Hey , you never will know unless you ask. What kind of shape is the rear shock in? You said it needs a rebuild... What's that cost?
-
The only bit of kit I have for a first gen are a couple sets of stock front shocks and a stock rear shock that needs a rebuild. About it unfortunately
-
Hey CHUCKIE,... what kind of goodies you got stashed for an 85 or an 86 model?
-
Not sure how many here are in the QR groups on Facebook so I decided to upload the videos of me draining the water out of ole Heinz to YouTube so I can share here and show that there really is no way to kill an old 2-banger!
This was probably 4-5 days after the water receded. It took me way longer to get her drained than I wanted but thankfully everything came out ok in the end
https://youtu.be/goM4Em3a1KA
It's a good thing I run a shop that specializes in mud bikes, so a flooded engine is a very common occurrence lol I ran her with the choke on for a little while to try and flood the cylinder with as much fresh fuel and oil as I could to try and wash as much residual water out of the crank, bearings and cylinder as possible. Note the silencer spiking water out. No, that's not a blown headgasket. That is what happens after a machine is 4 1/2 feet under water!!!
https://youtu.be/1lkxqtoEBmM
And here she is! Happy as can be! I cycled her up to around 120-130 a few times to get every little bit of water out as I possibly could. And maybe barked it out a few times, as well ;)

have you tested that hydraulic clutch slave out on any bikes?
if so how did it perform?
Our shop burned down before I had a chance to modify and install it on Heinz

Man, I'm really glad they worked out for ya.
-
Hey chuckle, those front shocks look familiar! How are they working for ya?
They are doing pretty well!!! I was surprised that they are actually fairly close to my weight and all with the Zilla arms on it. And they work PERFECT with the Zilla arms as well, since they are a hair longer than stock ya know?

Well the JP is home,,,,, but I got a TRX250R engine and pair of ported cylinders for free (as well as a stock 88 TRX chassis) so it'll be a Honda build now. I'll save me pennies up to get Carl to build me an LT chassis. Call it "Weapon C",,,,,,,,, eventually lmao.
I've made some progress on getting my fuel injection system together. Pretty much have it all figured out but am limited on the toy found between bills, travel, and buying engine parts for my 300ZX.
I decided to update the thread with some fresh pictures of Heinz. See if y'all can spot all the differences between the last update pictures lol

I haven't had much time to get out and ride with work and life going on; now with being the manager and head mechanic of a shop it's been soaking up every bit of my time. Massive suckage. I've had a new clutch cable sitting in my car for almost a month now and just haven't had time to install it :-/
-
It's still in the Portland/Gresham area
-
I am going there next month, where's it at I will pick it up and bring it to my house. Lol
-
Chuck you scored a jp frame. Nice.
Hell yea man! Just gotta get it 2000 miles to Louisiana so I can get it all finished up LOL
-
Chuck you scored a jp frame. Nice.

I just got back from Coo's Bay,,, Glamis will be next year! Lol

hurry up and bring it to sand dunes P*
-
Ok the initial plan is back on LOL Throwing the 265 into this chassis as soon as it gets to Louisiana after I move back
-
You putting a hond front end on it
It's a 92 JP Outlaw TRX based chassis. Provisions for a CR500 link but my swinger is a +2 no-link set up. Shock is a no-link built shock. It'll be TRX front to rear
-
Gonna be sweet!
-
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/22/05fe6f5e7d3d3ff74326adb8b73dc36b.jpg)
It's for sure going to be a hybrid. Still a 'Heinz' but not THE Heinz. Still gunna build another frame for Heinz 87 though
-
Make that frame a hybrid man! Nice acquisition!!
-
You putting a hond front end on it
-
Really happy you got the JP frame. (Y)
-
Heinz is more than well ;)
Let's just say it's going to handle a LOT better VERY soon

One more vote for brazing it... Less heat is better.
Also adjust the one mount so there is no stress/pressure on it so it won't be binding and fail again
Looking good chuckie (Y)
Ok I'll see about finding someone to braise it.
It's only got the one mount and I'm not sure how I'd go about moving it so it lined up. I've been meaning to try and make a pipe support thing but always forget to.
The solid welded flange was just a bad idea from PSI. Even their ATC and TRX pipes at the time were solid welded at the flange.
I'll figure something up
-

