So here's where I'm at so far. Kinda hit a road block with the intake boot and the kicker. I still have to fill in the welds on the swingarm then grind it down before its off to the powder coater.

2005 CRF100 was the donor.
BBR 120cc kit is on the way
22mm TM Flat slide on the way

shw911 · 04-18-2008, 11:56 PM

Maybe call it a YXR100 (a la XR100).

supernes550 · 04-19-2008, 12:09 PM

looks good man.

can you fab my ysr next

elitexsenate · 04-19-2008, 03:25 PM

We were thinking of offering a service, you send us your swingarm and for $225 we send it back braced and ground ready for paint ($25 for return shipping and 200 for labor and parts).

My boss is doing a Kenny Roberts replica:

how about the engine cradle? what kind of mods are needed to bolt up the motor?

firepower354 · 04-19-2008, 08:22 PM

Man, a nice center-port big valved head conversion would make it easier

elitexsenate · 04-19-2008, 10:58 PM

Ohhhh got it Supernes, it is really easy. I just ground the cases about half a millimeter on each side of the rear upper case mount and then it slipped right it and lined right up.

The front is a bit trickier but easy if you have a welder. I'm going to finish it on Monday so I'll post pictures and instructions. I figured out a simple way to integrate the stock Honda motor mount into the graft.

elitexsenate · 05-10-2008, 02:19 PM

Little update, sorry for the low quality pics. Got the RCV bodywork!!!! Still gotta figure out a windscreen.

Bosses YSR is coming along nicely

elitexsenate · 05-10-2008, 02:20 PM

I'm gonna have to modify the frame on the rear so the tail slides all the way down.

elitexsenate · 05-10-2008, 04:56 PM

Thank you Shawn!

btw, it mocks up REALLY nice. MUCH skinnier than the stock stuff but still wide enough in the front so I can use the stock fairing stay as a jump off point.

adamysr · 05-10-2008, 11:06 PM

i like the braced swingarm, have u thought of "plating" it so it looks like the motor gp bikes or like the rcvmini swingarm they make for the nsr ?? i think it would take some work for a sure but the cool factor would be sweet.

shw911 · 05-10-2008, 11:49 PM

This bike is gonna look awesome...

X7rocks · 05-10-2008, 11:56 PM

id hit it

elitexsenate · 05-16-2008, 09:09 PM

Thanks guys

I'm contemplating plating it now
Mini update, raised an inch in the back and tail mounted. Under seat exhaust in the works!

mxer3648 · 05-16-2008, 09:17 PM

sweet i really want to get a ysr

adamysr · 05-16-2008, 11:29 PM

i think u should plate it dude, it would be off the hook for sure ! ! I mean who has a gp replica swingarm on a ysr u know. keep me upadted on it

elitexsenate · 05-23-2008, 10:16 PM

Mocked up

If anyone has an NSF screen or YSR seat pan they want to part with please let me know

I've decided to not box the swingarm in. If I had thought about it earlier I would have made the cross bar lower but as it sits boxing it in would leave it obnoxiously tall.

elitexsenate · 05-23-2008, 10:19 PM

Raised an inch in the rear too. Just took out the top shock bushing and welded it to the top, only lost a mm or 2 of wheelbase so I'm hoping that doesn't hurt me too much with the CRF120 motor in there. Gearing can always be adapted I guess.

What does it mean to "box in the swingarm" or to "box in the frame"??
