Ok a few more my photobucket account is full and I don't wanna pay for more space so I need to figure out how to save and transport pics for free online. You shouldn't have to pay in this day and age!!

Thanks Higgy

Ok and a few more of the new graphics and Custom LRD Bumper!!

Check out the translucient red plastic behind the holes on the LRD front bumper!! Pretty trick huh, thats a Higgy original, lol. I hope you enjoy these pics as much as I did building this bike!! We only have a few more parts to go and this baby will technically be considered completed!!!
Thanks Higgy

Click on most of these and they'll enlarge so you can get a great look at this beast, lol! She needs a longer swingarm next. That front end is all over the place, lol!! It just wants to be airborne and that was with wornout old Skat-TRAK Wedges!! Keeps ya on your toes though!! Helleva pucker factor, probabaly about a solid 7 until I extend that swinger about another 4". Then it should be perfect for the treeshots and the trails. Not sure if it will be long enough for serious drag racing, but we've got Puma for that with a 6" over already. Is that gonna be enough for the Puma? Who knows we shall see. Gnight R Fanatics!!!
Thanks Higgy

Hey Higgy,What's cracking?The builds looking harass!We've talked a few years ago.I'm the guy that was doing a attitude build as well.What are you running for the linkage?86-87 dogbone 88-89 dog bone or the elusive lrd dogbone( lol) ?Curious, because I'm trying to get a rear shock set up and exploring my options?Any hell would be much appreciated.

Quad of the moth is cool, but I'm goin for Quad of the year!! QOTM=Cool, QOTY= Notorious!!!
Thanks Higgy

these Pics are badass and show your work off very well......but if you want QOTY, you need better background, take some shots in the dunes or grass, so it can be in a calendar, because its defiantly a calendar cover shot quad, just need the right backdrop

Very very nice. I couldn't even imagine what you got into it. I'd be afraid to ride it, but I would.

What up Johnny Five,
I'm running the elusive LRD Dogbone if I remember there's a little difference between the 2 dogbones one is just a little longer then the other, but I figured if its an LRD DogBone it should probably be ran on this LRD Bike!! Coincidentally I just might know where to find I just might know where to get you one brand new LRD Dogbone if ur interested?
Thanks Higgy

DnB_Racing,
Yeah these are just garage pics. When its completely done I'll take some pics out in the yard or in the dunes. I'll get some really nice ones, when she's finished!!! These are just update pics. I may even get a photographer out here for the final ones!!
Thanks Higgy

ya a photo shoot with a hot model??? LOL

the quad will win a cover spot for sure as long as the background is worthy . I would hire a pro for a few photos if I was you, and then send the pics to magazines

Ya,i already have the dog bone,but thinks anyway.It turns out the 88`89 dog bone is 6in eye to eye.The lrd is 6.5 and i think the 86`87 is 6 and three quarters.Ive been running the 88`89 on a pep zps and its never been right.It turns out theres a discrepensie in in my frame compared to my brothers stock 89 frame.Ive been doing some measurements to get a rear shock built fro Andy,i was half an inch longer from my linkage mount to the dogbone mount than my bros frame.Which in turn wouldnt allow my frame sit an inch and half off the ground.The bolts from the linkage would come up and hit the bottom of the swingarm.So i just tried putting on the lrd one to see if it would help and it did.Anyway the bike looks forkin awesome.Will have to meet up down there at winchester or spinreel sometime soon.

What size swinger now? How much for it? I'm looking for +2 or +4

pinned250r · « **Reply #282 on:** October 27, 2014, 01:59:54 PM »

But does it run? I'm sure it's pretty slow huh higgy? Lol. Beautiful build man. I expect this and the lobo at silver next yr

Higgy87trx425 · « **Reply #283 on:** October 27, 2014, 03:32:50 PM »

Ohhh yeah she runs!! She runs strong, hella fun to ride. In 4th gear just cruzing I can grab a handful of throttle and she'll stand straight up on ya! You'll luv going for a rip on this bike! I'll probably have to peel ya off of her you'll like it so much!!! I'll see if I can make it to Silverlake next year, we'll see? I'm gonna have to find a trailer and a ride out there if I'm gonna come out, this next year?
Thanks Higgy

I was asking you Tony whatta you think would be the ideal length of the swingarm on this bike. Between 2 and 4" will work, but which is gonna be the best bang for my buck? 2" would help but would still wheelie a lot comming outta the tree shots or any place else for that matter. +4" may be to much I wanna be able to keep that power to the ground, but I also like to wheelie to. Its just finding that perfect length. So whatta you think do I go in the middle with a plus 3" or just put that +4 on there???
Thanks Higgy
