i havent seen any frames besides walsh that are perfect. i have an arens chassis and its preety good except a few areas where fitment problems caused some trouble.


walsh is a long wait but well worth it.

LSR Herrmann and Houser no longer make them. I had an Arens frame once and it was ok other than a few alignment problems. JRD is overpriced and I would buy Walsh before I gave 7k for a JRD chassis. The race-co stuff better be cheap before I'd consider them. JB even make CRF chassis's? Anyone know PRP's website?

Legacy doesn't make the viper frames for a CRF anymore.

Lonestar still makes them though.

Walsh, Lonestar, JRD, Houser and PRP are the only ones i know of.

I've never heard or seen the Race Co frame, so i'd be kind of sceptical about that one.

LSR and Houser does not make them anymore. I need to call JB. I talked to LRD last year about an aluminum frame for a CRF and they said it would never hold up for MX.

TCR/PRP...Makes them and I think they are just about the best for the money...I have a couple of friends that have them and not problems yet...good construction, flip to subframe, adjustable ride hieght....they also have swingarms and a arms...

I can get you a good deal on their stuff...give me a shout...

The PRP frames are good, quality frames. There have been several built in the last couple years by JH Racing and they have held up fine. You can get a full rolling chassis from PRP (frame, a-arms, steering stem, swingarm, etc). They have all the features of the more popular frame builders at a good price. I've ran PRP products on my 250R and 450R, they worked great!

you have to buy their arms and swigner along with a whole bunch of other crap that ends up coming to about 7 grand,and i asked if you can just buy the frame seperatly,they are like no,you need to use are swingers and arms

With JRD chassis, you need their frame, a-arms, swingarm and i believe you need their stem too but im not sure about that one.
other than the fact that their chassis is set up for their components, it's a great chassis.

Oh yeah, and i just so happen to have a JRD chassis for sale if anyone interested.!!
