why '88 ? I thought all years spindles used the same geometry.  I've emailed Roll Design and no one ever replied back, thats why I started this thread.

Thanks for the replies... I didn't wanna reply till I got my pictures taken. If anyone has experience with these arms I'd love to know the shock length and spindle information. The seller I bought em from told me they used stock length shocks.  My Rolls appear to be about an inch longer than the stock arms. Do the '86 spindles use a different geometry than the '89 spindles ??

Hey fellers I picked up a set of old, non-long-travel A-arms and would like conformation that they are made to use the stock 250R shock length.  Also what spindles are used ? These arms are the non-gull-wing models. The arms use ball joints. Thanks folks. I'll try to get some pictures up asap.

XC / 2013 gncc season

« on: October 18, 2013, 08:25:28 PM »

Still digging through all the stuff on this site and found this thread today. Went to Gusher this past weeke-end with my friend that races the GNCC when his schedule allows it. He's a former 250R MX racer from the 80's & 90's, now he's doing GNCC on a 450R with engine work. Since he is not following the points for the series, he runs in the first year rider class. His goal each race is to finish, but last weekend that got him a 4th place.Anyway, that was my first experience with organized ATV racing, despite I've been riding for over 30 years! It will definitely not be my last! Not sure if my friend is doing Powerline or the Ironman, well actually I know he's not doing the Ironman, for we have a group trail ride planned for that week-end up around Kalkaska. But next chance I get, I'll be riding along with him to a GNCC race!

First race ,, Thats awesome.  I've been to a few GNCCs and countless amount of local xc races, its a great time.

if you are going to post a photo video,the lounge isn' tthe   section for that.

Hey stupid, the thread is about GNCC racing and its in the correct sub forum. Now me try to explain this to you like you are a child...  Forum users are allowed and encouraged to post pictures and videos within threads that are started in the correct sub forum.

 Do you really lack basic comprehension and logic skills or do you really honestly have no idea how internet forums work or are you just trolling me.  Well I think you're stupid, you honestly don't know nor care to understand the basics of forum etiquette and protocols and I think you are a big penis-head for trolling me everywhere I post, so you can fuuck off for that.  I was nice and polite when I asked you to start posting the correct section and you replied back like a big asssshole.

Suspension and Chassis / New LSR DC-4 long travel a-arms for 250R

You aughta post your full review in the "Suspension" sub forum so its easier for people to find when they search for suspension related info. It also unclutters the lounge, which should be designed to discuss 'off topic' subjects that either don't involve the 250R or 250r related topics that don't have a specially dedicated sub-forum like "suspension" or "pics and vids".

Suspension and Chassis / Heel gaurds, lets see em

« on: July 31, 2013, 05:56:47 PM »

Hey guys, love the pictures and all, but how bout some details on how you mounted em and/or the story you have about em. Did you have to grind stuff, did you have to make brackets, do I have to cut my fenders, would you get another model if you did it again etc etc.  How bout some closeups ?   I'd like to know if you use Roll footpegs with... lets say 400ex Roll guards, do the mounting holes on the guards line up with the mounting holes in the footpegs ?  Details like that is what I'd love to hear about.  Did you have to bend anything ?  Thanks fellers...

Fred, I'm not contradicting myself at all, I still believe that censoring words or bikini pics is not the right direction. What I am saying is that the members here decided that they want a family forum that children can visit and not have to read certain words or see certain pictures and by pointing that out to the guy who posted the picture does two things, it informs everyone of the censorship rules that are on this forum and it shines a light on the censorship rules that are on this forum. Do you understand ? I can re-word my reply if you don't understand where I'm coming from.  These are the rules here, I challenged the rules and no one stood on my side of the debate, where were you then, what was your opinion ? We all decided its for the best of the forum to be accessible to young kids and I believe that if people are offended or don't want the kids to read even the most simplest of "curse" words then they certainly don't want a close up picture of the female sexual area.

Anyone using 450R heel guards ?

Guys, ya shouldn't be posting pictures of barely dressed women here, the moderators made it very clear that this is a family friendly website. There are young kids that come here and if they see that kinda of stuff they might not want to buy/ride a 250R.  Before you post something you need to ask yourself if the content is kid friendly... in other words when you comment here you should imagine you're talking to either a child, your mother or some religious leader-dude... about 250Rs.  I think the moderators should censor the picture of the nearly naked female upper-leg area for the sake of the children's innocence.

How bout 400ex guards. The 400ex and 450R guards are a lot easier to find in used condition.  I'd love to be able to buy a new set of IMS-Rolls made for the '88-'89, but I'm too cheap !!

I bought one of those stupid Ebay allen head bolt kits for my Banshee about 5 years ago and hated em. Now I use those suckers to plug up bolt holes before PC work.

Suspension and Chassis / carbon fiber wheels...

« on: July 26, 2013, 10:58:03 AM »

Love my Hipers, one of the best product I've ever used on an atv.  We're always bending aluminum wheels here in rocky Pennsylvania.  I've had my Hipers for about 6 years and put thousands of miles on em with no failure. But... I did manage to break one last summer and it wasn't the wheels fault.  I got a flat tire on the rear and didn't notice it till after we blasted through a rock garden. Turns out I busted one of the halves.  I had to email Hiper because I have the older style wheels, I bought em around 2006-7, they're dual beadlocks, Hiper sold me a half from the new Tech 3's and it was identical to my old half. Bolted it up and haven't had a problem since.  I think they charged me around 60 buck shipped for the wheel half.

Also, get the 4:1 offset fronts.
