good post.
Could you give an example of something you would need from Honda OEM?
357 Racing said:Well I know that crf70 forks will mount up, um plastics, seat, gas tank. And stuff. I know its a god thing for parts but OEM honda? Their stuff sucks. I mena think about it, I would rather buy a set of fastway pegs compared to stock oem hondas... See what I mean. Its nice but not for OEM stuff, just for aftermarket. Just look at the ttr's they came out and have nothing really to upgrade them. Am I making sense?

Joshtee said:From this I gather "it takes CRF parts" means that if you go to order parts, order CRF aftermarket parts, correct?
As far as OEM goes, they might suck, but where do you get little odds and ends parts? SSR I suppose, over the phone/e-mail. If the forks bolt up, does that mean that Honda headset bearings will work?
CRF 70 parts that work for the SSR:
-Plastics
-Seat
-Gas tank
-Sprockets
-Aftermarket CRF70 parts
-Bearings? (headset? swingarm?, ect?)
-?
It's hard to convince the average Joe that parts for their bike will be available 2 years down the road, when there is no real parts diagrams to look at, or parts department. Now if this was a conventional motorcylce purchase (from a local dealer) this is no big deal. The dealer can show you a parts diagram you can point at. For internet purchases (w/ no local dealer) you need parts diagrams customers can look at and at least get a part # that they need. Maybe SSR diagrams are available through email?
Maybe someone can clear this up. Who do you contact down the road for SSR SR150r OEM parts? Do I just try to describe the part over the phone, or E-mail pics? Prices? Price quote over the phone?
I am not taking sides here, but if you want these bikes to be more streamline, ease of ordering parts is huge. Alot of people just getting into motorcycles my not know the proper nomenclature to order over the phone or through email. Having Diagrams w/ part #'s would make it easy. Even if you just had diagrams w/ part #'s, then email the # to SSR or a SSR dealer. That would probably work.
slowracer said:I think you missed the point any part that will work on a crf70 OEM or Aftermarket will work on the 150r.This also goes for all crf50 aftermarket parts that we know will fit a crf70.
SSR has diagrams and part # for the complete bike,all dealers should have this.I will post it up when I get home tonight.
Also after the first of the year a 80 page owners manual is coming out.
The bike was designed to have all the parts replacable if needed.
Forks,swingarm,pegs,pegmount,plastics,sprockets,bearings,even the frame, can all be relaced with oem or aftermarket crf50/70 parts.
If you put a yx with crf50 ports or a honda motor, all crf70 pipes will fit.
Even if SSR went out of buisness you would still be able to repair and replace your 150r.
