Finished installing my freshly rebuilt and revalved shocks:

Also you can see my new LSR Anti-Vibe +1 +1 stem on there.... another pic of the stem:

When I rebuilt my Zilla 5 years ago (wow that long already), I used a Stainless Steel bolt/nut set. The first area I had an issue with was a finger tight tank bolt that galled and tore out the nut to mount the front of the gas tank to the frame. Well I've been using a bolt and nut in that area ever since. I have been sick and tired of getting a wrench to the nut when R&Ring the tank.

Some of my other quads use a slide in front with bolts at the rear of the gas tank mounting method. I modified my stock tank to do the same. Here is a zoomed picture from above where you can see the left side in place.

I'll probably add several pictures in my build thread showing the areas I modified.

Looks good Rogue I gave up on mine a few months back and sold it to build up an R. 363 Sphinx motor built by Hybrid Engineering pipe built by Matt Shearer 40mm billet Smartcarb knock on wood no issues yet.

I sat on mine and made engine noises. Been in the rebuild process for a year now. Funds are tough to come by

Rogue1970 · « **Reply #29 on:** September 21, 2015, 10:16:03 pm »

Cool Skeans1. Thought about building up a TRX also..... but, just bought a sand rail that needs some work.

Zillicious, yep totally understand the funds thing. I had saved up and sold off some toys when I built mine in 2010. Now its just a little here and there.

Well spent a little time tonight on the Zilla. Got my mounting hardware from LSR and got the bars and hardware bolted on for fitment.

I like how that setup looks. One of these days, I'll do something similar to one of my Quadracers.

Rogue1970 · « **Reply #31 on:** September 22, 2015, 07:07:05 pm »

Thanks. Now I just have to figure out a good looking mount for the Vapor computer and the LED light.

Rogue1970 · « **Reply #32 on:** September 24, 2015, 01:56:56 am »

Not too much tonight. Hooked up and ran the clutch and throttle cables. Have a new hood that I am modifying, so I don't have to twist it when R&Ring the damn thing. I'll see how it works when I get some more parts delivered.

Yea but at least you get to watch a tired LT500r become a beast.

I blew a lot of money back in the day about the time i bought my zilla. My zilla is all i have to show for it all and im glad i have it.

Ywnmn · « **Reply #39 on:** December 11, 2015, 03:20:33 pm »

It's definitely worth it. LOL

Rossy · « **Reply #41 on:** February 07, 2016, 12:45:44 am »

Stared at it, contemplated tearing it down again to fix up some faults. Decided not to and called it a day.

Gillio · « **Reply #42 on:** February 07, 2016, 11:09:50 am »

How did you get lucky enough to score a pair of RIS Designs foot pegs? Seems like that guy burned a few guys on their dealings with that business.

Big Wrench · « **Reply #46 on:** February 23, 2016, 01:51:49 am »

I have had them for a while I bought em for my 87 zilla. But I ended just using my stock ones on that one because I kept hitting the top of my foot on the pegs when I kicked it over. Honestly I think they are a crappy design the bolt for the right peg has to be so damned long for it to mount id be scared to death to hit any major jumps with them and it not break off.
there is a company in Georgia that makes some pretty nice pegs for atc 250r,s and trx 250r,s called unhinged atv I bought a set of their pegs for my 87 250r and they are badass they offer them in steel and stainless I talked with them a while back about the possibility of making some for the lt 500,s since nobody else does and apparently they took my advice because they offer them on their website and on their e-bay store now here is a link if you happen to be interested http://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-1990-Suzuki-LT500R-Quadzilla-Foot-Pegs-with-Integrated-Kick-Ups-UnhingedATV-/301678815549?hash=item463d75693d:g:nbQAAOSwgQ9Vlrrm&vxp=mtr

Q2W · « **Reply #47 on:** February 23, 2016, 07:38:28 am »

those are similar to my roll design ones. look a bit narrower though. Nice find!

Glamisrider · « **Reply #48 on:** February 23, 2016, 11:00:05 am »

Or you can just buy the modified roll design pegs for the 500 I have for sale.
