This build as some of you know is to duplicate/replace and improve on a Quad that my son had to sell while on deployment. This was due to the fact of finding out two weeks after deployment that his third son was on the way. Here is a pic of the quad I am trying to replace.....
So I was able to pick up a JP no-link frame for the project.
This is what the frame looked like when I received it...
His original quad had the Walsh aluminum sub-frame on it as it was an 89 250r frame that had been modified by Walsh..I was able to find another Walsh aluminum sub-frame so
the first think i did was to take the JP frame to a friend of mine to relocate the mounting tabs for the rear sub-frame... And after that it was off to the powdercoater......
....
A better pic but after I had installed the no-link swing-arm...
I also picked up a JP steering stem clamp to keep with the JP build....
I then started to install the Pro-Trax a-arms ...
But then because of concerns of maybe having to modify things I decided to check to make sure I had clearance between the Walsh radiator and shrouds and the sway-bar. I have always mounted the sway-bar to the back of the a-arms mounts due to two reasons...One is with the sway-bar on the front it becomes another bumper and either gets trashed on or bent up. The other reason is that it is just another thing to get tied up with another quad on...Especially while racing on the ice as an Arena makes for tight racing...
While trying to fit the radiator I found that the bottom radiator pins did not want to line up with the rubber mounts in the frame....
After some modification to the bottom mount rubber I was able to get the radiator to fit....Sorry no pic as I had to get to work.....I will update tomorrow as I hope to get more done on it....
