Project "Retro with modern twist"

[hickwheeler]

That is cool never knew fullbore made that style front. I like it a lot.

Ok, Got the pegs hole drilled out and all fixed.  Got radiator shrouds on with decals put on.  Got the front end dialed in for caster and camber. After reading some threads about a 400ex/trx450r bumpers bolting on, just have to shim the bottom mounts.  Well thats not the case on my 86 stock frame.  You have to shim both uppers and lowers and lower holes are off by about 1/8 inch so now I need to build a adaptor of some sort.  Axle has been delayed by over two weeks along with a month delay with the cylinder.  Glad I started when I did as with all these delays with people/companies getting my parts I dont think I would have been ready for the first ride come late winter.  All is good and moving forward, trying to stay patient.

Looks really good so far. Don't worry about the fab work as sometimes it makes the results look better in your eyes
because you made it work. Waiting on parts is just part of the build. At least you have time to work on it. I've had all my parts for a couple of months and still haven't had time to start on mine. Good luck with your build.

Pretty sure you got those fenders from me. Glad you are getting use out of them. Totally digging the white frame.

look very nice.  I like how you blended the red and black from the elkas into the rest of the color scheme.

got some more progress done.  Got my axle back from the chrome shop.  Looks great.  Had an issue with getting it through the carrier and found a spot that had some chrome that prohibited the axle from going through.  Then ran into another issue with the new rear brake disc I bought being wrong and about 5/16 larger in diameter and it hitting the caliper.  Wheels came in, they are Alba beadlocks with some Hoosier MX style tires.  I finally got my cylinder back from my port & polisher so I polished the cylinder.  What a pain in the ass that was,  Im tired of coughing up black stuff (thats with wearing a mask, and face shield with googles).  Hope to get the topend on the motor and motor leak down test this weekend and mount it into the quad next week.........fingers crossed.  Its getting closer but still lots of work.

Looks great man, can't wait to see it complete.

New tail light and new brake rotor.  Motor failed leak down test.  But I have a fix, bad base gasket.  Moving along.
