What motor is in it? 426?
Crf,stock bore and stroke,approx 1hr on build. Pretty much stock. I do have a few things gathered for the motor but it will be fairly simple. Working on pics now,stupid photobucket,or stupid iphone one of the two isnt allowing me me to copy image tags,and for some reason I dont get an attachment icon after the first post?. Maybe its operator error? I can email somebody pics if they could help me out trx450r@icloud.com I only have a quick few for now,I will start a build thread with more detailed pics,not doing a full teardown till late winter after our Monster Jam season is over. Just changing a few things.............
-
I been waitin Eric dang it
-
This will have to do for now till I figure out whats going on with photobucket and my stupid phone. 02' Houser Crf 450. No-link Elka with Houser swingarm,Pep zps fronts on Janssen ling travel arms,409ex spindles and brakes. 03' crf 450,complete new oem cyl,piston,head. Bone stock motor with Hinson steel clutch basket and Sparks Vortex adjustable cdi. Afco radiator with Glenn Innovations giant inline coolers. Dominator 2 axle and a bunch of other little things. Just got done installing Yfz calipers and Braking rotors. I will be selling the front end and possibly the rear shock,looking for an Axis no-link rear and a set of +3 Houser arms!

That thing looks great man, awesome find. I guess I'm gonna have to find me a laeger framed crf for my next build. I will have to start looking and saving for one.

Thank you Deuce! I seen those on Atvriders,and theres an Axis no link shock too!
-
John Glann makes some pretty kewl coolers! He even has'em for brake lines!
He does a 4 bearing conversion for front hubs, and a carrier that takes 4 bearings. I get about 3 years on his carriers. He just mods oem carriers.
He also makes a slider and a rear chain guide. I've ran tho ones on this bike for 5 years now...they just dont wear lol

Traxx Performance...did you buy this from a guy named Nate?
-
Nice find man! Never seems like nothing that nice around here.
-
Traxx Performance...did you buy this from a guy named Nate?
I think his name was Larry,if I remember right the owner of Traxx is his nephew.
Thanxs Red! I had intentions of making this a TT quad right away,but its ready to go play in the woods,I will have to trail ride it a couple times!
-
Taking it out on Saturday,doing some open land riding with the kids.I didn't get to ride it when I picked it up(too many people at the truck stop) but it would consistently fire up in 1-2 kicks. If you stabbed the throttle it would flat bog and die,roll into it and it wasn't to bad,but still way rich. Pulled the carb yesterday and the was NO main jet in it,yes I said NO main jet at all,LOL. Im sure whoever just overlooked it when the assembled/cleaned the carb last,but all I could do was laugh! I fattened up the pilot,threw in a main and adjusted the A/F along with a new plug and fresh air filter,she purrs like a kitten now! I will play around with the adjustable Vortex cdi as well. Clutch side cover has a small drip,which it looks like I will have to atleast unbolt and move the motor forward to access that. No big deal,I wanted to pull and lube the pivot bolt anyways. It will also allow me to double check what supposed to be a new clutch and steel Hinson basket. I want to find a "cleaner" way to solve the intake boot issues. Right now its using a yfz450 airbox and boot,which connects to a say 4" long slight curved cooper tube,then to carb. The airbox is slid all the way back,and honestly its alot better then some if the no-link airbox setups I have seen. Some have said the yfz boot should have enough clearance to connect straight to the carb but it really doesn't look like it. Normally I would just ditch the box and put an eliminator on it but I think it will see quite a bit of woods duty! If anybody has an idea Im all ears!
-
I would look into the YZ boot, I might have the air box you need design completed here real soon, ...shhh!... :tongue-new:
-
Lol,that sounds good Troy,I will for sure be interested in a box,possibly a tank too!!.. Do you know what years yz I should be looking for?
-
I think they are all the same, the yfz not yfz-r, that is. Yea just about finish with the box design, ordering 10 of them to start, they are made to use the yfz boot, works perfect on the hybrids. Dan has a similar one on his bike. I've got orders for 6 tanks so I'm going to be getting a run of those done as well.
-
Ah,yfz,thought you meant YZ,yfz is what I got now but they used a spacer tube. When I had the box and carb out it looked like the intake boot would be into the rear shock. I will head out to the garage and check this out here in a few! Sounds good on the box,just keep me posted!
-
Check out Jerry's 250MOD bike he built. This is the boot and box I'm talking about.
http://www.atvriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?501495-Crf250-mod
-
Seen that build,very cool!
-
I think he uses the 04-05 yfz intake boot and the pro design airbox kit to mount up to the aluminum airboxes he uses
-
Yes,I believe that is correct,and that is the boot I have. Problem is,the intake and the front bottom of the air bix will be into the shock if I slide it forward any more. Maybe there is less room on the Housers then on Laegers?
-
Im having problems with pics,ugh

