post pics of your bikes

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

Always loved the plastics on the 06 KTMs. I kind of wish that I could have been able to put those plastics on one of my 08 200s before we sold them. I feel like it would have been really cool.

What did you have to change on your 200 before it was ready for mx?

The stock springs work well enough for me. Sag checked out fine with stock Ti rear spring. I'm really underweight for my height. I'm 6'5" and only weigh 172lbs. That's without gear though.
Use the racetech spring calc.

The calc says you need a .45 up front, and a 5.2 out back. Stock is .43 and 5.9. Believe me, it DOES make a huge difference.

Guess there's sort of a discrepancy in my post. My bikes were an 08 125 and 144 (essentially the 150), where we bolted on the 200 cylinder among other things. The 125, 144, 150, and 200 all have the same motor with different cylinders and internal parts. The 200SX was only made in 02 and 03, I believe, so it's hard to find parts for them, but it's a great MX bike. Too bad there was no market for them at the time and the MX version got dropped.

I agree, i like the plastics as well. I dont like how hard it is to get parts for the 06 as the 07 bike changed completely. It takes alot of waiting.

I am also no expert, but I can't believe you asked what make it was... :twisted:

It looks like a Honda CB350 to me. But once again, no expert...

Oh ya, haha. Whoops, didn't look at the cases. Noticed the tank emblem but thought there was possibly a chance the tank was not the original.

mxracer118 I'll for sure be putting up vids of this thing when its done :D

Hahaha I'll forgive you ddmx, it is really common for tanks to be from different makes and models on cafe's. But yah it is a 71' cb350 with 12K original miles. I bought it in December for $500 and have been slowly plugging away at it since. Engine, suspension, frame, controls, tank, seat, brakes, electronics, wheels, tires, everything has been modified in some way; basically nothing is stock at this point haha. 6months later now and I'm hoping to fire her up later this week. Got the carbs jetted and installed with velocity stacks and the rear sets are now mounted. Will upload pics later prolly. The before and after pics are pretty crazy to look at haha
