Looks killer! I saw a LT250 with a GSXR 650 motor in it for $400 that didnt start... now I'm really thinking that I should of picked that up.

Aarona what was that other LT500?

Can u ride the dunes with that missile? Be cool to see a massive wheelie in a huge bowl hearing that sweet engine sing.

That thing rips ... Yeah was that a Zilla next to you?

I have ridden the bike on long dune rides. To be more of a specific duner I would shorten the swing arm. Also need to soften up the suspension a bit. Isn't going to go through the whoops like a rocket ship that is for sure. Really comfortable to ride and the power is so smooth! I actually rode it on a bunch of tight and twisty tree shoots. Did fine, but just a little shorter would have made it perfect.

That is my buddy's bike and it is a another conversion. It has a Katana 1100 in it. Bikes are very similar. His was setup more as a drag bike in the video.

I will say that my favorite part about that weekend was the two of us making pass after pass on bikes that we built. I think we made atleast 15 passes back to back right here. Too much fun!!!

I will ook and see if I have a few pics of his bike...

I find myself watching that video every couple days!!! Can't wait to get back on it!!!

Here is a pic of the other Zilla with the Katana 1100 in it. This bike since the pics has had the muffler changed out and is running 25" stagered 14 pdls now...

Very nice. Really like those front rims!

Aarona40 · « **Reply #112 on:** January 12, 2014, 06:24:53 pm »

Got the JJ&A drag axle put in last weekend. Narrow drag axle!!! New rear tires and wheels show up tomorrow hopefully. Went with am 82 RO SLS 16pdl Extremes. Can't wait to give them a whirl!!!!

Aarona40 · « **Reply #113 on:** January 17, 2014, 11:50:48 pm »

Put the new rear tires and wheels on the bike. Thinking I might go to a 9" wide wheel instead of the 11".

Reworked the rear brake pedal. Has a more positvie feel than the other one. Few more things and it is ready for the season!!!!

LT250RWV · « **Reply #114 on:** January 18, 2014, 04:36:11 am »

Looks great

Dezsled · « **Reply #115 on:** January 18, 2014, 07:40:05 am »

Dang.... Hp guesstimate?

Aarona40 · « **Reply #116 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:17:15 am »

Before we pulled it out of the GSXR frame we tuned and made a handful of pulls on the dyno to get it just right. It made 127 HP at peak. I posted the dyno sheet in the beginning of the thread. Obviously less at the rear tire but what a hoot to RIDE!!!!!

Smoothest power I have ever ridden!!!

Aarona40 · « **Reply #117 on:** February 22, 2014, 12:31:25 pm »

Getting back to working on the bike. Going to be ordering a light weight front end here in the next few weeks hopefully. Looking to narrow the front end up about 2/3 inches each side and move them forward about 2/3. Need to play around a little with the rear wheel offset.

Might have a set of a arms and spindles up for sale soon...

Aarona40 · « **Reply #118 on:** May 02, 2014, 10:40:20 pm »

Just shy of 2 weeks to the Raptor Rally in Winchester Bay. Gonna be a blast!!

The duner 500 is basically ready to go. Just need to take care of a few small things nothing major. Gonna burn some fuel in it and have some fun.

The 1100 is going on a diet. Parts and pieces are arriving daily. Just like every trip it will be at the 11th hour to have it ready to load in the hauler!!! I was ahead of schedule by a long shot and got screwed by the guy that was going to build the Lt. weight front end and spindles. Turn around was suppesed to be 10 days. That was over 2 months ago! Promises, promises....
Bad part is he has the left side a arms and my chrome stock shaved spindle!!! DOH!!!! Now have to work on getting those parts back from him.

So ordered a front end and it should be here end of next week. Shocks are on the way to Shaw for some tuning. Should have those back about the same time from the sounds of it. Hopefully....

Was hoping to get a few other things done, but they will have to wait until after the trip. Will get some pics up hopefully as I start putting it back together.

My favorite thing so far that I have done though is the new seat. Lots of rework and it looks ****'n!!! I will post up some pics of the seat soon.

Here is the 1100 as it sits right now... Doesn't it just look sad!?

Aarona40 · « **Reply #119 on:** May 10, 2014, 06:57:20 am »

Parts are all here for the 1100. Swapped the rear axle again!? Went from the 26" to the 30". Tires swapped to a new set of 9x9. Was able to get more R.O. of the tire.

Need to powder coat the new front end set up. Get it bolted in and aligned. Put the shocks on the front which have been converted from the coil to a hillshooter (rear shock is next to convert). New Spindle mounts on. (when I get back the wheels will get podercoated black) Should be back on all fours Monday night and in the hauler ready to head south on Wednesday!!!!!!!

Will post some pics later of it tonight as I go through reassembly.

Only thing I am waiting on is a new silencer from Shearer for the duner. But not sure if he's gonna make the deadline!!!! Hope so!!! Don't need any tickets....

Aarona40 · « **Reply #120 on:** May 11, 2014, 07:49:15 am »

Switched from a 26" to a 30" JJ&A axle. Will change wheels when I get back to a different offset.

Tires are tick over 25" tall and about 10 1/2'' wide sidewall to sidewall. 16 paddle Extremes with @ 83" of R.O.

Aarona40 · « **Reply #121 on:** May 11, 2014, 08:51:25 am »

Ready to go less the new frontend. All the parts are her just need to powder coat them (brake lever too), install, align and load it!!!!!! Had Tim at Shaw redo the fronts. converted to a hillshooter and an inch shorter.

New spindle mounts on the bench ready to go. Will powder coat the wheels when I get back.

Sweet watching your project coming together

Aarona40 · « **Reply #123 on:** May 13, 2014, 06:01:20 pm »

Rolling and ready for the Hill!!!!!

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #124 on:** May 13, 2014, 07:59:36 pm »

Looks bad ass! One question why the 1100 engine and why not a gsxr1000 or R1 or zx10r or cbr1000rr motor?