Got to ride today,well the kids did more riding than I got to. All in all the Crf did good,runs great for basically a stock motor! Still miss the R,but happy with my purchase. Even got my 80+ year old great Aunts to sit on the hybrid for a pic! Great day,rest of the family brought their quads,kids got to ride and we had some good food,thats what its all about!
-
Sounds like fun man, and a good family day.
-
Very good family day,even the wife and daughter spent some time on the 50! I have to say,that 50 had a hard day,it pretty much ran constant for a good 4-5hrs.
-
You gonna do some updated pics for us man, I'm interested to see how this is going after the family ride.
-
Well,its sitting in the air with no shocks or arms right now. Front end is for sale as well as the rear shock. Hopefully have a trade deal going to get some Houser arms. Need to sell a few things a make a house payment. I will update in a few weeks. Also discovered the clutch cover gasket has a small drip,so the motor will have to be atleast be unbolted and slide forward(no room). So it was supposed to be just built,I may just pull it and double check everything. I dont want to do a full build on this thing yet,nor do I have the $$$. I want to enjoy this one for awhile. Just change a few things,it bugs me that it doesnt have Houser arms and stem

Nice hybrid you have there man. I get what you're saying when you want everything to be true and overall the same builder parts. I remember for the longest I was in the middle of converting an all Gibson YFZ to Walsh and I was stuck for a while on the subframe...bugged me so much. The problem was the Walsh mounted differently on the frame compared to the Gibson...but boy it bugged me bad haha.
None the less should be a nice hybrid once it's all setup the way you describe, I've only seen a handful of complete Houser hybrids if that, on the net.
-
Yep,to me its irritating if it doesnt match..lol...But it will be soon,fighting the urge to change the noen yellow frame till this winter! [MENTION=40]Deuce[/MENTION] has a Houser yz hybrid build going now,that will be a nice one too!
-
Update,got a set of Houser +3's and a Houser stem. Also got a Pep zps rear shock instead of the Elka she had. If things go right she will get a set of big can fronts next week. I have to pull the motor to change the clutch cover gasket so maybe the frame will get a color change as I will be getting red oem plastic soon,I just cant seem to get past the neon yellow. Thinking maybe white frame,with the red plastic. Arms are black lowers and chrome uppers with a black swingarm,nerfs and Dwt G2's. Thoughts?
-
I've thought many times of doing a white frame with red plastics i think it'd look good. Don't see to many with that combo.
-

Lol,I been thinking about a white frame for a long time too,just never had the guts to do it!
-
I think I'm gonna chicken out and go with red frame white plastics. But if you do urs white frame red plastics it may inspire me lol
-
Lol,I've always done the red frames,and will always prefer that with white plastics,but since I got red plastics coming,that just throws me off. Deuce has a few good ideas and really got me thinking(damn him)! I really wanted to keep this as a "clean rider" and not have polished or chrome stuff. Just wanted something I could ride,wash,and put away. Not have to polish anything,well thats out,theres chrome and a few polished parts already.
-
You know what I think... now ya gotta man up and do it!!! Lol. Either which way you have to realize this is going to be your baby, so why not just take care of it?
-
Would you stick with black a arms and swinger? This would be a combo I'm deffinately interested in seening.
-
Cost wise as of now I will stick with the black parts. Its all textured black so it should hold up pretty well.

Lol,very little polishing on this one! Worked on it a little bit today,pretty much just the stem and nerfs left to remove,and a bunch of neon yellow powder. All the black will stay.
-
Update,frames headed to powder tomorrow. Dont have an exact color yet but a general idea atleast. Thanks to Deuce for getting with Houser for copies of the original hardware/instruction manual. Im working on getting an original copy. Most of it is highly obvious stuff but still pretty cool
(http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz242/04450r/20130925_203516_resized_zps882af1da.jpg)
-
That's really a sweet little manual!
-
It is pretty cool,alot of it is just basic stuff but it does have a bunch of oem part numbers. For the exhaust it say to call GT Thunder or TC..lol I had to call Houser twice for part numbers,the swingarm bolt and lower shock bolt(no link) weren't listed,they were more than helpful,although the salesman had to go ask a tech since it was "before his time"..lol...
-
Yeah I have to say that Houser's customer service has been hard to beat. They know we aren't the original owners of these frames, yet they are more than willing to help out any way they can with them. Also have to thank Chopp as well for letting me pick his brain from time to time to help us out
-
Yep,I was just talking about him in another thread,he needs to come over here!
-
He's already here...he posted in Dan's thread the other day. I love his avatar!
-
Damn how did I miss that,and yes,that avatar is great!
-
I didn't know if I should post in here seeing how I don't have a hybrid...lol Hey how far are you from WI border?
-
Haha its all good! I would about 3hrs-ish,Rockford/Chicago is aabout as far as I've been up north
-
Frame/sub went to the powder coater this week,looks like about 2 week wait. Still have to get front shocks,rebuild for the rear and new plastic. Probly go with white Maier full fenders with a black FW hood and Dfr graphics. The motor has about an hour on new crank,head,cyl and piston,however I have a 12.1 Cp thats looking pretty tempting! Also looking on the Led web site,his porting options look tempting as well. Direct quotes from the site" Our goal is to perform services that will meet the needs of our customers" We do not force a "One-Size fits All" engine package onto our customers because there isn't a type of engine that will suit everyone." Also,a custom build pipe would be nice too,but we will see how the new job goes,plus xmas will be coming up shortly!