-
you can braze it chuck, thats a quick fix that will last for a few, and you can do it with a propane torch.
-
i think you want it tig welded, ny someone that knows what they are doing/.
Yeap. If I had access to a TIG machine I would weld it myself.
LTman
Yea it's a solid mount pipe. Doesn't have a flange/coupler/springs. And it won't line up with the top insulator either so after time and time of running her hard it just broke. This is will be the 2nd time I've had it welded back up. Think I'll have some triangulated supports added to it this time.
-
where did it beak at the flange
-

-
I liked it better before the fender trim up front. Did you get the pipe fixed?
I'll know of the cut fenders are staying or not after I ride it again lol that's why I have two sets of fronts.
And no not yet, gotta find someone that can weld something thin like a pipe. Then getting it rechromed
-

-
Got the new 13/36 sprockets on, the new chain, trimmed front fenders and the low profile rears on it today. Still gotta bust another link out the chain but I need a half link to put it back together so I didn't worry about it yet.

Still gotta put the 36 tooth rear sprocket and new 13 tooth front with new chain on it but she looks fuggin fiiinnneeeeee. Definitely gunna try and get it cleaned up and posed for a good picture.
-
Hopefully my YFZ hubs come in today....

By the way chuck your shock are triple rate .
-
Wow sounds like your all kinds of set up. NEVER what happens to me. she is looking good though Chuck good work +k2
Man it only comes from hoarding parts and buying crap no one else would. The 88 rolling chassis I stole the swinger out of sat for sale for almost 3 months before I bought it. Then it's been sitting at my uncles for about 9 months.
-

And on the next day, Chuckie said "Let there be a tight ass in this ride." And so there was.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/17/vybavate.jpg)
I even had an unused chain slider for it laying around

And this is why I enjoy being a hoarder

looks good, so how high is it in the front now.
About 15 1/2" from the ground to the bottom of the frame rail
-

Jeez..... Had to bust my cover did ya...
Lmao
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/15/4e5a4uda.jpg)
I've since re-angled the bars so they don't look so retarded.
Thanks for the kind words y'all!! I'm hoping to be able to ride ye olde beast again sometime this year
-
dammmmmmmmmmmmmm Chuck.. its about time for a hair cut.... lol
bike is looking good, so how about a pic from the front so you can show everyone how wide front tires stick out past the rears.
-
Looks great chuckie ... They used to use grooved Riken radial car tires up front for flat track back when. Nice bead locks P*
-
Looks really good CJ specially with them jerry rigged a arms! Lol jk man bike looks sick I love the Zilla hood on it will fit even better if you ever make it a hybrid!
-
Ok I didn't wanna post the pictures until I had AA completely paid off for the front shocks but here's how the bike sits with the new shocks, a-arms, rear tires/wheels, nose and rear shock
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/15/ybasy8ub.jpg)
I need to get some 20" MX fronts for it for sure. The 21's are HUGE compared to the 18's in the back.
But for now it's going together with the 20" rears so I'm not too worried about it. I'm gunna get a new chain and 13 tooth front sprocket so I can have a chain for the 36t / 18" combo and for the 42t / 20" combo. But yeap. That's about it.
But the swingarm is coming out the bike as soon as I can afford a pivot bearing kit. It NEEDS to be replaced. Gunna rob the 88 frames rear end for this one.

arite i told y'all i would post the full wiring harness picture as well as a cut down "race" harness picture... Dont kill me if it looks like crap but its the best i can do with my limited photoshop (read that "microsoft paint") skills
Hopefully these will actually help someone..
-
Oh yea i know i can heli-coil it,, i have the helicoils already. but I took the lazy way out and put a nut and bolt on it.
-
Your exhaust stud could be repaired easily in about 5 minutes. I had to repair a engine oil drain cover on the husky, worked like a charm
(http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j300/Dezsled/3491efc7ba6172a3ae64764fb0e7df5d.jpg)

