About 4 months ago, I purchased a 1987 BIG REED LT500R with a brand spankin' newly re-done top end and crank. I've taken the quad completely apart all the way to the last nut and bolt and I'm now in the process of re-assembling, restoring and upgrading evey single thing on that machine. Frame and tons of other parts are already powdered. Tyler Renner built a set of +2-+1 A-arms as well as a +4 swinger which accepts an eccentric (Honda style) LSR carrier, axle nuts are billet aluminum by Durablue. All hubs have been upgraded to the more common 4/144 fronts and 4/110 rears from an LT-Z400. A-arms and swinger as well as many other items are already triple-chromed and assembled. A complete set of Series #3 Elkas Legacy "Pluses" are on, as well as Durablue rear extended wheel hubs are also on. All new, rebuilt and/or very well cleaned parts are on. All hardware is either new and/or cleaned and a new harness by STB has been installed as well. A GPI all-aluminum radiator will cool this Monster and the Coolant will flow through new silicone hoses custom-made and obtained from Roose Motorsports in the UK. The powerplant is being custom-built, ported and timed by Rob Selvy in Fontana, California; Selvy is also performing the cylinder stud reinforcement modification, the O-ring, machine work and squish band adjustments to a Duncan Powerhead with a 53cc dome, which will eventually top the motor. She'll be breathing through a Rob Selvy-modified 44mm Mukuni and Mike Steiner is building an all-aluminum intake manifold to match the 44mm carb, which then will "sandwich" a set of VForce 4 reeds, Mike Steiner is also building an all-aluminum air box eliminator plenum that will hold a huge K&N air filter behind the Mikuni. All spent gases will then be pulled and released through super fat top-end pipe built on the bike by Kenny Roberts and the Sunoco Supreme 112 octane fuel will be ignited by a Nology PFC 03-S 45K volt coil...I honestly can't wait to destroy the arch on my right foot when I crank over this Blue and White BEAST for the first time...😲🥴🤣
