Planet Minis

I know this isn't "mini," but a friend of mine made this conversion, and it deserves our admiration.

This is what is done to the bike:
"Well it took about 50 hours to strip the frame, cut the frame, fit the new motor, Fab new down tube and frame cradle, Fab new cross support between down tube and back bone, Cut relief in wish bone for new carb routing, Fab gussets between back bone wish bone, Raise tank 1 1/4", Straighten sub frame, Raise sub frame 1 1/4", Fab Stainless steal air boot, Fab intake manifold, Fab bracket to hold Tank, CRF450 shrouds, key switch, fake radiator guards, fab Spacers to adapt YZ85 front fender, YZ85 front number plate, Fab M4 exhaust bracket to sub frame, Fab YZ (no) reservoir rear brake master cylinder to brake pedal, Cut and reweld brake pedal to miss cases of new motor, Split cases of new motor, Powder coat new motor, powder coat frame, Reassemble motor, Install Big Bore Kit, Assemble Bike."

Very nice job. That thing is going to be a blast. The hard work paid off nicely it looks like. I have heard that the major bike companies are going to start production models of these creations we build just like that within the next two years---factory 4 strokes that will compete in the 85CC 2 stroke classes. Will be intesting to see what the factories come up with. Here is my project that will be done very soon.

Mine consistes of a 2003 KX85 chassis with a 1996 XR100 motor. The motor now has a Takagawa 115cc superhead kit with Keihn PE24 carb, FMF power core 4 pipe, BBR rev box, High strenth cam chain. Rest of mods are being done now for a grand unvailing at the 1st Trapani mini race over at English town on April 23rd. Hopefully I will have had a couple weeks of ride time on it before the race to get used to this set up. That will depend on how fast it comes together from here. Motocaddy, where you from? Up near the east coast anywhere?

The YZ124F......... Started life as an 03' CR85. It has an 03' XR100 motor with a Two Bros 124 Superhead kit. Kitaco inner rotor kit. I still have to have the rims anodized blue and polish the hubs. It is so fast. I have the stock ignition on it right now. I'm haveing trouble with the Kitaco, It cuts out at 8900 rpms and wont come back on until 7000 rpms. If I keep it under 8900. It is AWSOME. With the M4 pipe, Inner rotor and 124 kit it sounds like a 250F and revs quicker. Classic Honda is helping me fix the problem with the inner rotor, And I didn't even buy it from them.
