2003 Honda XR50. Has a Lifan 138cc motor with clutch. BBR tall seat. BBR stiff springs with longer fork legs. Rear I-shock. Exhaust. Fast 50s tall handlebars and throttle. Runs great.

Thats a little steep in my opinion i got a brand new 138 motor of ebay for like 250 bucks its a pretty decent motor no honda but hasnt given me any problems i run it in a 3 wheeler.

i like the lifan motor's... i've been running a 110cc lifan in my stunt fiddy for little over a year. never change the oil or anything and i beat the hell outta it. Always runs perfect

i have a lifan 120 with the monster head (big valve head) and i love it. i removed the butterfly choke for more flow to the motor and it still starts first kick every time. as for parts there are a few places online you can get parts as well as big bore kits, i belive theres like a 140 or 150 kit for the 138 motor. also if im corect the 138 motor is a honda style lowend with a klx style topend.
