I think I have the an addiction.....

Hey. I am Josh. And I am addicted to minis. lol. Not really yet anyways. I was surfing CL and I found a guy who had a CRF50 pit bike that was torn apart and he wanted 200 bucks cash for it. I thought what the heck, and told him I would pick it up after I was done with work. So I show up and was not what I was expecting......... it came with:

Billetware cradle frame
BBR gold aluminum swing arm
Three sets of 10" stock wheels
New set of pirelli street tires
New set of michelin starcross motocross tires
New set of dunlop ice tires with brand new studs and tire wraps
I shock for the rear
Set of stock forks
White plastics with Monster decals
FMF PC4.1 exhaust
Carbon ignition cover
Carbon fork guard

I about pissed myself when he said everything for 200 bucks. I bought it needless to say. So that is the good.

Now onto the bad:

Front forks are shot. The tubes are bent.
No motor
No handle bars
No chain or sprockets
no axle adjusters
and a few two wheels have bent spokes.

Overall, I don't think I did too bad. But it is going to take me some time to get running since I am already pretty busy with some other projects at the moment. I have 3 1973 Honda ST90s. A Mexican Yellow Trail50, and a 1951 Heald Super Bronc VT-10. HAHA.

So motor was missing... Completely? Still tho, for 2 hundo's you knocked it outta the park! Well done! Chineese motors on eBay are only $300ish. So even if you had $500 in it that is still a smoken deal !

Post some pics!

[Pink Panthered]

Yes. No motor what so ever. I got a carb and throttle tube and some wiring. That is all. I am thinking of a pirhana 140? I would post pictures, but can't figure out how to resize it. Sorry......

Yeah that is a good motor for sure. That one might be a lil more then $300. Not positive tho. Quick eBay search will open up all sorts of options. Good luck! And to post pictures, join photobucket.com upload pics to your album and then post the link. (it won't show as an image. Just a link) and once you click "post quick reply" your link turns into the image.

Its not as hard as it sounds.

Oh, and for what it's worth. I have a Honda motor for sale. It has the TB 88 big bore TB race head TB race cam plus an inner rotor ignition. (it will run with the piranha 140) IMO jap stuff is much higher quality

The engine and all the goodies is 390 shipped from Tboltusa. I am thinking I will try and source all my parts from him. I had a BUNCH of questions regarding my old st90 and he seemed very helpful. And good customer service is hard to find these days.

PM me the info on the engine, ya know, just in case.
