My other Pit bike

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Karma :

While my TZR pit bikes been off the road getting rebuilt, I decided to take on another little project to hoon around my woods on.

It's based as close to a CRF50 as possible. Running a 110cc Semi auto engine, With genuine Honda CRF50 stator and flywheel. Honda engine cover. I was quite proud of myself. It's the first 4t bike engine I've done a full top end rebuild on and had it running after. It runs superb!

It's fast enough for off road. There is a little MX track in my local woods. Its about 500 meters from my house. If I go out of my garden into the woods. Across a foot bridge into some more woods. The track is there.

It's situated between a Motorway, And a main road. So I wont be getting hassled there. I've spoke to a local guy who built the track 5 years ago, He takes his boys there every weekend. And he rides it himself, He's been riding there for 5 years and never been bothered by the law once.

Very nice

You should get this on the road! Always liked the look of these.

I noticed that their is a little off-road track near Blackpool Airport the other day (we have a flat nearby). I am tempted to try a bit off-roading but I am saving for a Monkey at the moment so can't afford a bike JUST for that.

May give it a shot on a Monkey though, see what that is like!

The monkey bike frames are more or less the same as the pit bike frames.
Fit some longer forks, Off road tyres, and some big bars, and it will practically be a pit bike with a different tank and no plastics.

And I plan to get the CRF on the road! Very Happy

That will be an interesting thread if you get the CRF on the road!

Should bring it down to a run if you do!

Will you be fitting lights etc? Or just running it on a daytime MOT?

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Karma :

Because I already have my TZR125 powered Road legal pit bike with lights. I will probably just run the CRF rep on a Daytime only.

So That's Horn and Speedo. Laughing

Lights are for losers Wink

Couple of updates.

Fitted some Honda CRF50 forks, and Honda CRF50 Shock.
So its sitting at the right ride height now.

Frame is still the Chinker. Once I swap it over to the CRF50 frame, Then the rake will be right, Forks will be more upright. And the front end will sit higher, where it should be.

Still got fork guards to fit, And a caliper mount to make up so I can run a disk up front rather than drum.
And got to fit some black BMX bars.

Engine is still going super strong! It's such a tight, Punchy engine. Well chuffed. It starts first kick every time.

Fab'd up a Caliper mount to run a disk up front rather than the CRF50 drum.
Still only a prototype. need to cut a proper one out as its a bit thin around the bolt mountings.

How long till it's finished?

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Karma :

Not too sure.
My "new" frame arrived today. It's a proper CRF50 frame, So its dinky. Much shorter than the frame I've currently got.

Unfortunately its a bit old so it needs a re-paint. It's sat at work at the moment. I spent a few hours sanding it down today. Will give it a coat of paint tomorrow.
It's getting painted silver.

Tomorrow night I'll be cutting out a new caliper bracket, Alot neater and slightly bigger around the edges so theres more metal around the bolt holes.

Other than that, Waiting on some odyssey civilian BMX bars and new risers. Got to rig up the rear hand brake and remove the foot pedal.

Then technically its finished.

Long term I want to remove the gold from the rims, and have them chrome instead (Stock CRF50 style).
Drop a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket. My sprocket and wheel ratio is designed for a 50cc Honda engine. I am running a 110cc engine, So its constantly spinning up, and topping out at less than 30mph. Laughing

New frame fitted! Smile

Also fitted BMX bars, And I'm waiting on a new Top Yoke/Clamp designed for Adults. It will run my BMX bars perfectly too.
Frame is being reinforced next week and I'm looking at Scooter rear brake cables so I can run the rear drum brake from a clutch lever on the left of the bars.

Front caliper is mounted up properly, Bled and functions superbly. Cool

Get some Gold Bars, the previous ones colour looked better, but i imagine the BMX Bars are easier for riding.

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Karma :

I'm trying to shake off all the gold bits. I'm spraying the caliper black to try and make the gold wheels look better.

The gold makes it look proper Chinkey. Laughing

BMX bars are top for riding.
Once I get the Red Barron Billet Top Clamp Kit and rear hand brake kit. It will infact be like riding a fast BMX. Very Happy

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Karma :

Got my Red Baron Billet top clamp today, Fitted it up. MUCH better! Razz

I've also ordered a Rectifier so I can power a brake light and a Horn.
Looking into getting a Monkey bike VIN and V5 so I can get this thing on the road! Very Happy

Bits to come:

BBR Motorsport Bar Pad
Rear brake cable for hand brake
Rectifier
Fork Guards

And its game on!

Looking really good pal,

Love that Billet clamp, little touches like that really finish a bike off!

I agree about the gold. Always reminds me of American cars.

Be smashing if you get it on the road!

I feel like a stalker being the only one posting on here frequently Shifty

Day off?

Lovely shots! Makes me want to try some off roading on a pit bike.

I am beginning to hate you more and more everyday Binge Laughing

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Karma :

Yea got the day off work today. So Decided to go for a little spin through the woods! Cool

It rides really nice now. Just need to sort the shock out as the arse is a big saggy.

Throttle · Crazy Courier Joined: 02 Jul 2009 Karma :

It must be awesome to have that woods at the back of your house!

Is the rear shock the last big step? Or are you waiting on more parts?

How many pit bikes do you own now then?

I shouldn't have seen sexual connotation's in saggy arse but I did.

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Karma :

Heavy Duty rear shock will sort out the handling. Probably the next big step for the time being.

I should get my bits today or tomorrow. I've got a Moped rear brake cable on its way, So I can run the rear drum brake from the lever on the bars. (Its semi auto so no clutch).

Got a BBR Motorsport bar pad on its way.

Eventually I want chrome or black wheels, But thats not important at the moment.

I've just bought some new tyres. Slightly more aggressive tread as the tyres I have currently dont grip at all when its wet.

I've also just bought a new side stand as mines just a cut down Chinese one.

I've also got a reg-Rec in the post so I can run a Horn and Brake light. Cool
