I think you are right, ones I have seen were on aftermarket frames.

Suspension and Chassis / Tusk Rear Brake Pedal

I see pics of the Tusk rear brake pedal on a few peoples builds.  Are these compatible to an OEM frame, or only to newer after market frames?

"Ellison"  was maybe the last name?  Keith or Craig.....
Wrote me a message and told me I was an "F***ing Idiot"

Moderators name was either "Keith" or "Craig".. I don't remember exactly and i cant get back in to check.  All my previous posts were also deleted.
Another member was looking for some junk cases to work with, I offered a pair he could have.  Was scolded for not putting a price on my parts.  When i replied that the parts were "FREE" and no amount was needed to be on the post< i was immediately banned... Apparently FREE isn't an approved amount...?

So.. I just got banned from the TRX 250R Owners For Life Facebook site for offering to give another member a part for free.
Even got a nasty message from the site administrator swearing at me and calling me names.

Anyone else have an issue with that group?

Thanks.  Looks like they are talking more about the CR250 head, less about the actual gasket...but it sounds like the 86-89 gasket should work.
Thanks

I was afraid of that.  Don't really want to order 10 hoods and don't think there would be enough interest in others to buy the leftovers....

Body and Controls / Maier hood

Does anyone know if Maier made a green scooped hood when they did a run of the green fenders recently?
Did they ever make a green hood and if they did, does someone have one they would sell?
Thanks

What year of CR250 head gasket fits the TRX so I can use a thin gasket on my build?
Or does anyone happen to have the honda part number?
Thanks

Suspension and Chassis / Axle splines

Got it all worked out and reinstalled in the 85 ATC now.  Lonestar sprocket worked, still no idea exactly what make of axle this is.
Thanks

Looks very similar to that.  I'm pretty sure its not a lonestar axle.  There are no markings on the axle shaft that I can find anywhere.  Any pics of lonestar I have seen has a flat spot in the middle of the axle with its model info on it.

Brake side has all OEM parts on it that fit fine... Its the drive sprocket side that I'm having problems with.. The axle is an unknown make.. It has 39 splines on the drive sprocket side.  I got a Lonestar drive sprocket thinking it would fit, but it has 40 splines... I'm guessing that  it is possibly a durablue axle and I would need to get a drive sprocket from them.

Does anyone know what the axle spline count is on a lonestar axle and a durablue axle on the drive side?
I have an aftermarket axle that I got in a pile of parts that I thought was a lonestar axle.  The brake side used all stock hardware, so I bought a Lonestar drive sprocket thinking that it would fit.  I just got it and found that the axle has 39 splines and the sprocket has 40 splines... I guess what im asking is if anyone has a durablue axle that they know what the spline count is on it.

Its possible I guessed wrong and have a durablue axle, but I thought they wouldn't allow the use of the stock break side sprocket.

I've used SRS before and was very happy with the service I got.
The shipping costs to the US and back to Canada sucked, but that has nothing to do with Evans service.