Sounds like we're both in the same stages on our builds haha.
originally when I dropped everything off at the powder coater's he said " Oh yeah, I can have it ready in 2 weeks." But it's been about a month now and come to find out the chrome parts I had, which were a lot, gave him a hard time some he had to send it off to a chromer to be completely stripped.
Nice choice on the DFR graphics BTW! I live up the freeway from them and those guys have always supported ATV MX so they get a lot of my business. I just talked to Sam the Mad Scientist and he's in the middle go designing the new 2014 kits. I dropped off my Fullbores so he can make templates for skins/kits.
Cant wait to see some more progress pics, what colors are you going with BTW?
-
LOL,my pc guy said the same thing when I did the Laeger,5 weeks later it was done..I will have some more pics tomorrow,even though I said very little polished part,that went right out the window! Spent a couple hours polishing hubs,spindles and my radiator. Just got my Houser bar clamp and a few other things in the mail today that need polished too.
Im going to leave the swingarm,lower arms and nerfs textured black,with black Dwt champions. As far as graphics,color/design will be similier to there white and blue kit,but I really want almost full coverage front and rear,on top of white Maier full fenders since I cant find white Fullbores..lol
Mirror White will be the frame and sub frame color of choice. I always do typical Honda colors but this one will be different,Ive always liked the look of white frames but never had the guts to do it..haha

Sounds like a solid scheme man. You'll love the look of the white frame. It took me a while to contemplate it also on my first YFZ white PC frame, but I bit the bullet and it was actually easier to keep clean than what I thought. I'm pretty damn anal about keeping my bike clean though so I never had any issues. The frame on my Laeger CRF was white as well and like my old YFZ , it cleaned up really easy with a power sprayer.
How exactly are you polishing your aluminum parts? I'm curious because I'd like to clean up the stuff I'm putting back on my bike as well. I'm really not looking for a shiny look, just a good clean surface look...
-
The last 4 quads I've done I kept saying I'd do white and it never happened so I finally convinced myself..Haha
Theres a polishing thread on here that I will bump that has some good info,keep in mind Im no Pumashine when it comes to polishing..lol..What I use is a bench grinder with 2 buffing wheels,one is a sewn style(stiffer) and a non-sewn. I will do first stage with the sewn and I like to use the stainless stick polish first and then move to the softer wheels and mothers for the final polish. Theres different stages of the stick polish to use also. But for a simple garage polish this seems to work best for me,again,see Puma for a professional polish..lol

Thanks guys!!.. I need front shocks and white plastic still,but I will start assembly this weekend.

Very nice man....love the look of white frames. Can't wait to see this thing come together!

Quick picks,nothing is tightened up yet. Sent a few more things to powder. Still unsure on the polished spindles,may just have them coated black.

-
Looks real good. Could go either way on the spindles.....me personally would leave them polished. If they were in poor shape I would have them coated.
-
Thanks guys!. Spindles are in good shape,might just be reducing the amount of "shiny parts"..lol
-
Rear shock will be sent off this week for seals,bumper and service. Still looking for 19" Axis,prefer piggyback,and atleast dual adjust but will take non-piggys and I will just have the short hoses and piggy clamps put on. Also looking for white Fullbore,(arent we all!!) but will probly have to settle for Maier. Will have parts back from powder this week,hopefully find some time this week to get more done but work isnt cooperating.
-
Looks nice man, I sent you a pm about the spindles man. Swap for a set to be powdered

Some crappy pics from today. Got a few things done.

-
Coming along nicely!
-
Thank you! Already I see things I want to change,handlebars will be swapped for some black ones, and Im going to rob my stainless hardware stash. Thought I could live with the oem bolts but its really starting to bug me.
-
The 88 roller I bought had alot of stainless bolts on it so I continued buying the stuff. Nice but it is very pricey even when buying from Fastenal. Should have maybe just bought a actual kit in hindsight. Until you put the motor in you and I were about even on our builds. But mine is very slow as I am in no rush to finish.
-
This one will slow down over the next couple weeks, trying to bust out a bunch of overtime at work to finish it before xmas. Already on a 6 day work week so it doesn't leave much time for working on it. But I hear ya on the stainless, I have a bunch set back from previous builds, but not enough..lol
-
Looking good man keep up the good work and hopefully you can come up in july and ride the dunes with us all and I can see this in person too.
-
Thank you Jaime, I would love to ride the dunes, all depends on work. The way its looking now I will only get to do one Monster Jam show this year.

