Looks like a modern mini Baja/Dakar beast!
My CRF50 with a Monkey Baja Front End - Hybrid
I started working on the hybrid last night. This is going to be "my beater", the bike I ride the canyons with and will be my girlfriend's learning bike.

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.

Cool! Battery backup for the lighting? Stalled engine = dark crash

What does that speedo look like? I'm going to use the Vapor since I have it handy. The tricky part of this will be getting the electronics off the Baja Designs back panel and mounting it behind the lights without it looking too ugly. It will be challenging since I don't plan on using the windscreen.
