Got another part checked off the list today. This thing is a bonafide rock crusher!

The plastic looks pretty darn immaculate. Only a few lucky ones have those anymore. Keep up the great work it looks freakin awesome.

They are a blessing and a curse....too risky to run so I'm gonna buy some White Maiers and get a set of 86 graphics. I broke a chain on my YZ and cracked my case which cost $425 for the left side only. Curious about a UPP case saver so I bought one. I can confirm that these things are pure BEEF!!!! Not good for photo shoots but top notch for down and dirty woods riding. This may make it's way onto my next build since this bike won't see a lot of mud.

Nice!! Do you know what shock length that Roll swingarm uses?

I can't remember but I'll measure it today after work. I bought the shock from the same guy to eliminate any guessing down the road. He had a pair of Roll frames but wouldn't even consider offers....

That makes life easier getting it with the swinger! I cant remember what mine is on the Houser,17.5" I think, and Laegers are 18.5? Whatever it is theres a 1" difference, I was just curious what a Roll would be.

How many R's you got man, and the build looks great man. You figure anything out with the white fullbores yet. And if you want to anodize the wheels let me know and I will talk to my buddy and see what it mite cost to do them for you just let me know what color you want to go with.

Finally got around to measuring it today - shock is 15.5" center to center using the standard OEM mounting location.

Cool man just let me know on the white ones then.

That makes sense on the rear shock length, mine is 17" but the upper shock mount is probly around 1.5" higher than my stock frames mount

I'd really like to switch the entire rear end over to a trx450. Parts are so much cheaper not to mention on every corner....

05450r · « **Reply #42 on:** December 02, 2013, 12:50:43 AM »

That was my plan for the Houser..lol

Some body just had 450r parts for sale on trx250r owners for life on facebook. Swinger and other rear end parts.

This has been a fun build and I've learned a lot along the way. Looks like the data base glitch wiped out the progress pictures! Here is how she sits today. I didn't like the 3 piece brake lines so I ordered a dual setup. Decided to save some money and stick with the original wheels. They aren't perfect but they are free...sort of. I'm probably going to pull the radiator shrouds and have them powder coated black. Gonna have the same PC applied to the OEM front bumper skid. Don't like the look of the grey 400EX hubs so I'll swap them out for some Red R hubs.

Odds and ends...but getting darn close.
