aight i dont know if you guys read the last thread but i was telling you i got forks and swingarm for 130 bucks NEW...forks from a xr70 replica and swingarm from a pw80 replica.

i was scared when it arrived thinking it wouldnt work but overall everything is fine!

swingarm is installed and aligns perfectly...only thing i have to do is shave down the spacer on the sprocket side and extend the brake arm! 2 3/4 inch longer!

forks has to be drilled where the wheel shaft goes in just like the mr50 forks no biggie. and it has to be grinded down a little so the wheel aligns..no biggie...

and the great thing about these forks are they are STIFF and OIL FILLED! just the girth of these forks make the mr50 forks look smaller...

and finally the greatest thing is the BRAKE CABLE holder thats located on the fork tube...mr50 forks are a bitch to rig that up.

ill post more as i go along. swingarm was DONE...now time to grind down and drill the forks but i cant find my grinder anywhere!

 

where'd you get the mr50 forks?

 

Wheres your first post ? Or, where did you get this setup from? Check in the kitchen for your grinder......

 

yea i found the grinder and these are not mr50 forks.

theyre xr70 replica forks...

 

got it on the 2nd time
those longer than mr50s?

 

Yeah those look a lot like the mr50 forks, but the ends where the axl goes in gives it away. So where did you find the swingarm and how strong do you think it is?

 

Where did ya get em from????

 

Yeah where did you get the "replica" parts from? Don't tell me those companies sell replacement parts....

 

yea ill put up the info as soon as i find out if it all works...

if youre looking to do this youre going definitly need a grinder...LOL

nothing wrong with MR50 forks..i have a set myself...awesome but i wanted something bigger, stiffer and newer...

 

You can make the mr50 shocks stiffer fairly easy and cheaply, just ask fab5fiddy about that. But newer would be good. I got a couple broken threads on the mr50 stem so removing it is a serious pain.

 

yea it was thanks to scott and his ingenuity that got me to fab up some mr50 forks almost 6 months ago...

ill try these out for 6 months...it only cost me 130 to my door!

here are some pics..im done for today, kind of tired.
after an hour of grinding...here is the frame work. all i have to do is bolt and align...mount the motor, bars and plastics...oh and i need a master link for the extended swingarm.

only problem i ran into was the swingarm and the brake stopper. thats easy, just drill a hole and put a bolt through...

later! damn tired! ill post when its totally done and then ill ride it and tell you guys whats up.

i need a LONGER SHOCK!!!

 

I like the tennis ***** on the bottom of your chairs will... Haha.

Bring that beast out..My 50 will still beat it

 

Yeah I noticed that too. Did you get the parts from an Ebay seller? Let us know! Looks great!
:YEAH

 

looks like a pretty good setup.

 

yzfrone,
Whats up with keeping secret on where you got your stuff?? If your gonna tells us what a great deal it is......expect us to ask where ya got it, right? Remember, we're all in this together bro! Fess up!!!!

 

Looks good. I would like to comment on MR50 forks for anyone having trouble with the front brake. Simply use a hose clamp on the threaded part of the cable onto the fork leg. I did this on mine and it has worked 100% since day one with no re-adjusting. Quick, easy, over looked fix.

 

almost done guys...

aight so the bike is almost complete. dropped the motor, should have cleaned it before i put it in but i was lazy.

THE HARDEST thing was the rear brake...boggled by how i was going to fab a stopper...so i made the easiest one possible. take a look at the pic

overall the bike is coming along and the setup looks to be coming out good. still havent gotten a chance to ride it but itll be done by tomorrow.

all i need is a front bicycle brake cable and im straight.

take a look at the pics and tell me what you think. :YEAH

 

I want to see it with the plastics on...and then i want to order some of those forks. Too bad they dont come with the right clamps. I bet if you kept looking you could find a front end with the right clamps. Those ones must have been for a PW80 frame or something. Now that i think about it, there is a local place that sells some knock off bikes and quads...maybe i will see if i can get some forks though them. I'm impressed with your ingenuity on these parts, and glad to see somebody else trying the PW80 swingarm idea. I dont understand why yours bolted right up and mine didn't. If you could get an XR70 repro. shock from this guy, you would probably be all set as it is an inch longer. Your setup looks really straight and clean though, not ghetto at all.

 

yo thor are you adam?

yea i had a interesting ride today...the rear brake stopper was a total failure lol! take a look at the pics...back to the drawing board. anyone have ideas for a stopper?

yea otherwise the bike ripped. and the with plastics on it looks great.

HOW DO YOU FAB A REAR BRAKE STOP! otherwise this fab was a total success...

PM me for the info on how to get the same stuff guys... ill give you his email and directions.

Thanks!

Final Pics...

 

if u have a welder or access to one, just weld a little bolt or somthing to swingarm for the brake stopper
