Does anyone out there remember how much fork oil goes in the 1980 Honda CR125? Clymer says 287 cc but that feels to soft and I heard it top out. Thanx: Partaw

Paul, I like the scooters you're building. Can I get one in Kawasaki green?
WooT Comment by WooT on January 17, 2009 at 12:04pm
Paul
Not sure how the cost is these days. You might want to research stereolithograhy and investment casting.

Thanks Danny,
If you could get me the contact info and I'll pass it on. My email is
paul@hammerheadoffroad.com

I remember JR quoting me about $15K for the tooling to make a CR intake manifold like the 76 & later. How did they retail them in the 70's for about $20?

The cost is about half to do it in Taiwan but we can get it done in China now for almost half of Taiwan with decent quality contol now.
Here's a pic of the scooter we just commisioned that I tried to get our Taiwanese factory to do for years but they estimated the start up cost in the 350-400K range !

Paul, I work with a small tool & die shop who does outstanding work and is usually much cheaper then most shops. The also do injection molding, but not metal castings. There's another small foundry in the area that I could check with about castings. As you probably already know, it's the tooling that costs.
Paul Burnett Comment by Paul Burnett on January 16, 2009 at 11:42am
Is JR's old shop in business? I have a friend that wants to make some MC related repop's of plastic,rubber and some metal castings and doesn't want to do it off shore.
Does anyone else have the tool & die,injection and casting contacts for small runs, don't really know the qty.

Paul, I agree all three would have done quite well in the Nationals, but as you well know it's a whole different world out there trying to run the Nationals and the comfort of running at a local level. It would have been interesting, and the recor...