Well,,,, got my carb back on yesterday after cleaning it real good (outside of it at least), got the airbox back on today, race cut my wiring harness (I have some tips for doing that I'll add in), got a stripped exhaust boss fixed up, pipe sealed up real good (hopefully) and a few other small things like getting the clutch perch and lever back on, cable rerouted, throttle spring clipped, etc.
heres the harness
(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l536/Cj15941/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps2ed536e1.jpg) (http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/Cj15941/media/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps2ed536e1.jpg.html)
basically i looked at the wiring diagram and unplugged everything that has to do with the stock kill switch and lights. My bike doesnt have a lighting coil on the stator but its got the wire for it (wtf?) and all the stock lighting wires were still there. i pulled all that off, regulator included.
The stripping down is the easy part but whats the tricky part is that all the black/white wires in the harness are grounds and everyone of them go to the lighting circuit. so when you are removing them you think you dont need them completely. YOU NEED AT LEAST ONE. For the black/white wire thats coming out the CDI box (the black thing on the left side of the frame). I thought i didint need a ground hooked to it but you do. you leave the yellow/black wire coming out the CDI open,, thats what your aftermarket (in my case tether) kill switch goes to. If you ground the red/black wire it kills the ignition, so you need a tether or kill switch thats a "normally open" style switch and then when its in the "off" position it grounds the "hot" wire. Hopefully this makes sense. I'm gunna make a copy of my wiring diagram so i can draw on it or edit it in paint or something for yall. so it's more clear lol
Ok so now heres the exhaust stud threads. The last couple times i changed out my pipe i noticed my exhaust studd was pulling out of the cylinder. well i pull it out today and get this sight
(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l536/Cj15941/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps8a3bc536.jpg) (http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/Cj15941/media/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps8a3bc536.jpg.html)
so i went and grabbed a bolt with the same size/pitch of threads and a matching nut
(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l536/Cj15941/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps1b70af77.jpg) (http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/Cj15941/media/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps1b70af77.jpg.html)
(note, the one i used was actually a little longer than this)
and did this
(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l536/Cj15941/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps6a5bf75d.jpg) (http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/Cj15941/media/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps6a5bf75d.jpg.html)
the bolt was able to thread in and got decently tight before i felt like it was going to slip the threads then i put the nut on and tightend it pretty good. I figure it should hold pretty well and the pipe does NOT move now lol
so my little lady is starting to look like a bike again!!
(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l536/Cj15941/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps056cbaf8.jpg) (http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/Cj15941/media/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps056cbaf8.jpg.html)
I'm going to wait untill alll the parts i ordered are in before posting pictures of them. Make yall wait to see those carbon fiber beadlocks ;D LOL
-
Dude that'd be freakin perfect!!!! I'll for sure be having to send y'all beverage money lmao
-
If only Moto told me he was waiting on my tie rods. I have a set of hubs Moto gave me that are widening ltz/ltr 4 lug hubs I think they widen like 1" on each side. They need a new stud on each hub but I'll send'm your way if you think you can use them.
-
Spent waayyyy too much money on this thing today.
But got a-arm bearings ordered, 36 and 38 tooth rear sprockets ordered, a set of HiPer carbon fiber double beadlock rims and 18" razr's ordered, and got All American paid some for the front shocks. On the 3rd I'll be able to send my rear shock away to be rebuilt amd Moto says the axle is ready to go when Bucky gets the tie rods to him! Then i'll just need a set of stock LTR rear hubs! She's slowly but surely getting there!!
-
I will probably get the springs blasted and repowdercoated later on.
Hopefully this 400EX will get sold and I'll have the cash to put into this thing.
-
Sweet chuckie! Glad to see this stuff go to good use. Are you going to paint them eventually?
