Arens/Laeger XC Build

[bnau267]

I've been on the lookout for Roll XC A-Arms with no luck so I'm moving forward with what I got laying around the garage.  I was hoping to match up my Roll no link with some Roll arms.  Oh well maybe another day.  I'm using an Aren Bros frame (no clue what year) as a starting point and the original motor out of my 86.  I mounted up the Laeger +2's and the Laeger swinger.  Front shocks are Axis & Rear is stock.  Going with the stock airbox, rad, etc.  Have a Houser stem and a Clarke natural tank.  Got a new set Red plastics and a black hood.  I have a nice stock axle and some 4/1 shamrocks that I'll be using.  I plan to ride this ASAP so I'm not gonna worry about color coordination at all...LOL.  

Got a plan until the money runs out:
> Razr2's and use the good old shamrocks.
> LED 300kit > Now it will be a PV265 pc2000 > Actually running the stk 86...lol.
> Pipe/silencer - Duncan race factory finish > Now it will be FMF/LRD
> Laeger arms and swinger.
> Axis all the way around. > Now will use 88 in the rear.

What front bumper is that?

What front bumper is that?

HMF iq for a trx450 (Borich XC).  Not a direct bolt up....need to drill new holes on the bottom and run 1/4 spacers.

Gotcha.  I remember it now.  Looks sorta like the 450r IMS i sold but this one looks better!  NICE!

Wes Stone has a brand new set of Roll XC arms on eBay.

Thanks for reminding me Dan.  I've probably looked at those a hundred times and even made an offer pretty close to his asking price.  I messed up earlier this year when I could have bought a brand new set for $825.  Now I have an unrealistic market price stuck in my head.

Nice build what frame is leaned up against the wall. Looks to be a lsr, older one.

Correct.  Its a LSR 97 serial 0032 standard link.  Waiting in the wings until I find the right deal on a LSR swinger and arms.

Narrowed her up a bit.  Took the trx450 components off and replaced with the 89 stuff.  Gives me an inch back plus adds some adjustability in the front end.  The 450 stuff will have to wait on Roll XC's.

Looking good!!!

Before pics of the engine.  I'm going with the Bill Ballance LED deal.  Think I'm just gonna roll with the case damage....it's been that way for almost 15 years anyhow.  Plus I won't get that sick feeling the next time I throw a chain.

Nice build so far, I'm jealous of the Roll no-link swinger! You definitely should grab those +1 Roll A-arms from Wes you will probably not see a set like them again for a long time.

Have you tried 04/05 450R spindles? I thought these were the ones to run because they are closer to 250R/400EX geometry and in 06 Honda changed the spindles and they didn't handle or turn as well as the 04/05.
