Not too much progress. I have a crude home built sandblast cabinet that I can assemble/disassemble in 10 minutes. I hate sandblasting. Got the frame, subframe,both hubs and handlebar done.

Do not EVER say "Just one more moto...." or anything even similar. In fact, don't even think it. If you do, you will yard sale. This applies to surfing, snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, etc.

How much more would it cost to toss a chunk of billet mag in the CNC vs a chunk of aluminum? Or you could do like the guy did with the CRF450 and have molds made to cast your own mag hubs.

or a magnesium swingarm and linkage?

I went to one and avoided the other. I can't think of anything more gay......🙄 While it sucks getting old, I sure am glad I was raised in the generation I was because today's kids are from another planet. Doing gender reveals and glued to their phones instead of LIVING LIFE.

I went with the option of welding to the crossover and making a bracket that bolts to the lower engine mount. This seemed to be the best option. Didnt go the thru bolt because of how far back the mount is. There is about .020 between the lower mount and the crossover piece. Yes that plate is where the oil injection pump was. I bought the engine as a basket case and didnt have a good pump. If I did I may have went with injection. You are correct the yamaha oil injection is VERY reliable. The blaster engine is...

With the rear lower mount, I assume when the engine is positioned to attain the correct height of the CS to the SA pivot ( an Important Thing that I Know I go on Ad-Nauseum about , but, it's a Conversion Stuff Up So Many do ) a Bolt would be pretty much in line with the cradle tubes? Now, perhaps you can put in mounts welded to the cross brace ( that the linkage goes to), and, put a 'port' on one cradle rail to feed the bolt through. Not hard, and, done well, strong. Another 'take', is, to...

I never intended to make this a build thread, but after thinking about all the awsome builds I have enjoyed reading about on here I decided to do it. Maybe it will help inspire someone else. I have been toying with putting a Yamaha Blaster engine in a modern frame to create a low maint, light and fun play bike for years. Was leaning towards a 125 from the early 2000s to work with or possibly a 250f. I then came across a yz125, a kx125 and an xr250 with blaster swaps on the net and decided to do it...

Rio Rancho isn’t known for being close to any National Lab, Test Site, nor Military Facility. My guess is that his autoimmune deficiency started when he left Baker’s.

Forget GoPros... this guy risked it all with a camera bolted to his helmet in 1970 Before onboard cameras became normal, Triumph rider Don Castro was already showing fans what racing really looked like. With a bulky camera strapped to his helmet, Castro gave audiences a rider's-eye view of the 1970 AMA Grand National Championship—long before modern technology made it easy. Real racing. Real risk. No filters. No second chances. Would today's riders be brave enough to race with that setup on their helmet?

Ol’ 410! Used to ride with him at the old Coronado track in ABQ. Tedesco’s were kids. Buckelew was 12! Heard he’s a UPS man up in Iowa? My claim to MX fame is I wrote the first published article on Star Racing. Of course it was Bobby J’s Yamaha Star Racing back then.
