[QUOTE=JeremyC;253174]Man, I wish I'd seen this a half hour ago... I just bought the set of 4 LED signals on ebay. While you're here (or if anyone else knows), is there a flasher change required to make them work? I know a lot of cars and trucks need a different flasher, or you get the strobe effect LOL![/QUOTE
i got a complete led conversion kit from amazon, i didnt have to change the flashers, im not really sure but i think the turn signals have the resistors built right into them,the whole thing was a simple plug and play, im sure there is someone here that knows more about how these work than i do, |

These were around $11 shipped and not on a slow boat LOL! At least I'll have something to do I guess.

I got a surprise from fedex today. Last time I'd emailed txps, the front wheels weren't expected to arrive until next week, but it came today with no email notification, so it was unexpected. Looks like I have a weekend project! I'll be glad to be riding again.. it's been almost 2 months!
I just checked the spokes.. got a few that are under-tightened, so every one of you guys should be checking spokes right out of the crate. I had a few loose ones on the bike, and now a couple loose ones on the replacement. |

Already taken care of. Now, to get all my afternoon running done, so I can get this thing back together.

It rides again, but I'm pretty sure both forks are bent, with the left one being the worst one. The point of the fender is off center by about 7/16". I'm just gonna ride the hell out of it and not worry about it until the seals start leaking.
OK question: Someone on here recently swapped out the tree and forks from a honda.. what models and years will fit our bikes? I know where there's an XR250 for sale with no motor for $100. If I knew for sure the tree and forks would swap, I'd look into getting it. |

That would depend on the year of XR250. I swapped a 1985 XR250 front end onto Son of Weldangrind's XR200, which is likely to have the same steering neck as a Honda clone China bike. Not a guarantee, mind you.

go here http://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconversion and type in Dirt/ 1992 / Honda /XR200R you will be presented with a list of bikes, and bearing sets.. those sets will convert the fork&tree from that bike to the hawk's steering column. There are many possible doner bikes listed... the bearing kit will have the better roller bearings and the supplied races fit right into the hawks stem. The new bearings will take much more side load. You still have to be concerned about any offset in the doner tripple tree, or clearance issues encountered as a result of much bigger tubes or wider tripple tree. It also doesn't account for stem lengh, "I had to thread mine over an inch further down the stem" That said I used forks from a 1985 xr350, they are 41mm tubes, and the tripple tree is a bit wider "i didnt measure it" , But it barely touches the tank at full turn "on the stops" so i placed a peice of dense foam there and let it bang the tank a few times, plenty of clearance now. The forks are longer "but that was needed" and you can just leave the extra sticking out the top of the tripple tree if you want it lower. Mine can be extended 1" further in the stem before the limit line so I used most of the forks length.. |
