Title: Ct duner project
Post by: mandom250r on April 15, 2015, 12:45:49 AM: This project will have to be done in 2 weeks because i have a buddy coming in from out of town and i dont have anything for him to ride and i find that unacceptable. I will build it with whatever parts i have and then go back and redo the suspension and a-arms once he leaves. Here is what i got done today.
Got my LSR back from being powdered last week.

Post by: mandom250r on April 15, 2015, 12:55:49 AM: I need to find a allen head bolt for the front engine mount since you cant fit a socket in there so everything is hand tight for now.

Post by: broken1 on April 15, 2015, 11:17:41 AM: Looking really good so far. Thats a beautiful blue you went with.
Title: Ct duner project
Post by: mandom250r on April 15, 2015, 12:24:33 PM: lol Thanks guys my buddy is one of my best friends. Hes an old army buddy that i havent seen in 4 years.

That baby blue color took months to decide. Engine has about 4 hours on it so there is no way im taking it apart just to change the color on the cases.

As far as the fenders, i have my mind set on the 89 look but will dress it up with the other fenders and seat combos i have to get your guys opinions.
Title: Ct duner project
Post by: JesseA420 on April 15, 2015, 07:36:22 PM: i think 89 style would looks sweet with cranked up gear 89 style decals with the decals lettering colored to match the frame

Your right but that also means that engine has to stay paired with that frame forever now lol
Title: Ct duner project
Post by: mandom250r on April 16, 2015, 01:29:45 AM: some progress i got done today. Went shopping for a bolt for the front engine mount and tightened all motor mounts. This will be the first time i will run a head stay. Installed a Works rear shock i had. Planned on rebuilding and powdering the spring baby blue also but then decided to upgrade to some new elkas later. I will use this now and when my buddy leaves i will replace with elkas. (http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z157/armandomoreno/DSC01627.jpg)

Also put the lower frame rub block on and started on the linkage. (http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z157/armandomoreno/DSC01628.jpg) Will need to do a little grinding on the lower shock clevis because the dogbone wont fit.

I understand those to be a by-product of the casting process. I've had them ground down on PRO-X cylinders before.

Title: Ct duner project
Post by: mandom250r on April 23, 2015, 02:09:57 AM: On friday i had put the swingarm on so naturally i wanted to make it a complete roller so i stayed up all night monday wrenching. This is what i felt like with that damn lock ring. My fault for not having some good tools but it got me so frustrated it made me move on to other parts of the bike.

Post by: mandom250r on April 23, 2015, 02:26:31 AM: I did all this monday night. Motor has a 200w ricky stator and flywheel so i just went with a OEM harness to make it easier. Later i will install the CR ignition.

Post by: mandom250r on April 25, 2015, 11:35:36 AM: Thanks guys, kevin i actually built it in 7 days lol. It could of been done in 5 but i had to work last weekend. Im going to the dunes today for the first time, ill make sure and take some good pics.
Red88 ive always ran 14-38 with a +7 extended swingarm and 22/11/8 10 paddle extremes so i think a 14-37 with stock swingarm and 21/11/8 8 paddles extremes will be perfect.
Title: Ct duner project
Post by: red88r on April 25, 2015, 11:01:01 PM: I was not questioning your gearing choice if it came across that way. We run 15/36 on our 340pv and it works well on most tracks. I never clocked it on radar though.

Thats awesome mando! I'm sure you both loved every minute of it. I can't wait to take my boy riding in a couple years.
oh yea ive been waiting for this moment for years. I dont even know who was more excited me or him lol. When we got home friday night he was even riding his quad inside the garage. He would ride forward 10 feet, get off and pull it back and then ride forward again lol. He tried to get every inch of riding space he could in there.

Whenever you get your chance kevin make sure and take a bunch of pics and video. It was an epic weekend for me. Wish i had a gopro but i just put my sis in the back while she recorded lol. Works out the same, cant even tell the difference lol

oh cool they look like they started off at a good home because theyre still in good condition. Thank you sir for recycling your parts lol. I still cant decide if i want just the tops or all chrome. I guess ill have to see how much the tops are going to be first.

Thanks craig back at ya. You have some incredible toys yourself. Its the greatest feeling in the world when your little one asks you to go ride the first time. From there on its weird if he doesnt want to go lol.

This weekend i didnt have my boy so i go to play with the bigger boys at the dunes. I didnt feel comfortable racing yet so i asked one of my buddys. Found out im geared too high so now that the chain stretched hopefully i can slip a 39T sprocket on. This is the only pic i have though.

Yea a buddy rolled over because of it. Nothing happened to the bike n who cares about him. The good thing is that he rolled as he was crawling down a rutted dune and quad had a soft landing.

Im thinking of getting some of these but not sure if they fit roll arms http://www.ebay.com/itm/381449224633?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
