Thanks! We're using a slightly darker blue on the Yamaha stuff as it better matches the bike:

The blue is so amazing! They would look so good on my YZ. Can’t wait to see the bike finishers. Nice work Billy!

I’ll 2nd that. You 100% get what you pay for with their stuff.

Luxon stuff is nothing but top notch.

Been a while since I’ve updated, recently had the carbon fiber front disc guard arrive after a very, very lengthy wait. Also a few extra pieces of Ti for engine mount bolts. Main thing left to do is kashima coat fork tubes and A kit shock housing. This will most likely happen once my little Honda Z50j project is complete. Bike is currently taking pride of place in my living room whilst the build has been progressing on the Z50j

Wow, it's been over two years since this started! And the bike is still sitting in pieces in the office... 2020 has been a crazy year, and that's really screwed up progress on this project bike. 2021 will change that and I'm hoping to wrap this up in the coming months. We released our Gen2 triple clamps a few months back, so I've stuck a set on this bike. The blue really pops against the KyoKote black fork tubes. These have the Renthal Fatbar36 bar mounts mentioned earlier in the thread: These clamps are an evolution of our...

With all that analysis, we ended up with a mount stronger AND lighter than our original Gen1 bar mounts. These ended up being only 31 g heavier than stock, which is not bad considering they're 300% stronger and a larger diameter to fit the FB36 bars!

Off-topic here so just short answer: No-Mastercross is not involved AT ALL! He was lucky to get hold of such a chassis as it was US , a small group of closer friends, that asked Carlo Verona to do us some replicas. the "Talk-Master" as i call him lately, was lucky to get one as well. It's 5 years we waited for these parts to be finished!

I bought one of these a few weeks ago.... worth every penny! Makes me wonder "why didnt I think of that?"

I see you doing cost per gram comparisons...well - BY FAR he most effective are these: Innertubes for Fatbikes. Don't laugh !! I'm using them for 5 years now without any issues. There's the german SCHWALBE brand, a very well known manufacturer for bicycle tires. The only downside they have is the tiny Presta valve. So you need a bicycle pump to inflate them. Other than that no issues. You have to use the largest size so the thin rubber doesn't get streched anymore inside the MX tires. One size fits both front & rear. If you prefer the regular...

We've expanded our DLC offerings and now have Ice Blue and Rainbow in addition to standard black. So we'll have to decide which color to go with on the build! I'm leaning towards the Ice Blue to keep with the blue color theme we've got going, but the rainbow looks pretty flashy... And I'm not certain on the upper tube color yet, but we'll likely go with our black Kyokote as shown here: Ice Blue: Rainbow:

Got a chance to clean up the front disc and install it, along with the works clevis and clutch cover

AMA factory Suzuki disc showed up, in need of a good clean up but should be able to get it looking decent with some elbow grease

Back in 87' I had a set of conventional CR250 cartridge forks on my Cr125. The forks came off an 87 CR250 and the owner before me removed the original cartridges installed the Mugen cartridge kit. I have never rode anything since That resembled the first few inches of plushness on tiny ripple bumps, roots, rocks etc.

I cleaned it really good with a degreaser and then I painted it with an automotive paint. It has held up really well so far.
