Title: Hello
Post by: lsampson on April 04, 2013, 09:07:11 AM

My name is Lee, I'm new to the site, and I love all the info/Help I've already received!

I'm not new to bikes, I started with a 1981 XR 200, bumped it up to a 1990 CR 250, then a 1994 YZ 250, and recently bought my uncles 1991 KX 5-hundy. Still working on a few "bugs" but even without it running right I can tell the thing will be a BEAST.

I also have a 1968? Rokon Trailbreaker (2WD motorcycle) that I'm restoring (slowly).

Good to be here, and thank you in advance for all the help!

Welcome. Does your Rokon have the bar tread tires?
They look fun :lol:

yeah, unfortunately they are dry-rotted, so I'm going to have to replace them with a more modern "non-tractor" style tire. It has a 134 cc 2 stroke engine that is pretty weak (no mikuni, no reeds, no exhaust valves) so I'm considering fitting an XR 200 engine or something similar to replace the stock engine. My problem is I don't want to hack up the frame, so I would have to rig mounting plates for everything.
