Sounds like my kind of group. lol. I'm keeping my frame and plan on building it down the road, the motor in it now is a small reed motor that I'll use for the hybrid build, I have the original big reed motor for the frame. Kinda of cheating with this build, the 250R frame came from a member here that he built with the Zilla motor so all the work is done on the frame.

Yeah for big hp builds they are the better choice, but my small reed has been ported by Jerry Hall and it surprises a lot of people.

I did buy Jeremy's frame. A while back Arlan was talking about getting rid of all his old templates he hasn't used in a long time but I don't know if he did or not. I did talk to him a couple of months ago and he is on board with building my pipe for the hybrid.

Dropping it off in a couple of weeks to get the pipe built. Meanwhile a lot of cleaning and painting of parts.

Clearance issue, yes, problem ,no. I will have to heat and reform the tank in a small spot for the spark plug. Or I could run the KTM short plug, but I will most likely reshape the tank.

Thanks. I'm actually done with all the fabrication, all my parts are bought just waiting on my Works shocks so I can get it into a roller then bring it to Arlan to get the exhaust built. Once it's a roller I'll snap a couple of pics before sending it to Arlan.

Well i have both a cr500 dirt bike and a cr500 quad and the Zilla will embarass the quad build everytime, which in all fairness, the pipe is holding it back. Not sure about the dirt bike.

Yeah, I spent some time on it yesterday and finished up a bunch of little loose ends. I will get my cylinder head, with the decomp mod, back next week then Arlan wants me to bring it in to him on the first. Once I get it back swap out the dirt tires for paddles, because it will never see dirt as long as I have it, and wait for a break in the weather to try it out.

Nice build!

Thanks. I had a hard time making the cut in the fender for the kick starter, because the plastics are so damn nice, but it had to be done. The other side will need some trimming for the pipe to clear as well. Decided to go with the raw finish on the pipe, no chrome, I just like the look of the raw pipe. Hopefully I can keep it looking good for a long time. Nothing but waiting left now, Arlan expects it to be about a month before I get back. I'll post pics when I get it back, then a video after the first trip. Can't wait!

Gun oil or atf work great when I had my Shearer make sure you coat after riding for a day on the coast. Is it going to be the zuki left side pipe or a trx right hand style?

Thanks for the tip. The pipe will come out the left side.

Ok! You'll have to give us a ride report with the Seat-of-the-Pants Dyno results!

Post by: Hawaiiysr on August 31, 2017, 10:23:17 PM: Richard and his wife are awesome people! It was a pleasure to meet them and had a blast riding with them in the dunes. Richard AKA Mr. 500 did a great job on his TRXzilla hybrid. This is one of the many R's that i was looking forward to seeing. i dont think Mr. 500 will mind me sharing some of the pics i took of his rides. The execution of this build is top notch. I have a personal soft spot for this R because we share some of the parts from the original build by MaxxH20. Richard sure did beat me to the finish line. My build is moving at a snails pace if that. Make sure you blow up the pictures of the LED pipe. its a WORK of art not a Wurk of someone elses labor claiming to be your own. On with the pics!

Thanks Josh. It certainly was a pleasure meeting you and getting to ride with you as well. When you get your build done I would love to see it, Corinna and I are always looking for an excuse to travel and we have not made it over to Hawaii yet. I did chat with Maxxh20 recently, he is back in Oregon. Apologies to you guys for the roost.
