Third Generation

Here you can see just how well the Fischer Third Generation frame allows its chosen parts to line up with one another. The 450R front plastic compliments the TRX90 tank and rear plastic. The 450R radiator lines up perfect. Even the stock CRF kick starter bolts up with no need for modification of any kind. The finished product looks more OEM than aftermarket. Nice work Bud Fischer!

"I really took my time and made sure we hit a home run with this one," says Fischer. His goal was to build a chassis capable of winning championships, yet utilize parts readily available from the Honda.

Bud's First Generation frames used parts from Honda's 250X. His Second Generation frames used 250R parts, which are now hard to find and expensive. For his Third Generation of frame, Bud uses parts that are competitively priced and readily available from three machines; the 450R, TRX90 and CRF150.

Only the seat, rear fenders and gas tank are used from the TRX90. All the rest of the parts needed to make this machine race worthy are either CRF 150 bike or 450R quad. "I spent over three weeks just making the plastic, radiator and tank work together so each respective stock part would simple bolt into place with no modification whatsoever," boasts Fischer. The crafty frame design allows a factory-like look and feel yet lets its owner use proven reliable parts that are readily available without the need to modify them to fit. Now that's impressive!

Its 450R front plastic grafts perfectly with the new-style TRX90 tank and seat. All the while the TRX90 rear plastic meets up with the front like they were planned to do so. What's more the plastic and tank contour perfectly with the 450R radiator. Even the stock 450R front bumper and rear grab will bolt on the Fischer frame. Take a look at the pictures to better realize the effort that went into making this machine look like it just rolled off the line at Honda.

Bud strived to make sure the sprockets lined up perfectly and the swingarm pivot was in line with the countershaft sprocket. He succeeded and the Fischer CRF150 performs flawlessly because of his careful attention to every detail.		Here Fischer’s Round Tube MX Swingarm is seen with the CRF Pro Linkage package and a Custom Axis rear shock. All totaled you'll get 12 inches of travel and an extremely plush ride.

Media Allstar rider, DJ Spurling proved just how tough Fischer built minis are by finishing third overall in the extremely competitive WPSA Powersports Tour Supermini class. The quad he rode (pictured here) was also used to win championships for Nathan Dallas over five years ago.

When the machine is complete the Fischer CRF150 ends up being a tad bit bigger than a TRX 90, (an inch and half taller at the seat to be exact), but the machine compares more to a highly modified Pro level 450R than even the trickest TRX90 in the country.

We're testing the first unit to roll out of the Fischer Cycle Racing shot. Typically the first of anything usually has bugs to report, but not if you've made as many frames and components as Bud Fischer has. This specific machine was designed and built for Trafford, PA's Glenn Massung after Glenn wanted to race the WPSA Series and take full advantage of their 150cc fourstroke allowance. Unfortunately for Glenn a broke wrist changes his plans for this year, but he plans to be a front runner in next year's series. "Bud is amazing," says 14 year old Glenn. "I didn't think it would end up this good. It hooks up and handles amazingly and looks awesome too. I'm thrilled to have the first one!"

Trafford, PA's Glenn Massung is the happy owner of Bud's best Fischer Cycle Racing product to date, the new Fischer CRF150 mini.
