Looks like a solid start. If you're going to sell those plastics, please let me know! I may be interested.

Not sure what I am going to do with them yet. Looks like no other company than Maier are making anything for the R's anymore. Are you aware if any?

Nice quad to start with!  What tires are those?  I see a lot of guys with those OEM style tires now.  Are they still making them?

The rears are off a Suzuki LTR450R Quadracer. The fronts are just basic Dunlops run on a lot of the new sport quads.

Just got back from Hidden Falls Adventure Park. It's in Marble Falls TX. (Near Austin)

There are sand dunes located in Kermit TX (near Midland/Odessa) and the Little Sahara dunes in Oklahoma.
Where in TX are you?

It has OEM axle on it now. Not sure what I'm gonna replace it with. It's been since the early 2000's since I've had an R. Trying to get caught up on what's still being manufactured (not much)

Hello everyone!

Decided to get back to owning an R again.. (you can never stay away)
This will be my 3rd one since the '80's. Going to strip it down to the frame, gusset it and completely start over. Ultimately going to build a XC and occasional duner. It runs but is in pretty rough shape.
Any input/referrals on frame repair and gusseting would be appreciated.

Look forward to getting to know you guys... Thanks!
