I have a brand new take off 150R front end sitting around with brakes and a wheel. I got it because I wasn't sure what I was going to do with my 140. I wanted the Honda and the Kaw front. If you look at the pics-- I went with the KX100 for a couple of reasons. The Honda is a little bit better though. ---T

why get one of those? yuck monster graphics and a nicely worn rear tire ;)
for 1 my suspension is better than the 150r, 15lbs lighter, engine will last 15 times longer than the 150r and cost about 25% less to build and is a one-off. guys the 150r is a great bike but alot of people from our neck of the woods say the engine is very unreliable and if your over 145lbs your gonna drop another $800 into the suspension to get it set up correctly. plus i can race mine at any pitbike race. oh and i have a new rear tire, just waiting for our team tire changer to get off his lazy as$ and get-r-done. thanks for the comments guys.

I'm on it already... I need a custom shock made tho! Who makes shocks besides Works? Anybody ever ran a Works on any bike other than a KLX110 sized bike? I have one on my 110, and it's decent. I tried 4 of them on a KX65 project before, and they were all bunk-- I finally sent them back, and scrapped the project. I know alot more about suspension now tho, and I'd either get an Ohlins, or a custom spring for the stock shock. Here's a pic of my project. --L*64
