supermoto build?
 

hey guys ive been really into supermotos lately and am thinking of getting a crf450 to stunt with.
is making a supermoto as easy as putting street tires on a dirtbike or is there more to it than that? and if so what is it?

Re: supermoto build?
 

Lights, guages, brakes, suspension, tires...

Re: supermoto build?
 

i understand lights, guages, and tires but when you say suspension and brakes do you just mean stiffer suspension and bigger/better brakes?

Bam! done deal... [URL]http://www.motostrano.com/sucokistle.html[/URL]

Re: supermoto build?
 

oh shit thanks man good looking out

Re: supermoto build?
 

Check out this one too, some stuff is cheaper [URL]http://epicmotosports.com/supermoto.aspx[/URL]

Re: supermoto build?
 

you are on point with the supermoto stuff
now which one whould you recomend?

Re: supermoto build?
 

I havent ordered from either yet, but I will be soon. I noticed that epic has WAY cheaper shipping. I plan on getting the big stuff from epic and the stuff I cant get from them I'll get from motostrano. Motostrano def has a bigger selection though. But I think their may be more sites for CRFs like crfsonly.com I am going to be building a kxf250, if my trade goes through.

Re: supermoto build?
 

well good luck with the trade
but to be honest i'm not really sure what i want i said honda just cause i've had honda bikes before and feel comfortable with them but if i find a really good price on something else i'll jump on it

Re: supermoto build?
 

bah dont need lights... maybe a acerbis headlight...

Fuck signals & gauges. Get a motocrosser and throw some rims/tires on it :cheers

Re: supermoto build?
 

50stunt.com has stuff on his site now for supermoto

Re: supermoto build?
 

Ya check your states laws about bike requirements to make em street legal. My current state (alabama) just requires night time lights and I think a mirror.

Re: supermoto build?
 

dont go with motostrano they take forever to ship out wheels and they forgot my spacers...

Re: supermoto build?
 

Ya I figured epic would be better, especially since motostrano's shipping is waaaaay too high

ya they have alot of shit but took FOREVER to get me stuff:2cents

Re: supermoto build?
 

See ryan moor for the crf parts. his 50stunt website has all the shit for the Honda CRF range

Re: supermoto build?
 

Anyone have any opinions on what rims to buy? I dont have a lot of dough so I was thinking either DNA or warp 9

Re: supermoto build?
 

If you build a kxf250 you will need the a big sprocket and a lighting coil with a cooling fan hooked up to it. A flywheel weight is nice and you will want passenger pegs even if it means building a subframe. I have a a supermoto stunt bike built out of an rmz250 05. Im about to build a 450

Re: supermoto build?
 

And I have warp 9s on mine its the way to go cause you dont cry as much the first time you scratch the shit out of them trying to do circle wheelies. but they come with a nice rotor and the caliper bracket

its gonna be a pain in the ass for me to make it street legal cause i live in cali :banghead. but ive seen it done so i know its possible

Re: supermoto build?
 

What do you mean scratch the rim??? [quote=MotaredStunts;4181608]And I have warp 9s on mine its the way to go cause you dont cry as much the first time you scratch the shit out of them trying to do circle wheelies. but they come with a nice rotor and the caliper bracket[/quote]

Re: supermoto build?
 

Its not as bad when you scratch a warp 9 vs. anyother high dollar rim

Re: supermoto build?
 

I have heard of people buying the frame of a xr650 or something off ebay and using that title to get it tagged in all that but I dont know about cali

dang you must have crashed it pretty good. supermotos are tough
you got any pics/vids of you riding

Re: supermoto build?
 

drew you selling your bike? whats up with that?

Re: supermoto build?
 

Ya the only thing it hurt was the sliders. And ya I dont have any videos on the net. but ill put some up later. I dont have a hand brake on my bike cause i have figured out how to put one on the rmz without paying a shit load to have someone make a dual caliper set up.

Yeah I'm getting spoiled on fuel injection, it's so smooth! I got a feeling once I finish getting my WR250X all tricked out, I'm probably gonna sell the CRF250X and buy another fuel injected supermoto. Only other fuel injected motards I know of are the[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] Husqvarna SM 450R (6 speed) [2008~2009] and the Aprilia SXV 4.5 / 5.5[/SIZE][/FONT] (5 speed)
I wish the Aprilia had a 6 speed wide ratio tranny, then you could probably do well over 110mph, supposedly that's the top speed. I really would like to have a 230lbs 150mph fuel injected supermoto. the SXV 5.5 could do it if they spaced out the tranny correctly and added a 6th gear, it has enough power to pull to that speed.
yeah, we'll have to ride sometime, they need an aprilia freestyle challenge, where you get like 3 minutes to throw in as many sick tricks as you can on the aprilia, that would be cool I think.
