2007 CRF230F Weight Loss Program

[Swiss]

So you get the 250R and then start taking weight off of it? Where does it end? HA!HA! Same with the Smoker, a pound here and an ounce there!

If anyone wants to purchase the 230, I have decided to sell it. $2,500.00.

And thanks for the thread as it provided lots of information on weight reduction, some of which I used on my XR200 project.

All the photobucket pictures no longer show up on this thread.

Really cool how you lightened up the bike.

Come on Guys, it can't be that hard getting under 200lbs... 

 

Borile evidently did it with a Chinese 230cc electric start engine!  Which would be the equivalent to the CRF230 Honda.  Of course his was using more street oriented suspension, but the CR85/CRF150r forks would be as light as the 40mm units that he used.  Same for the disk brakes off the small Hondas...

Check out the offroad model with aluminum uni-body tank/frame in the photos.  Looks like maybe a bigger 250cc engine in that one.

Did anyone ever copy all of these photos or does anyone have a way to go back and retrieve them? This thread is awesome, but sucks without the reference pictures.

Pictures are gone. So long ago.

Pictures are gone. So long ago.

Perhaps someone had saved them and could repost them? Never know...
