Got a cr80 motor and a empty 400ex frame.
I wanted a light weight mx/dirt road type "fun" quad that wasnt 300lbs and came up with the idea of a 2 stroke 80 full size quad.
In this pic I was just testing some things out.

One thing I see thats gonna be easy is the spacer for the motor to swingarm bolt, the swinger bolt in the pic is actually from a cr80 and is the exact size of the 400ex swinger bolt, so its just one less thing to have to do.
Actually this is the bolt from the rear tire, but this and the cr swinger bolt are the same diameter as the 400ex bolt they are just shorter then a EX swinger bolt.

Im going with 18in rear tires, zuma knobby scooter tires for the front, lower sitting shocks that are more suited for speed then jumping, under 225lbs total weight, 450r swinger, +4 rear axle, wider offset front rims "not to drastic".
Should be a fun ride when its done :devil:
My only questions are.
Is it better to go with a front sproket for the cr motor that uses the stock 420 chain and go with a custom 420 rear sproket for the 400e?
Or is it best to go with a 520 custom front sproket that fits the cr motor for the heavier duty chain?
Do I even need the heavier chain?
It is possible to run the 520 on the 420 sproket, but you know how thats gonna end up at some point.