-
I HAD to throw the Works on it today lol
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/11/7ady8e4e.jpg)
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/11/u4ypu5u7.jpg)
After everything's tightened up and I got the bushings made and crap it should be at about 14 1/2" to 14 3/4" of clearance in the front. How much actual travel, I have no idea. I'll have to figure out a way to measure that.
Heinz 87 is closer to being a rider again!!!
-
Oh ok! Don't know if she's gunna bind anywhere yet. I can't do crap without lower arm bearings/bushings. Gunna see if mom can x-reference them and find them and the seals for cheap through her work.
I wish I still had that site. I wouldn't mind buying it from him but I can't get ahold of him to ask. Maybe we need a proper write up for the arm swap here on this site?
-
yeah larger rotor, different placing of the caliaper, but if you have a binding problem you may need the 500 spindles.
thats all chuck. I thought i had all that posted back on mhr for you guys.
-
I believe rims hubs and calipers are the same, but the 500 I think has different rotors(could be wrong) along with spindles D?
-
Arite,,, well I am using my 250 spindles and 250 hubs, and 250 stock rims, and 250 stock brakes and everything stock 250 out on the end. The only things from a 500 on it are the a-arms and soon to be tie rods.
What's the 500 having larger spindles gotta do with anything? Huh? HUh? HUH?!!!!
-
you know that the 250 and 500 have different spindles, 500 are a bit larger.
-
Stock 250 spindles. I haven't tightened anything up yet cause I'm still waiting on lower a-arm bushings
-
What spindles are you using? Is it just me or is the distance between your upper and lower arm mount point smaller/shorter than the distance between your ball joints on your spindles?
-
I have some Works on the way from All American. These are those mystery front shocks that come out of a pile of shocks back in 98 lmao
-
you need zilla front shocks. the wider stance is gonna wear out the 250 ones.
-
Camber is likely still off because they're tried and true Q shims!! Lol
-
34 more then I need to spend at the moment. That can come later down the road.
LADYS AND GENTLMEN. THE HEINZ 87 Q-RACER IS 48" OUT SIDE TO OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT END. That's right! It's MOSTLY sitting on it's on weight in the front.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/07/u5ezenug.jpg)
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/07/u2e8e8u6.jpg)
I've got the camber shims in but the tires still look laid in at the bottom. Maybe it'll all come out right once stuff is tightened up. Still waiting on lower a-arm bushings. Gah darn.
Im thinking it should be done is the next month or so.
-
You should just get the rm465 intake its like 34 dollars.
-
Got the starter jets ordered for the PJ.
That's why I called Q was for some jetting advice.
Starting off with
50 pilot
162 main
1 1/2 turns out on the air screw
Clip in the middle position on the unknown needle.
Excited to get this carb on there finally. I'd very much like to run the 38, this engine REALLY needs it.
Oh and word of advice: When ordering jets, watch where you buy them from. I accidentally ordered the pilot from SHANG-FECKING-HAI! It'll be here around December time..... Oh well, the bikes not running anytime soon. And if it does I am fine with running the 34 until then lol.
-
Pulled my carb off today so I can give her a good scrub. It's effing GRODY
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/qe8e4aha.jpg)
Also found out that the airbox eliminator kit won't like to play with the rear shock
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/y3anu3ah.jpg)
And I pulled my reeds too so I could take a picture of the intake
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/uzy9ezyb.jpg)
And found them to have the tiniest opening ever..... So until I can get some VF3
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/yna6etug.jpg)
I bent them a little
Oh and I found out what jets are in the carb!
37.5 pilot
270 main
Exactly 2 1/2 turns out on the air screw
Then I gave ole Dr. Q a call to ask some questions about where I should start with the jetting for the PJ38 and got some really awesome advice and a base line to start from!
Oh here's the intake btw
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/y5ysajam.jpg)
But then I was left with the delimma of the 38 not fitting the stock boots!
But I put some muscle to it and....
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/e9u2upyr.jpg)
Probably not the best idea to do it this way but I'm gunna let it sit and see if they relax to the shape.
Well that's about it for this update.....
Oh wait, forgot I put the braided stainless line on between the front master and splitter
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/anyta3un.jpg)

