Cutting the frame tube for sure. I had to do it this way due to how the new zx handlebars sit. If I would have swapped stems my handlebars would be 6" taller.

Re: Too many build threads- 01 Honda Elite
I did zero measuring btw. I just cut where bones told me to and it was perfect
Re: Too many build threads- 01 Honda Elite
Man that looks so awesome. Is that a drum brake hub? Can't see the other side

Disk hub 4x140
Re: Too many build threads- 01 Honda Elite
Do you still have the 10-12 mm axle shaft or did you sell that with the wheels? Where did you get that from?

I still have them. You can get them from mnnthbx.com you'll have to email him for them instead of buying the disk to drum adapter

Re: Too many build threads- 01 Honda Elite
My front end was way to high luckily the front end on my ruckus became to low with my new headlight on there. So I swapped springs and got the elites nose down a little farther. I wasn't satisfied, I got lucky and a set of ultra low fork tubes came up for sale. I swooped and now my front end is dumped. Love it
Re: Too many build threads- 01 Honda Elite
It's lookin good man! Just curious, how low in the back is it gonna ride? Are you runnin a stretch kit?

You should put a lower profile tire in the front maybe, like a 80/90 or maybe even a 90/65. Looks great w those wheels dumped out.
Re: Too many build threads- 01 Honda Elite
Shoot!......with the rrgs forks, the tire is the only "suspension" he's gonna have!

I'm running no Springs and a 2.75x10 tire up front n I cringe at railroad tracks, but that's it really. No suspension isn't really that bad.

gonna keep the meat up front. i dont want to spend money on tires anyway when these pirelli and in great shape it doesnt look like from the pic but i have tons of fender left up in there for wheel travel. if it has any suspension at all lolbenji wrote:You should put a lower profile tire in the front maybe, like a 80/90 or maybe even a 90/65.

I'm only going to part if the frame goes. I'll keep nickel and diming it together until then. Still so much neededMeloshameless wrote:Hey, pretty sure i bought the yasuni/polini vari from you. I just seen this frame on SSS website, u selling the head set and rims too?
