- I thought that mid 2000's honda plastics would just bolt on a 1990's xr 70, not at all true. The front half bolted up but the back of the bike needed custom brackets to make everything bolt up. Thanks for watching.

Whew I thought you painted over the factory frame stickers and badges for a second. Very glad that's not the case. Nice work
Cool video I want to do a modern look on mine to match my CRF 230f my XR70r is a 1999 don't have the original gas tank but I have a XR80 gas tank that seems to kind of fits but I'm wanting to go a different route
Nice...but I actually like the old school look better (I did buy a 2001 one though!)
If you don't want to make the brackets, you can just bend the rear metal bars in about 1/2 inch on each side. I used a 3 lb mini sledge hammer. I had to hit it pretty hard several times on both sides to get the bars close enough together to attach the rear fender. The rest of the plastics fit with a little coaxing. Some people just use a heat gun to soften the plastics enough to stretch the rear fender to fit the holes.
That's a great idea, Thank you.
Thats an amazing transformation, great job
Glad you liked it, thank you!
dude, thank you very much for this video ... I have the same xr70 as you ... that stock fuel tank is annoying, it's easy to leak. and I think to replace it with a set like your video, are there any obstacles to installing the tank and seats or only the back that needs a bracket?
Still need help?
I have a 2000 XR70R also a new gas tank that i ordered on accident so what year was the seat and plastics that you put on this build. My lil boy is dying to ride the bike and since i cant find the gas tank i need my next option is the route you chose.
I'm not totally sure I'm guessing they are close to 2008, I just ordered a cheap kit off of eBay for a crf70, thanks for commenting!
Nice video, it would have been good to see more of the custom brackets you made, but I think I have an good general idea. Do you have a link to plastics and everything you used? I’m have a hard time finding something.
I just used parts off eBay they were cheap plastics that you can find on eBay or amazon, thanks for commenting.
The Backyard Fabricator Thanks mate! I ended up doing this same thing.
I see u made 4 brackets, we’re did ur put the other 2 besides the rear fender
I have a 2003 XR70. Did you use CRF70 plastics? If yes, did you have to use a CRF70 gas tank and seat?
Yes you need a new tank and seat.
how much did all this cost? i have a 99 model,ive already bought front and rear wheels with disc brakes and put the big bore kit on too.i also wanna put upside down forks for a better look and ride..I love what youve done here but im curious about the cost..id also love to know exactly what year model parts you went with.. the backend of the 99 model is a good bit wider, so I'm sure I would have to change the fender because I would also like to go with the raised seat you chose to go with but i realize because of the width of the newer tank vs. the width of the rear fender it wouldnt work without modifying it-any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated! thanks so much,awesome video!
I believe it costed only like $200. The fender kit was $120, grips were $20, and the other bolts and parts were about $60. Then for the back fender I had to make some metal brackets to adapt the back fender bolt holes but other than that the front tank bolt holes lined up. The kit was for a 2008 Honda crf70. Thank you for the comment, Blake! Have a great day and good luck with your project!
@@thebackyardfabricator3419 thank you so much!
I got a 2000 xR 70r so I can do same but I need them spacer you used in rear for the plastic where can I get them? and I also know I need to change the seat and tank.
I had to make the spacer because it is custom, you will probably need to make spacers and brackets. Thanks for asking, let me know if you have any other questions.
Good video, where did you find the plastics? I have the same bike and I need new plastics.
I just found a cheap plastics kit on ebay for a crf70, Thanks for commenting, have a great day!
bonjour j'ai XR 70 année 1998 je voudrais savoir où que c'est vous avez eu les cache plastique merci
I get the two brackets for the rear fender but what were the other two brackets for?
The rear number plate bolts, thanks for asking!
@@thebackyardfabricator3419where?
Do you make and sell the brackets?
Did you make a bracket for the rear fender
Yes I did make one to hold the rear fender. They went from the old holes on the frame and extended up to the new ones.
@@thebackyardfabricator3419 if you’re willing, how much would you charge for a set of brackets? I’m getting ready to do a build on my 03 xr70. I want to update the look so bad. Thank you!
Can you share the exact paint you used for this project? Thanks!
Here is a link to the paint I used on the frame, Thank you for your question and good luck on your project!
