Title: YOu Repro boys build one of these babys... Moto F is so last years
Post by: Freakshow on November 18, 2011, 02:10:55 pm: What constitutes a "works" bike? How about a prototype water cooled YZ125 in an era of air cooled production machines... Trick!

I assume that size to be for the upper triangulated part, the lower main extrusions look square.
And is that the size of the production tubes or the size of the works tubes?

Tubing needs to be 6061

Post by: crankpin on November 23, 2011, 06:46:20 am: All the box sections should be that size and with rounded corners.

And yes 6000 series. Now you see my dilemma? Although I only have one choice,,,

Post by: Davey Crocket on January 01, 2012, 10:25:23 am: Probably 78 or 79 with those type of sidecovers and the chain on the R/H side......being an OW, my guess 78.

Simon the AutoSport show is in a couple of weeks at the NEC. Every tube profile, material and grade you could ever desire will be there. I have the books from previous years if you need to know who makes the stuff. If you havent been it is worth a day out for a looksie....
