Yes you can, as long as it’s bits from a 75,76,77 model bike

Send me your mobile to me on 0407004473 and I’ll send you a pic of the only legal one here in Oz.
I don’t know why you want one as they are exactly the same weight as the original B steel arm.

Not really wasted, onward and upward for 2001. Same host club, same venue, add Evolution 4 str as a championship class and it's all go.
Follow the next weekend with Post Classic and ride our Evo Bikes in Pre85 and yippee !!

Col’s having a “ back to the future “ moment.
Wrong year ??

The fact in your example is that you'd be modifying a disc brake swingarm to accept drum brakes which is outside the rules, just like you can't modify a set of disc brake forks to accept drum brakes. Go, ahead & build the Sexmax & let's see where it goes.

Is it just your opinion that modifying a disc equipped fork or swingarm is illegal because that’s not what the rules state. There is not one reference to disc brake conversions whatsoever being legal or illegal in the rule book for Evolution class.

Ted, while technically a PDS frame is now legal for Evolution being a non linkage frame from the period & yes you could probably get an air cooled engine & drum front end on it within the rules, please explain how you can get a drum brake rear wheel to work without modifications to either the frame or swingarm, which is outside the rules?
I'll re-issue my challenge from a few years ago: Build the "Sexmax" if you're so inclined & present it for scrutineering. If I'm the scrutineer & it's correct as per the rule book, I'll have no issues allowing it. If on the other hand it's not rule correct, you guys have to cop it on the chin & put this nonsense to bed.
K

Modifying a frame or swingarm is not “outside the rules” as long as what you are modifying is made up of componetry from a model that fits entirely within the cutoff year of manufacture, which, now, happens to be 2001. What you are actually modifying is a “era legal model” and componetry which is permissible.

The rules clearly state “ Modifying LATER equipment to comply will not be allowed “

There is not one piece of equipment on a 2001 machine that falls into the “ later equipment “ barrow and is free to modify how one pleases.

Fitting the wheel is too easy??

Probably not many but that’s beside the point.
Take your pick from the available legal components for Evolution Class 2021

AIR COOLED MOTORS
CR 450, 480, 500
YZ 400, 465, 490, 500
RM 400, 465, 500
KX 500
XR 500, 600, 630
TT 600
TC 510
ATK 605
MC 490
KTM 500

DRUM BRAKES
any DUAL Twin leading brakes set up
any SINGLE leading brake set up

NON LINKAGE
2001 Husaberg FC frame, seat, tank, fork, PDS shock
KTM SX / EXC frame, seat , tank, fork, PDS shock

In 2002 it advances forward again, 03,04,05 etc etc.

A reasonable thinking person should have jerried  to the fact that when Evo was moved backwards to the Classic Era all reference of Post Classic component availability should also have been removed.

These new classes have enabled any Evo bike to now use 2001 components.
Welcome to SEXMAX , 6 years in the making

Without doubt the ( stock OME ) 1981 Maygo 490 will be the bike that will always realise good prices.
Not because it’s any good, it’s really quite bad, but because the hype around this bike is extraordinary.

We run a 73 YZ 125, 73 YZ 250, 77 RM 125, 81 YZ 465, 94 KX 500 all on Maxima 927 castor oil at 30:1. These bikes have never lost a race at Nats, Origin or Conondale Classic level. They are ridden flat out for the entire  3-4-5 laps every race by the two fastest guys in VMX with no issues.
So for anybody advocating 40,50,60,1000:1, keep it up. Just makes our job a lot easier??

Six weeks on from this discussion and no news if it’s on or not.
Mick Hughes, can you confirm if any progress has been made?