Why you naming your bike after ketchup ?
1. heinz 57
Used to describe a person who is a mixed blood of many nationalities, also for a dog that is a mix of many breeds.
That guy has irish, italian, french, native american, and african in him, so he's a heinz 57
Not named after ketchup, it's a figure of speak that came from the ketchup lmao
So Heinz 87 sounds better?
-
87 for sure. Bike is coming along well.

Not a whole lot to update really....
Got my front hubs sand blasted yesterday. Gotta little blue left over that I got get off then I think I'm gunna do all the outer edges on a wire wheel and leave the inner parts the bead blasted finish. I dunno,,, Mated up with the zinc coated front disks I got from Tony last year I think they are gunna look good after doing some file work
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/05/uvegu4ap.jpg)
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/05/ne5a8are.jpg)
Also got in the hydraulic clutch assembly
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/05/evuresy2.jpg)
But it's gunna be a pain to retro fit it. I gotta make/mod either a clutch arm that will go to the end on the clutch rod,, or make a end for the clutch rod that will work with the stock clutch pull arm. Also, the fitting on the slave cylinder is TINY
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/05/uhygajy5.jpg)
So I gotta find something that's the same size, so I can get a longer hose made. This hose on it is BARELY long enough for my 110....
OH!! And I finished up the other a-arm, getting it cut down and filed smooth I mean. Slapped it up into the frame for mock up
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/05/epe5umuh.jpg)
After I found the other camber shim. Which it was in its bag, in the box it came in.... And I thought I had put it somewhere where I wouldn't lose it........ Jeez....
HUGE!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!! To 1986Quadracer, Patrick, he sent me the lower ball joint I needed!
I'm gunna have to get stickers made of everyones's username to put on this machine. Y'all are like sponsors for a special Olympics race team lmfao!!
Waiting on the shocks and spring to get here from All American, then gunna instantly send the rear shock to Mr. George over at Suspension 101 to get some magic done.
But that's ALL banking on if Ol Ugly sells....
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/05/sagudeju.jpg)
Speaking of stickers:
Not only do I need usernames made into stickers, but either a large Heinz 57 or Heinz 87 as a name badge sticker.
What sounds better: Heinz 57 or Heinz 87?
-
So I got a potential new owner for the 400EX coming by tomorrow. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that ole boy buys Ol Ugly!
If he does I'll be able to get the PVL ignition from Chris for Heinz 57 (gotta thank Chevy for the name!!! ). Then I'll need to get some other things to mount it an all but it'll get around sooner or later haha.
She's getting there!!
-
Buck: great to see the pay it forward. Enjoyed your build thread as well.
Cj. Get er done.
-
To clarify I'm sending him tie rods with both ends on them.
I feckin swear I typed tie rods at first.... I'm losing my mind.

UPDATE TIME:
Got all the wheel bearings ordered today as well as the hydraulic clutch assembly. Gunna finish modding up the last a-arm today too and test fit it. A buddy from another forum is making me up some Delrin a-arm bushings so the lower arms will FINALLY be able to be installed completely.
Decided NOT to strip it to bare frame. Just getting it all back together so Chevyvetterzr10 and I can go hit up some local MX tracks with 250 and 500. Looking forward to riding with him!
All Anerican is hooking me up with the Works A-T Stealers dual rate front shocks and the blue rear spring that he's got for sale in his ad. The front shocks are a full inch longer than what I've got now and the rear spring seems to be about an inch shorter than stock. I know that some people are gunna be like 'why da fook do you want to sacrifice rear travel' blah blah blah. But I don't like how high the bike sits in the rear. As y'all should know I'm a trike guy and prefer to sit lower. It just feels more stable.
Buckeye is hooking me up with some zilla TIE RODS WITH BALLJOINTS on them. If they turn out bent or something I've got the other tie rods that Chevy dropped off to swap over too. Eventually I will go with some American Racing or American star (whatever it's called) tie rods with heim joints at the ends.
As it is I'm just trying to get it all back together and rideable lol. I gotta fix up the top exhaust stud threads in my cylinder cause they are stripped. I'm tempted to run a bolt up through the pipe into the cylinder and then put a nut on the backside of the bolt so it's got what's left of the threads AND a nut to hold it in place.
Also, I think my pipe **** again so that may need to be repaired (again) and I'll need to make me an isolated/hanger bracket thing to keep that from happening again.
I think that's about it.... Not sure....
Will update as things progress.

