I ended up designing a front brake line guide with my number in it, and kill switch cover in fusion 360. Spliced in cura, then 3D printed on a stock ender 3 v2. Quite happy with it all
I also got on the billet ride engineering v2 front caliper and core moto line. Huge thanks to the user Rider 5280 for the great deal on the caliper! I’m trying a refreshed rm MC for now but will probably swap over to a crf sooner or later
I also finished up the swing arm and test fit the rear wheel. Swingarm is far from perfect but much better then what it was. Also please ignore the messy garage in the backround of photos. Working in a pretty small space for now. Hopefully that will change in the next 6 months or so

I also dealt with the coil pickup backing itself off. Lost spark and it destroyed itself. Messed up the flywheel even more too. So I’ll be picking up a new OEM stator, flywheel, and pickup. I was temped to go the HPI route and get a tuneable CDI box for around the same price as OEM but I got talked out of it.
Had a brand new shock piston bushing fail on me while going on too. Need to wait for another one to show up. Then the bike can finally be a rolling chassis
My dad ended up messing up the factory connection fork sticker, it’s all good though. It’s being built to be ridden, and ridden hard

Photo of me about an hour after the crash in the hospital. First ambulance ride, they are horribly uncomfortable
Now back to important stuff, the bikes mostly alright with some bent bars and a bent subframe. Plastics are somehow alright even though it cartwheeled many times. It was really rich and unhappy but pulled super hard in powerband. Gripped super good too. Billet front brake caliper is insanely strong and progressive. Sticking to the rm mc right now. I still have the crf for whenever I wanna swap it out. I just bought a Honda hpsd off eBay and plan on trying to fit it up. I have some ideas on how to make it bolt on with some custom billet aluminum parts I’ll design then get machined. Will 3D print to test fit everything. Hopefully it will be a bolt on affair but I’m pretty sure I’ll need to trim the steering stop
Currently working on a bolt on solution to get the hpsd on the last gen rm’s. First 3d printed prototype. Need to work on the lower bracket/mount. And finite the upper mount. I’ll likely end up using 6061-t6. Finite will give me a better idea of what alloy makes the most sense. I’ll end up removing as much material as I can while still keeping it super strong. Because is it really trick if you don’t try to remove some weight? Haha. Ill have to relocate the cdi to the airbox as the upper mount is using the cdi mounting bracket
Pit Row
Also picked up a se4 carbon as it was on a blowout sale. Crazy just how light and comfortable this helmet is. 10x better then the Polly version. The GoPro will be heavier then the helmet haha
Back to cool stuff, bought a linkage thinking it would fit my bike as it was advertised as so. But it’s a 04/05 kx125/250 pro circuit linkage. Definitely can’t be mad as I got a great deal on it. I’ve been thinking about making some replica ones as they are pretty rare to find for sale. If anyone is interested lmk. If I end up doing a replica of these kx linkage systems then I’ll end up doing a billet linkage system for the rm’s too. Based off the pro circuit geometry. I’ve never seen billet knuckles for the rm’s and would love to make a fully billet linkage system for these bikes as I love the look of billet bling
Also, that linkage looks like a early kx/rm 250f. Which is why you got it cheap. Wont work on KX smokers at-all. KX125s and 250s in those years have different linkages too.
