im looking into buying a 54mm takegawa crank locally off a budding of mine, right now im running the TB117 (new head, mikuni) and the takegawa close ratio 3spd.. will the crank work?? would i need a taller cylinder? any help much appreciated.

69mm tall cylinder (114 if you go with trail bikes) cam chain and studs and you would be set.

All im basically looking to do is build up a Takegawa 124, but i dont exactly have all the cash to do it all at once so what im thinking of doing is building up the bottom end first, then whenever i have the cash.. swap out the TB117 cylinder and head for a Takegawa cylinder and head.

RcWannabe, would i have to buy a (69mm) cylinder from TB?? I dont see one on theyre website, and i dont see where your getting 114 from?

Your cases are already bored for a 54mm bore, so you will be at 124. DrATV has the 54x69mm tall jug for $70, less than everyone else. Cometic will make a 6mm spacer to save the jug you already have, for about $25. I've made some too, easy. Get the studs and +2 cam chain at DrATV, maybe their Mega cam/Z40 and some Honda ATC125M valve springs too. All you'll have to swap later is head and piston. You might look at a Lifan BVH instead of a Tak or Kitaco. With a mild port cleanup, it's a pretty decent 27/23 head.

If you wanted the cylinder from tb you would use the cylinder from their 114 kit
