Started a new project, Honda Trx plastic on a weapon x chassis with Liquid 150 engine. Ultimate pit bike. Shooting for a 200 lb machine. Been actually working on it for @ 2 weeks now, almost ready to do some welding.
-
Its coming along nicely. You gonna hit Unadilla with it?
-
Pretty cool.
-
Not sure if it will see any racing it for Danielle and she isn't in to racing her self. But there might be a kid or two around that wants to race it.
-
Awesome project Iceracer!
-
Looks great, subscribed
-
Weapon x frame?
Right on, great to see ! (Y)
-
Yup, original one was for a yellow and blue so It was fittingly named. They are all weapon X frames if I build them. This for my girl so I'll degisnate it X-23. They won't go in order.
As of now its front rails are spaced for a trx450 front end. But that don't mean its what it will end up with.
-
Looking forward to the color scheme of this one. Who's picking the colors?
-
She is its not my bike..........
-
Ready to do some welding.......
-
Looks good! Any tubing left over, say enough for a bumper?........... Lol
-
+k2
P* P* P*
-
Getting there:
-
It aint perfect but then again neither am I..... or its intended rider.
-
Carl i thiink you're gunna find yourself ripping on it more than you expect lmao
Looking good! Later on you'll be able to swap in a CR125 or something
-
CRF250f later on. If it was gonna get a two stroke I would of done it a lot different, could of been way more compact. Not happy with seat height at the moment. Gonna try a tank cover and maybe an aluminum tank.
-
Cool pics..
I like it. A lot
(Y)
-
First weigh in 213 lbs
-
Thats pretty impressive. Wish I had patience to do somethint like that. Cant wait to see it finshed.
-
That's looking fast sitting there
With out the front shocks bolted up what's holding the front suspension up?
-
i want one...
-
Coming along got the upper sub frame on so I can position plastics and start steering system, have to order a custom throttle cable to work with the thumb throttle. unless she like a twist grip that is, better ask.
any way here's the latest.
-
way cool,
-
Nice right side drive sprocket LOL
What axle are you using? Looks almost like a solid kart axle with split hubs?
-
HAd to work on a couple other projects back on this till its ridable now....
Anyone know what rear calipers work on the Suzuki 250? z400 ? Whats needed?
Chuckie it was a Kart axle, shitty setup, Kinda.
-
Well everything that you see is all welded at this point, hope to have it run on memorial day. may not be ride able but will be dam close.
-
Its looking good
-
Cool stuff Carl
-
She sits up all by her self now, just a couple mounts at this point and its done. Still undecided on radiator at this point, waiting on a price for a new custom one based on a trx450 but more suited to a smaller chassis.
-
Looks great. Be great to see it in action! (Y)
P*
-
Great build.
-
couple more, I need a Good heavy duty small box pan brake 24" would be big enough but need to be able to to handle 3/16 steel Any Ideas?
Still undecided on front bumper, going to have to decide tonight this is the one of the YFZ it lines up a little better than the Honda.
Front plastic all mounted and in position just have make a mount to pull in the mounts under the tank.
Front engine mounts, sometimes I suprise myself, I had to bend them in a vise with a torch and pliers, by eye by golly, amazed they lined up and are very symetrical, Ill never be able to repeat a set like this, hence a brake.
Radiator is the oem trx 450, production model will be a custom 1.5" shorter, but still have a Fan provision be here in about a week or so Literally on the slow boat from CHINA . Should be pretty sweet though.
-
Its looking good
-
Almost 11 " of ground clearance with these shocks and 10" of travel, have to see how top heavy it is as to where it will end up, ,I have a lot of latitude with the front shocks the rear I may have to build a different swing arm, It will work for the time being I can always do a linkage if I need to. We have a racer eager to get it in the woods, especially now his older brother has a 250 raptor and hes on the anemic 125 still. Not sure how much Danielle is going to get to ride it...
-
Pipe is built, had to lose the front section of the HMF CRF 150 can and shorten the oe head pipe some. I got a couple mandrel bent stainless pieces and here it is. Be out for its first ride tonight.
-
Testing tommoro. Almost all done just have to do nerfs bumper when it gets here and add the skiplate I made after I change the oil in in the morning
-
That came out sweet. There was a CRF150 hybrid at the Malta speedway race last weekend. Kid lapped the field twice
-
Kids name Jordan Hawk? What was it in?
-
Looks awsome Carl, another fine job!
-
Yeah it was Jordan. Think its a DRR chassis maybe? It was comical how fast it was compared to the rest of the field
-
Well this project is pretty much all wrapped up. Tested on Sunday with no major issue, lost one bolt....., except for needing a fan and Nerfbars all major fab work is done tested and working better than expected.
It weighs in at 240 lbs. Turns on a dime and sounds bad as hell when you start it.
Play the Happy song.......
Already looking for a crf250x engine for the next one. I would not hesitate to race a 250 version In a 450 class.
-
i want one...
That's a given.
Looks good Carl.
-
That is thing sweet. I would love to see the 250F motor in it.
