Nice products Dave especially the KSI Honda. Doesn't look like they build a frame for a XL/XR500 Honda motor so if you want to build a twinshock Evo 4 stroke Honda the C&J looks like the only choice... which makes it worth the money ;)

The KSI frame (the new one) is available.  It is exceptionally well equipped and includes shocks.  You need forks, wheels and motor. Price reflects the mind blowing quality.  Quality isnt cheap, but neither is the work of a mastercraftsman.  You will be very hard pressed to find anything better....

Oh and Miles is working on getting an XL / XR 500 in there.....

That bike now resides in a collection of exotic thumpers, never to be ridden again :-(

Up until now I thought they all looked like poop, but I REALLY like that  8) 8) 8)
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

Very cool.. don't see many C&J Yamaha's. Simon why did you sell it? Was it competitive with late 70's CCM's?

It's a long story, but in short.

The frames were replicas of one that we came upon which was damaged (badly). The one I built didn't handle too well (30* head angle) and at the time I assumed the builder could make me another and just tighten up the steering head a little. I still have enough parts to build another, excepting the frame...

The builder of this particular replica frame is still kicking about, trying to sort everything and catch up on his workload. One day....

Of course, you can extract a LOT of reliable power from the XT/TT lump, but it's 10lb heavier than the BSA/CCM donk.
