Looks like a modern mini Baja/Dakar beast!

P.S. You are sick, seek help.

I got the sweet Monkey Baja front end from Z last year, thanks Dan, and had them repainted a gloss black by Monterey Park Auto Body.
I also got the front sheild from Wurms, thanks Jude, also painted but kind of dig the look without them, so I don't think I'll use them.
I have a Baja Designs light kit that I will be gutting to make this setup work.
The rear has a +2 G-craft swing arm and Elka shock. My plans are to reuse my 8" jincheng wheels for now and throw in a Takegawa 88 motor. I have some Kitaco rearsets for it and will mount some low rise bars to finish it off.
Let me know what you guys think... good or bad.![]()

BAJAZBR said:Cool combination. Looks like a mini xr650 baja 1000 bike. Would like to see it on one of the rides?You gonna run stock wheels or go 10in? Ive got an 88z and a baja front end,so im watchin you and stealin ideas,lol.The speedo/light panel from an 80s ct70 is as close as I can find to the original baja speedo assembly which would be metric anyway.
