I blame it on "boarderline" hoarding disorder. This is only about 75% of what I have. The nicer stuff is in the house and I have stuff piled in the backyard and trailer as well.

I think of it as my little gold mine. She however thinks of it as the pile of **** that keeps her from parking the BMW in the garage.

Lookin' good!

slimbo · 10-26-2009, 06:38 PM

have any straight mr bars you would part with?

Jthomas7 · 10-26-2009, 06:58 PM

I just checked them out for you. None of my bikes have a perfectly straight set of bars. They are all pretty close but they all seem to be off just a little.

Would you happen to have an air box?

slimbo · 10-26-2009, 07:09 PM

not an extra one.... i will keep you in mind if i come across one cheap.

slimbo · 10-26-2009, 07:12 PM

you wouldn't happen to have z50r hubs for the 84z frame you sold me?

Jthomas7 · 10-26-2009, 09:18 PM

Only set of z50 wheel I have left.

Not sure what years it's off of.

Is that Yamaha YSR50 back there in white???

Jthomas7 · 10-27-2009, 01:25 AM

YSR? blah no everyone has one of those
That is a 1987 Suzuki GSXR 50 aka RB50

How about a little bit of vintage mini bike porn?

arlindsay1992 · 10-27-2009, 03:54 AM

Awesome. So damn awesome.

Does it have a legal street title??? Even a street titled YSR are rare nowadays.

Those RB50s are so rare, that the untrained eye, like me, will mistaken it for a YSR50.

Jthomas7 · 10-27-2009, 02:58 PM

Nope I guess the US models were not street legal.

firepower354 · 10-27-2009, 03:04 PM

My daughter NEEDS one of those MR50's, in pink she tells me, so I don't have to put her on a PeeDubya in the spring.

firepower354 · 10-27-2009, 03:14 PM

What's with the drag race struts in place of the rear shocks???

Jthomas7 · 10-27-2009, 03:32 PM

oh sheesh, I think you are going blind in your old age. First you start mistaking MR50's for XR75's and now you can't make out a DG monoshock frame from a stock one lol?

We might be able to do some swaping on some MR stuff.

I'm trying to source a piston for one right now. Everyone says you can use a PW50 piston but you have to have a spacer. I can't find any details on the spacer though.

Jthomas7 · 10-27-2009, 03:35 PM

Tmas that one actually belongs to a good friend of mine.

1974 XR75
117CC engine, cam, porting, inner rotor, all the goodies. This bike pulls harder than a YZ80

DG monoshock frame

1 off stainless steal exhaust (most XR exhausts exit on the right.)

He's picking up 2 more frames next week one for me one for him. I'm going to be sending off my engine to Terry and building something similar. I think I'm going to go with an all Red theme though.
