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.
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!
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.
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.
That is thing sweet. I would love to see the 250F motor in it.