LOL, thats about the truth!!.. I was really going to keep it simple on this build,well that and the budget flew away!!..
-
Powder done today, said screw it and took some shiny parts to him while I was there also. Trying to make up my mind on sending a few other things down there tomorrow, slowy all the shiny parts are going away!..lol

You got it Jon, Eric is that the black texture powder.
-
You got it Jon, Eric is that the black texture powder.
Yep, its a mild black texture that matches perfectly with the other parts that were done when I bought it
-
Shiny is faster!! Less drag over the smooth surfaces
But while your polishing, Im riding..LOL
-
Yep, its a mild black texture that matches perfectly with the other parts that were done when I bought it
The PC is looking good man. Along with the white frame you can't go wrong with this black texture. I don't mind some shine here and there, but For motocross or XC or mudding, you'll have to maintain polish much more often than PC.
-
Thank you! I dont mind the shine either, but on this build I want to keep it to a minimum. The radiator,anti fade and front hubs will stay shiny, for now..lol
-
Its easier to keep it shiny than you think, most of my quads have had many shiny parts on them for MX and I just keep the bike clean at all times. Mud off products and wd 40 as well.
-
Yep, I use Armor All most of the time, but I also dont see mud too often..lol..
-
I'm not a big fan of mud but when you race mx its there especially when they think they need to have the quads go after the water the track down so we can clean the track off for the bikes. And then the bikes say we take there lines away from the corners too, ow well to that

PREACH!!
So true LOL...
-
So Im at a dilemma, my Houser stem has great chrome still, and matches nicely with the polished Houser bar clamp, and polished Lsr stem to frame clamp. Yet those are the last shiny parts , and I'm about ready to send them to get coated. Any thoughts, IMO they will stick out against the other colors, but maybe it will help offset? Already sent my chrome upper arms to get coated white, same with the front Lsr hubs and rears. Maybe just getting different color bars will help? Im stuck on this one!!
-
Don't powder the stem leave it chrome powder or anodize the frame to stam clamp. Don't take all the shine away man, it needs some shine man.
-
Yeah, I think I will just leave it alone, offset it with some different bars.

This came in the mail today. Houser Ez-Lift grab bar for 04-05 450r.

Thanks Jaime, waiting on front end parts and a few other things at powder, and I decided to switch up the rear suspension. The entire rear end is for sale, going with a long travel link rear end,450r, if I can get some stuff sold.

Cool man, does that chassi have the set up for dual links. I mean no link to longtravel for what you are doing now
-
No, it was born no link only, I will be directly coping an 04 450r with the exact same setup I will be using. Will be a Houser lt swingarm with Houser lt mx link, Axis shock
-
Ok I got yah man.
-
Just curious why you would want to switch to a 450r rear end? I don't see an advantage there and you have twice as many parts plus the link hanging down.

I have always liked how my 450's felt in the rear. Ive had JB superlinks with Pep's, Janssen (JB copy) with JB link and Axis, GT thunder link with Axis, etc, etc. The only thing that has compaired was my cr500 Laeger with Axis (with prs). Cost wise,450 stuff is all over the place, and fairly cheap. I have an awesome chassis guy, and my buddies 04 450r has the exact setup (except it has stage 4 triple adjust elkas), for me to copy. My Lrd Crf was a 400ex rear link setup, with big can pep's all around, while it handled great, there was improvement, and this Houser will be it. Another consideration was crf450 linkage, or even Walsh Savior (crf link copy), however that setup was out of the budget....I also want this to stay as much Houser as possible. Pro Bounce nerfs would be nice also..lol

Plastic and seat is just mocked up, just sitting on there. Lots of parts coming back from powder tomorrow, I will post pics. Im not using the tank cover, not sure if its Fullbore or Maier cover? I have a clear Clarke tank coming for it. Also, Im not liking that seat cover and foam, that has to go.

Thanks Sam, just what I was looking for!

Yes that tank is coming, sorry for the delay

-
Nice score Eric, you luck f**cker, what graphics you going with.
-
Lol, thanks Jaime!. I know where Im getting my graphics, just dont know what design yet. I do know they will be pretty simple, and wont have many logos. Main logo hopefully in Block Cartoon font, with some sort of graffiti back ground. White, baby neon blue, black and maybe another bold color in the back ground, kinda new school is I guess.
-
Sound cool man can't wait to see that then.
-
I got a powder problem LOL!!
