EllisEllis Harvey was at RS Fabrications workshop to take delivery of his Honda CR 85.

Having been totally rebuilt the CR 85 has been prepped to the highest standard.

” Ellis came down to the workshop to get fitted to the Honda. Having grown at least 150mm  since the start of the 2009 Season, the suspension was set up to accommodate his frame & build” said Russell. ” We have put a little more preload into the rear shock and move the front forks 10mm lower in the yokes for the optimum set-up”

Ellis fired up the Honda , warmed the bike up, and practiced a few starts, to get the feel of the clutch biting point.

“We are better prepared this season” said Shane, his Dad ” and we have spares for the Honda that we didn’t have in 2009. Also, Ellis has really grown into the CR 85 over the last year and tomorrow [7/3/10] is the 1st race of the 2010 Championship”.

Watch this space for updates on how Ellis gets on riding for Banbury Motocross Club in the 2010 Schoolboy Summer Championship.

RS Fabrications will be 100% behind Ellis to give him the tools to do the job, and for a talented rider like Ellis, this is what is required. When you have a factory rider that wants to run up front, anything less than 100% will not make the grade!!
