I have a sparks TT(pipe and sparks silencer) I haven't tried yet, Also have a sparks hi rev(with a pro circuit silencer) that I love. Sounds like it's gonna turn out great for ya(the build). Can't wait to see it. post up some pics of the shortened swinger please. I have 2 shortened oem swingers(one done by me) and like seeing that stuff.

I had a Sparks mx my 86' and was very happy with it,this TT came with a DG silencer since thats what Tim used,sponsorship. Thought I had before and after pics of the swinger but must've erased them. When they shortened the Laeger swingarm the carrier housing was crooked by 1/8". They also cut off the round tube gussets for basically flat stock. We cut the housing and gussets off,made a jig to align the arm to the housing then welded it up. Replaced the gussets back to round tube like it should've been done!

Dang that motor looks good!

That motor is beautiful. Who cleaned up and refinished the cases?

05450r · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2013, 10:39:55 AM »

Thanks guys!.. Those cases had atleast 3 coats of paint on them when I got them,not to mention a bunch of burnt 2 stroke oil. They had no cracks or breaks though! I spent most of a day stripping paint,cleaning and painting them. Used the K&S bearings with a new Hot Rod long rod crank. Trans is 88-89 with a full Hinson 8 plate setup using oem plates and fibers. Piston is a 68mm Wiseco pro-lite Cr250 flat top. The pro-x pv cylinder was ported by Baldwin,this came off if the Tim Farr Laeger that Steve(312R1) parted out. Dome was cut to allow the piston to come up out of the cylinder. Cr250 reed cage and intake with spacer using Boyesen reeds. Unknown exhaust flange. 00 cr250 stator and flywheel,01' cr250 cdi with 02' coil. Frame and suspension should be back from powder this week,ready to drop it in!!

Deuce,that was all me on the case. One can of oven cleaner and one can of paint stripper,oh and a few scratch pads and old tooth brushes..lol I was lucky though,once I finally got them stripped down they were in really good shape. Just had some very minor scratches in the sprocket area that I lightly sanded down. No cracks and no repairs on these!

Hmm... I may have to send you some of my cases for you to work your magic on because they did come out nice

Thank you Deuce,send them over! I was real lucky the cases were in good shape and didnt need welded. I have maybe $20 in refinishing them. The next set I do I will probly have powdered. I used 550f vht engine paint,have used it for years with 0 issues as long as its applied and cured correctly. Im working on doing my own pc,small stuff anyways,on my next build. May end up pulling the trigger on a setup big enough to do frames as pc is redicously expensive here. But that will have to wait till I go back to work. I have a guy that builds drag car chassis that can tig cases if need be.

So you said Baldwin did the porting, did they do anything else? Did you send it to Mark Baldwin to go over it after you bought it from Steve?

Nice work. That ended up sweet.

05450r · « **Reply #28 on:** July 25, 2013, 01:14:03 PM »

Thank you etccb! Tbone it was a complete Baldwin built motor that Steve kept the bottom end. It had Baldwin done gears,I couldnt talk him out of it..lol. Im running the cylinder as is,its nikasil plated and just needed a piston and bath. I was running a short rod in my last motor but the way Mark set it up with the spacer and the cr piston I had to use a long rod. I bought a new Hot Rod crank from a place in Iowa for $172 shipped,it is the newer style. The cylinder had a few minor scuffs from the previous piston that I was able to just clean up,it was basically just alumn piston,no gouges or scratches. I really dont think there was much run time on the cylinder. I also bought the Sparks TT off of that quad so everthing should be matched and identical to how Farr had it. I have yet to call Mark for exact details on porting. There was much debate on that partout,and Im not saying it should or shouldnt have been parted out,and Steve and I had a long talk about it. It wasnt a championship quad,and not even sure it was a race quad,I think it was just a play/practice quad. Tim was on a hybrid in 02'. The good thing is the roller went to a good home and I will keep this setup and the history as well. I also know where the white Fullbores went,they are in a good home aswell. I tried to get those too,but a meber here was the lucky one..lol

Sneak peak at the powder,been waiting a month as my pc guy is backed up. Still has to be clear coated over the red but hoping to have it back this afternoon. Was initially going with gold in the lower arms and swinger but decided on just the wheels. More pics in the next couple days when I get it all laid out for assembly. The color is Mirror Red,wheels will be Summerset Gold.
