So the plan here was to build something useable for trails in wales, but also general dicking about on rocks/tight tracks etc. So here it is - weighs near enough exactly 100kg, built it a rack, a little fairing for my phone/roll chart, added some spotlights for nightime riding, an aux tank, changed the gearing...really happy with it!
Oh ...and it rides pretty well too! B)

Looks great
Can the rear rack hold a lot of weight?

Cheers all, Yep it's the 250f originally, so it runs the wr250 engine with a few tweaks...the service manual I have here says around 34hp which feels pretty good in what feels like a big mountainbike.
No not really, there's no subframe beyond the seat, the rack holds the fuel well, then maybe a couple of roll bags. I have a giat loop which will sit sort of on the rack and grab the tank and subframe for a bit more strength...but no plans to go on any big trips on it, a bivvy and some tools is all I plan to carry.Godspeed wrote:Looks great

It's a "bumtank" which brings overall capacity to just over 2.2 imp gallons so I guess maybe a 100 mile range if it's geting 40-50mpg.Andi_Archer wrote:Very nice looking,whats your fuel capacity and range like with the extra rear [go cart?] tank
