I want more aftermarket custom aluminum parts. Like an aluminum gas tank, radiator shroud, front bumper maybe a few different designs of them. What do you guys think? I just know that aftermarket parts for us is very minimal.
-
Since pretty much everything that can be done with the qr's, I think it's about time someone strapped a small jet jet engine on it. Any takers?
-
That's probably good advice. I'm just trying to think of stuff that we could in ,small numbers, that we could sell in the store. Without new ideas we are limited. These 30 year old machines have less and less aftermarket options as time goes on. If anybody else has an idea, please share it with us.
-
No one would make 20 without pre-orders for all 20. It isn't smart business. Like I said before, make your own template. I know a guy that can make them. He can even keep the drawings on files so anyone can order them and he will make them as orders come in.
-
Not just for me, but somebody who could make like 20 and have them listed in the store for sale. I personally want one. Who else would buy one?
-
I'm pretty sure he just wants someone else to make it for him. He posted a thread wanting people to design it.
-
go down to your local sheet metal place.
I have shop just down the street that builds parts for me all the time.
I take them drawings of what i need done.
-
Then get them made. It wouldn't be hard. I know a guy that would make them. You just need to send him some cardboard cut out of the templates and he can make shrouds. It is that easy.
-
Something that I've wanted to do to one of my zillas is to put an LTR or Raptor radiator down lower in my frame. Maybe that could be an idea for the LT-250 along with a custom aluminum scoop?
So somebody agrees with me, who else thinks we should have a shroud developed?
-
I think that aluminum shrouds will sell very well in our store. It is something new. If done with great care and great thought in the design, a person who made them could do quite well. It would be an easy installation too. It's been a while since we had a new aftermarket part, aside from the pipes being made. And the shroud , I think, would completely change the look from the sides and the front. Most other quads from the late 80's on have a shroud of some kind right? I think it's been a long time coming that this community develops a shroud for the 250's and if possible the 500! Has anybody seen a qr with an aluminum shroud on it before ?

Nope, I'm saying remove the center front plastic piece between the front fenders and if need be, the hood too. Then bolt the new air scoops in place of those middle plastic pieces you removed. Make brackets on the new radiator shroud to bolt up where the fenders mount to the frame. It wouldn't have to be big or goddy, just a shroud that flares outwards on the sides and level on the top and bottom with maybe a piece of aluminum running vertical or horizontal in the middle of the aluminum shroud. Does that make sense?
-
Anybody willing to make an aluminum radiator shroud to scoop up more air? If done well, I think it would look sick as heii. I would definitely pay for one for my 85' 250. If you think you can come up with a design and share it with us so we could see it, Ill try to be the first to buy. Hey sblt500 --> I know you are great with aluminum cause I got an air box you made. How about it? I'm going to keep mentioning this idea till someone says ... hey I could do that lol ;D
Are you talking about an aluminum replacement for the plastic piece in the front of the frame that scoops up air?

Certainly not something I could do, but I like the idea cause no one's done it to our's as far as we know. For $1500 I'd do it in a heart beat as long as a builder on here could do it for me.
What about an aluminum radiator shroud in place of the front plastic and hood? Make the air scoops flare out. Anybody got ideas for this?
-
That would be Evan.
Then there is Whitebred that also did it.

But before them, Kevin Gigot made EFI for a banshee . This one was in dirt wheels.

Here is a trx250r conversion

Here is a company that sell a EFI kit for single cylinder smaller 2-strokes. It has a 28mm TB which is way too much, but they offer a 34mm which might work on stockish 250r.
If you really want to put EFI on a lt250r or zilla, I would suggest buying the EFI system off a LT450R (as it has a 42mm TB ) and buying this ECU (http://pe-ltd.com/assets/pe3-sp000_datasheet_10-5-13.pdf). You then will need to an adapter and PE use to sell them for Lt450r. Next you will need a trigger wheel, easy to mod your flywheel for one. Then you just need to make sure you get everything mounts and hooked up then tuning is not that hard.

You might have seen this before, but someone has done it with a Banshee:

I've looked into doing EFI on the 500. I don't know of anyone that has put EFI on a 500. From my research, it would have cost me about $1500 to do EFI the right way without cheaping out on parts. That just was not worth it to me.
-
This raises the question then, if there are people who can efi a 2 stroke, then has anybody seen, heard of, somebody who has done it to our motors?
-
they have been doing efi on 2stroke sleds for well over 15 years now.. 2c
-
Most newer two strokes that are coming out are fuel injected. I also know Honda filed a patent for a new two stroke fuel injected engine in mid 2015.
-
Has anybody heard of a 2 stroke with E.F.I.?
-
If somebody had support from a factory sponsor,...is it possible to tackle the E.F.I. ? I'm just thinking the factory guru's could do a lot of mumbo jumbo math nobody gets. I bet an on-board fuel management system is required.
-
Metal Tech makes extended and long travel A-Arms for the 250,s...Just picked up a set months ago.
-
How about a quiet silencer for the NW guys like a cascade style
-
+2 arms? Round housing swingarms? Hinson or Barnett baskets? I search pretty much weekly for stuff just for the helluvit. I know how to use google and these items are pretty few and far between. I have all these things I listed on my bikes already but I don't mind having spare chassis parts. The last set of laegers arms I saw for sale I bought in a min. And the lonestars I saw went in a day, as well as the lonestar swingarm.
It's just a wish list of stuff you WISH was made or still made.
-
Hubs are easy to find for more rim selection. Any Z400 hub will fit.
Swing arms can easily be found. Search "Lt250R swing arm" on Google.
A arms can easily be found if you know how to use Google.
Clutch baskets can easily be found if you know how to use Google.
-
Yah I know these things have been made but there basically impossible to find.
-
Big bore cylinders, swingarms (round carrier) stock and extended lengths - link and no link, a arms +2 & long travel, more rim selections - hypers and other bead locks front and rear. Aftermarket clutch baskets. Better chain sliders for the swingarm (ones made for aftermaeket swingarms)
Now I know most of this stuff was produced in the past but it is not made anymore, making finding these items near impossible.
All those have been made at one point or another.
-
Metal tech does the swing arms for the Zilla at the very least, rear hubs are an easy swap.

Window in the clutch cover so you can see how crappy your oil is or how grooved your basket is. Would mainly be cos it would look cool lol!!
Have seen them on some 450s .
-
I don't know of any EFI system that has been put on a 250 or 500. I've looked into it a little bit while my brother was doing EFI on his Banshee years back. It would be very expensive and time consuming to do it right. For me, the payoff was no where near worth the time and money.
-
O.k. Then how about an Eli system for the 250? That would be nice. Many other quads have it. I've heard people on here talk about, how they wanted it...many times.
-
Skid plates are around. Six pack racks are around. I've never seen a larger gas tank before.
There have been aluminum carb boots. The ones I've seen were a limited run made by a member on here. I got one of them. The Boyesen Rad valve has an aluminum boot. The reed cage and boot are one piece though.

-
Aluminum boots between motor and carb, and the boot between the carb and the airbox for my 85'. Lastly for now, a rack that that bolts on the rear grab bar. Just big enough to hold a gallon gas jug, and a small cooler to hold a six pack of Mt. Dew.
-
I thought I'd start a thread where everybody can chime in on what they wish people made for the 85'-92 250R.
I wish somebody made skid plates from the front to the back...A arms, belly plate, swinger plate, and lastly larger gas tank for longer riding periods to fit my 85'
