Im going to be picking up a CRF50 soon. Just waiting to find out exactly what im wanting. I know the reliablity of the stock honda but if im going to be big boring it, new suspension, and USD forks up front I wonder if I should just get a rolling chassis of ebay and then order the engine I want and build it myself. My concern is how good are the chinese copy frames? Im not going to race it or jump it. Pretty much just a toy I can play around with and wheelie when im bored. Im 6'2" and 240 lbs so I know im way to big for it but ive riden them before. As for the engine its a given the chineese engines are garbage, so ill just be getting a honda engine and moding it.

Any ideas or know of anyone that has one for sale?

Pit Bikes are a sick addiction.......Ive seen some poeple spend some serious $$$$ on building these bikes up. I had trouble finding a mini when I was looking for my son. seems like when the kid outgrows the bike dad keeps it for his collection.

Thanks Vader, how you been man?

I can say it wont become an addiction but it would be a lie, my addiction list is rather long!

Awsome good to hear from you guys.

Yeah I actully got the 50 yesterday, I started to learn to wheelie it today, i can find the balance point but not quite confortable with it yet, plus im sick as hell so only rode for about 45 minutes.

Also got an issue with the forks, when the BBR big bar kit is on the forks are tweaked and the handlebars and wheel dont line up straight, i pull off the bar kit and its perfectly straight. I will be pulling it back apart and taking measurements of the BBR kit, I already measured the recess in the tripple for the fork tops and it fluxuates about .020 which isnt horrible but its supposed to be CNC machined! I could turn one manualy on an old brideport and be more accurate!

Off to drink some more Night quil.
