Link international do blank sprockets at around 69 dollars. Can order direct or through local dealer. Link is a Major motorcycle accessories supplier so should no problem.

New to the sport of VMX but this sounds like just the ticket to get a toe in the water.

Hi Guys,

Sorry time passed and then it's a year later.
Well the project stalled, work ruled life and other projects took all the money.

Thought I would post some pic's here of the updates as I not sure were best to start, except where I left off.

I am looking to put a build thread up with some things I picked up along the way that might be of use to anyone looking to follow in a similar footstep. This is my second bike build and after a bit of research and encouragement from some local guys I am going to dive back into dirt bike after the limited exposure in my youth.

Anyway all that can wait till I start up a different thread, in the meantime here is a quick snapshot of the beginning recent progress.

Picked out the back of Stanthorpe 3hrs west of Brisbane:


After a wash down... so much crud!


current rolling chassis


rebuild of engine with cr125 barrel/head, reed valve adapted and vm36mikuni, waiting on a geoff morris exhaust and air box, modified squish and ports.


Bit of a frankenstein but let me know what you think?

Also thank you for all the replies of encouragement!

Cheers
Michael

Hi Guys,

Joined up a couple of months ago have being busy with change of job and finishing a couple of projects.
Will be looking to post some progress reports of my current build HondaMT125.
I know it's not the favourite of many due to under power but I go for the under dog and love a challenge.

Cheers

Michael
