What exactly is a SRS Head? was that an optional part over the stock head?
Have you seen someone else use a 07 air boot on an 01 already? and if so why?
I was told the main problem with the 01 lacking power is the fact it has a hard time getting enough air to the carb. Is that why you are changing to the 07?
Also what is an "Abusive Clutch" ?
Srs is an company who make performance product, so basically a tuning head, don't know more but my engine builder will probably remake it to his liking.
Abusive clutch, some clutch that can handle alot of abuse
Hinson or something, complete kit with basket etc etc, haven't decided on brand yet
The 07 airboot does exactly what you think from my own reading/info.. should be a bolt on mod
The Shop
Got my first small batch of ti-hardware. So as soon the shop is up and running, I'm getting back to this bike..
My leg atm.. got xray on tuesday and then I can finally start walking if it looks good, then I'm flying down to Spain to collect my Rv and bike and driving home, 3000km
The chain adjusters and bolts for the footpeg-mounts were kindof pricey for their size
But they are lightweight!! :D
Bolted up the rads with ti-hardware and drilled aluminum washers.
Also testfitted the subframe with the new hardware, looks awesome and I get a little aroused just by looking at it
Don't mind the mess, remodeling as said earlier.
Need to get home from my Spain trip before I order or do more work on it now..
Got linkage and swingarm bearings on order..
Ordered a 02- up airbox and see if it will fit, 01 is impossible to buy and my one are trashed.
Also some minor stuff arriving this week, left peg-mount, chain guides etc etc.
Looking for the swingarm pivot bolt and linkage to frame bolt in titanium with no luck.. need to make a new bolt order soon.
Ti-chain adjusters have been installed at least
Drilled some lightening holes in the upper engine mounts, want to make these in carbon, but this will do for now.
Also routed and test fitted the coolant hoses, just need the hose clamps.
And cleaned the workshop.
Measured and wrote a up a new ti-hardware order for the future
You do anything special to prep your titanium fasteners?
I was thinking about getting some race tech ti rotor bolts. I've always put loctite on steel rotor bolts. But I've read ti is more prone to seizing inside of other metals....
Actually, I have read the same, but since I'm going to use a highly prepped and tuned engine, I use blue loctite on most bolts, don't want anything to come loose. blue maxima grease on bolts like chain adjusters etc
I tear apart the bikes fairly often (20 hrs and stripped to bare frame) so hopefully they won't seize.
But if someone is having other thoughts, please let me know, first build with Ti-hardware
Seems we share some similar ideas...
Just a heads up, find yourself a good Aqua blast/Vapour blast place to get the aluminium Lookinh awesome
Pit Row
Most aluminum parts will be anodized hopefully got contacts with blast cabinets, but thanks for the tip
The 02 airbox fits!
I'll have to use the 02 side panels also tough, and I don't know if the tabs fit for the mounting points, but I'm pretty sure about that.
Biggest question now I'm debating, is whether im gonna drill holes in the air box or not?! does it help on these Hondas? if I do it, either 3 holes straight down at the front, or upper back corner 3 holes like a triangle, help me decide!
Package-Thursday
For both bikes..
Airbox pictures:
Need to prep my 250 first this weekend, but I also got swingarm bearings to install on this bike, we shall see what there is time for
I did put on the swingarm with the old bolt for now, until I manage to get a titanium one from somewhere..
Waiting for the linkage bearings now, and I still need to get back to work so I can buy some more ti-hardware
Main-bitch and side bitch
Apparently, the 2015- crf 250 rear axle is a straight fit, easy to buy ti-hardware there
Ti hardware and CF parts...worked motor and these bikes will fly!!!!
Drilled the airbox, and cut off the old lower brackets for the sideplates. Hopefully I will get them finished this week and then off to the powdercoater again
Hoping to get my carbon parts, titanium bolts and a package with misc stuff, but unsure if it gets here before the weekend.
Also sent my oem hubs to TCR to get their mag treatment :D
I also got the "do it right/how you want or don't do it" kindof mentality with everything
This bike will never be for sale either.
Edit: the plastics will get aluminum bolts , lighter than TI I believe, but I would not trust it on anything else.
