    Starting the CR60 / zinger project.

    Well I bought a cr60 engine, frame, swinger, fork's, tripples. I have an extra Zinger frame, tank, plastic. I will start combining the 2 frame's tomorrow. I will use the front pivot section of the cr swinger. I will use a 86 200x rear swingarm section, axle carrier, & axle. I hope all goes well, but there Is alway's something that won't go according to plan. I will post up pic's as I make progress.

    Isn't an X axle going to be kinda wide? Sounds like it'll be a BA little rig when it's done.

    Keep us updated on this one. I'm very interested to see the outcome. I want to do a similar project with a cr80 engine.

    I think the 200x axle will be perfect. It's narrower than a 250r axle & quite a bit smaller In diameter & lighter. I might have to add some weight to the front end to make It fly flat, but what ever It take's.

    Raffa, I really want disc rear brakes & the Honda style chain adjustment.

    The 200x actually doesnt have the concentric chain adjuster like most Hondas. But what you can do is run a 200x axle in an 83-84 250R carrier (which is what I did on my 500R) then you've got the small narrow axle and a real chain adjustment system and not that sliding swingarm deal the 200x uses.

    The '86 200x does use the concentric adjuster.

    Jason, Are you just going to cut and widen the CR triples?

    Billy, I will be useing a 86 200x rear swingarm section on the cr60. On another thread I'm trying to find out about a bigger sprocket for the 500 with a 85 200x axle In It.

    Thefox, Yes I was gunna widen the stock CR tripples, but I ran Into a slight problem. With the zinger tank & top frame section on the Cr frame the steering stem will be to low. I don't think the stock cr fork's will give me enough ground clearance (to short). So I might modifi some 200x tripples & use the longer fork's not quite sure yet. I need to sit everything on & make sure It all clear's. I will have to bend the pipe down a little to clear the zinger tank. So far It has'nt been real bad. I will post up more pic's later.

    Here are a few pic's of my progress. Got the top section put on so the tank fit's, also had to shorten the pipe about 1/2" so It will clear the tank. Welded the subframe on, so the plastic will fit. I will work on the swinger soon. so I can figure out my ride height. Then I can set the rake & figure out what I'll do for the tripple's. I just sat the cr fork's on to see how they would look. It wont sit that high so they look kinda goofy.
