New project. Maybe this one will finish. Lifanuki

The Ct90s are just not going to happen and they have more ebay value than the Dr250.

Since I have a good lifan 125cc horizontal pit bike motor and all the parts to make it run and I also have a nice clean Suzuki DR250 rolling chassis with everything, but a good engine.

Time for alittle slobberin and monster garage action.

Okay I got the original motor out of the frame and did alittle test fitting etc.

I think this will work.









I am going to have to cut the down tube off to clear the head and then I think I am going to make a lower mount using the peg adapter I bought for the CT project and attach it to one of the stock locations. This will get the correct location and alignment of the sprocket.

From there I will use some scrap metal to make mount to the two main motor mounting points on the engine. I am going to make a frame cradle using the original honda CT skidplate to tie the frame together.

This will be fun.

that's wild, but it's gonna be cool when it's done

[katoranger]

It will be about 30lbs lighter than stock with a low center or gravity too.

I don't think it will go much over 30mph, but that is fast enough for me.

so just wondering.....did the DR engine have a mount that the swingarm bolt went thru :?:

It looks interesting and I'm sure you'll have it done long before the many projects I have going.


and where'd you get that popcorn ImEasy :?:

[IronFist]

I like the popcorn too.

If it's gonna be slow, is it for the girls, Kato?

TC, The swingarm held the original engine in place. I am go to make a spacer to go in there.

This is to be able to ride the girls around and for me to ride with kids on small bikes. I am planning to make some pegs and a small set of bars mounted over the tank for them to hold on to. 2 and 4 years old.

I have changed thoughts to using part of the CT90 frame and welding it into place to hold the engine.

I am open to suggestions for mounting this.

Everyone stock up on the popcorn.

Well here is a mockup using part of the CT90 frame. I actually hack it out and used part of the CT90 swingarm bolt tube to mount it on the suzuki swingarm bolt.



ImEasy's pit bike exhuast stuck on there. Going to use part of it and an xr80 exhaust I have.


The kickstart lever will need some reworking to clear the frame.

I really think that I need to raise it about 3/4" to get the countershaft more inline with the swingarm bolt.

This will work.

I have stawberry whoppers right now but I think the popcorn is around here somewhere.

[katoranger]

The monster garage with the slobberin is about to start. The sprockets are lined up.

Waiting on the rear 56T from ImEasy and I will have to drill the correct bolt pattern onto it.

I don't want popcorn lung. I like Manard's Sour Wine Gums anyway. I'm still looking for a project. Less slobber, more elbow grease.

[katoranger]

Okay. I did alittle slobberin before being called in.

I effectively raised the rear mount about 3/4" and found a piece of tubing that fits snugly on the swingarm bolt. Got this welded in place and the rear mount for the subframe is in place. This lines up the countershaft sprocket in the right place for the rear sprocket and at the right height to clear the swingarm.

No picture tonight. Too dark. Hope to have the motor in place tomorrow.
