmm... Anyway.
But yea, I can't find anyone local to me that is competent/I
trust enough to do the finish welding on this. I will be able to
at least tack everything in place but I don't trust my little
$150 flux core machine to weld all this together to ride on lol.
So I'll have to find someone to finish weld it all for me.
Also, Mr. Barlett, may be getting with you on a head for my 87,
and a jug for this one. Then I can have the proper cut head for
the 87 and a head for this motor as well as a jug for it.
Kyle: Thanks for using my 87 for that second picture! I be
danged if it don't actually look fit together!!! Lol

exposing to radioactive isotopes... :o

We are all just crazy enough that we may actually make this
work. And I can NOT wait to get it done S~ >:D O0
The Tecate even uses a cantilever style rear suspension that has
a really crappy rear shock too!!

Hey now, it's not very often that I try and make a serious
thread. Why would I expect it to stay perfectly on topic? Lol.

How about instead of welding a front clip on, you leave it
without a front suspension and make a segway instead?
You can ride a wheelie, right????
