Ive heard Graham Morris makes awesome frames, beware of immitations. :D

Best forks are Fox, best seat and tank is YZ125C, best wheels are YZ400 rear and XT500 front (bigger brakes), best shocks are Ohlins, best airbox is Graham Morris, best engine mods are 540 piston and megacycle cam and finally best ignition is SR CDI.

Or you can use a OlaTec frame, but they are pretty rare.... ;)

When I get the bolts, this will come on

and it will be pretty close to what Marc explained :)

Who's this Graham Morris character, sounds like he's copied that Geoff Morris stuff :o

now wheres Hiemi?

I organised Hiemi to weld some frames for me but when I told him to hop to it he was last seen hopping through the paddocks.


I have plastic seat bases available now as well as foams for the HL

...................(in my best Maxwell Smart voice)....now wheres Hiemi?

he was undercover as the state premier ( alias Steve Bracks) until he handed it over to Mr John Brumby.


there was some other bloke  making frames under the Jeff Marris name as well ?

The telemarketers stuffed up once and for years I used to get junk mail addressed to Jeff Maurice

Unless he was the guy around the corner making frames :o