James lucky offered one for sale (dirt wheels mag advertiser)
-
it was on it when i got it buddy,,, i didnt even know they were an aftermarket piece until about 4 months ago when i got a repaired clutch cover lol
-
where did you get that clutch cable bracket from ,my tab has also broke off and i have been looking for one like that ?
thanks
-
Thanks yall!! She was super fun to rebuild. It was my first ever complete restobuild. It took 9 months after i finally got it home (it took a year to get it home! lol)
Hopefully this time around it wont take as long...
wait WHAT?! YUP!! Tearing it back down to a bare frame again. After a year and a half of beating on it its looking like total crap again. So i'm stripping her down and going back together with fresh paint, powder, and polish. all new bearings, new/mint swingarm (if i cant find an aftermarket one for a REAL good price). gunna see about upgrading brakes while im at it too. go with stainless braided lines,,,
GUYS!!!!! If you ever need your shop rebuilt,, CALL SUSPENSION 101!!!!! Mr. George is AWESOME!! He quoted me a $150-ish price today to rebuild my rear shock! And he said that he may not even charge me THAT much. Can not WAIT to get it sent to him!!
-
Nice work. That must have taken some time to do. (Y)
-
You brought that one back from the grave chuckie!!
-
Why no rebuild rear master?
-
well i got one lower a arm modded up. i was sick earlier this week so i havent started on the other lower. I still need to get bushings/bearings for the lower arms as well. 86 is sending me another good lower balljoint so the front will get squared away.
y'all are gunna flip a bit here in a few hours lmao
also knocked the rear end out of it and my bearings are in fact SHOT. and i managed to severely brain fart and threw my rear seals and bearings with seals in them in a bucket of Chem-Dip cleaner........ acid + rubber = SERIOUS FACEPALM MOMENT THE NEXT MORNING.. but yea. so I need: rear bearings, rear seals, rear axle, rear brake pads, replace rear caliper, rebuild rear master cylinder (oh wait, I CANT....) REPLACE rear master cylinder......
i need 1 of 4 front wheel bearings. the other 3 are still good and tight. gunna soak them in chem dip. for the front i need to: get ss lines, blast hubs, blast calipers, 1 "big" bearing, new seals (maybe), 2 a-arm bearing kits OR 4 arm bushings.

I know it would look better without the little tab thing hanging down and if I blended the fender into the hood better but I'm leaving that bit for incase I don't like the look or something I can switch back to the regular 250 hoods
-
Post some pictures of it mounted and I can get a better idea of what it'll look like. You two may be onto something here. It's very unique.

Nice,lookin good.

Lmao that's a HORRIBLE thread title! Someone give me a better title!
So I guess since I'm doing more and more to the 250 now I outa start a thread.
Back story:
The bike is an 87 LT250R that was raced on the lakes in michigan from 87 to 96/97. She blew a piston or sleeve at some point because there's shrapnel marks in the crank area,,,,,, it's got a mystery 88+ top end on it that's ported to hell and back,, and has a mutters stamp on the side but no one could I D it,,, yet. Rocking a PSI expansion chamber and old school DG can, TM34 carb. Anyway,, her last race the COMPLETE clutch assembly exploded. And for some reason it came down here to Louisiana an in 98 it ended up in my families shop for repairs. My uncle spent a week and a half picking bits of the basket, hub and outer pressure plate out of the bottom end. And it needed a bore but the guy who had it didn't want to bore it. And then he didn't want to pay so they kept the bike as payment. They rode it for a little whole then they were selling it to a cousins boyfriend. Well he rode the **** out of it for 3 months and never paid them so they got it back with the top end shot and the rear end bearings SHOT. So it got pushed into the woods for 13 years,,, until my great grandmaw died and my mom and I were up there passing through for the funeral. I'm in the woods taking pictures of the bike and my uncle Kipp goes 'You want that Suzuki?' WHAT?! YEA!!!!! So the next October I get the bike out the woods. 9 months later I've completely rebuilt it from the frame up in my bedroom (I'll throw some pics in here later on but I'm sure most of you remember it). It was my first "major" engine I had been in and I rebuilt it all,,, the only thing I had help with was fixing the stripped crank threads. I heli-coiled/epoxied the 2 stripped head stud holes. It's been a year and a half now and it's still running strong!!!! I'm real happy with it!!!!
Anyway,,,,
Right now I'm working on doing a Zilla a arm swap. And putting a zilla hood with the 2-piece maier plastics

A member here is hooking me up with a PVL once I got the $$$ and I plan to get an SCP pipe to compare to my PSI.
Things I NEED to do are: Replace bent 24 spline rear axle (I HAD 24 SPLINE 5-LUG REAR HUBS TOO. WTF.), rebuild rear shock, billet thrust washers, RM wrist pin bearing, find out jets to start with for the 38mm carb, replace mystery front shocks (uncles got it with struts), and replace TRASHED rear end bearings, plus replace front wheel bearings, and the top exhaust flange stud threads in my jug are stripped out (gotta heli coil it).
