Toyota Echo transmission swap - Toyota Yaris Forums

the zr7-s is the gpz 750, same engine block, transmisssion etc, better forks and brakes, totaly different swingarm with mono shock, "tweaked" but same units, as far as i know it was an updated head off the original design but took some of the 550 "race" adjustments, i think the trans gearing was the same or similar...so much of it is swapable...oh and full CDI instead of points LOL

i grew up bikes i was groomed to ride moto cross before dad got deep into his cont buisness, hell mom rode desert enduro prego with me....on an elsinor..which i still have

the MB50 is a serious oddball...imo honda built a "scooter" that "thought" it was a bike LOL

maybe i should toss up a shot of my 96 z50..i modified it slightly and turned it into a "what if" honda had made an XR50 in the 80s...and it truely looks like a mini xr250..so it sits well with my 83xl600r and 84xr250r...i need a 83/84 350r to finish the set

that lil 50 above is zb50 forks too, and the tank belive it or not is 79 xl250s, seat is a tweaked z50 rear shock is CBR and the frame IS NOT raked, i stretched and then raised the neck tube via a second frame, i refused to rake it and make the handling worse, i just wanted it to sit right so the frame is basicly Z'd under the tank by about 3 inches or so..had to use 2 frames to get it right on top of building a crazy jig to hold it all at the right angles

swore id never ride street..met my wife and needed a cheeper way to get back n forth to canada.....and fell into that zr7..which made the ferry rides cheep too
