Farr running walsh now

[TCracin440ex]

OK, but whats with the change, farr was running protraxx now hes running walsh...wonder why he changed brands all of a sudden??

[parkers30]

someone said he had both in the truck, I saw pics of both, maybe one setup is better in some conditions then the other

[TCracin440ex]

idk ive heard from alot of people that the T-pinn frontend has alot of push...maybe the walsh is better....i really dont care what hes running now...i just care that he won sunday! hopefully this is a good start to a good season

[ThumPIN_450R]

he had both there, for some reason he doesn't run the t-pin at glenn helen he didn't use it last year either I have been seeing pictures of him racing the stadium races with the pro trax on so who really knows and TCracin440ex i can tell ya from experiance that the t-pin doesn't push:D

[iceracer65]

walsh is deffinatley the sweetest looking stuff out there...has a real trick, clean look to it.

of course i dont believe in all that crap but if i did and was pooping money i would buy walsh just for the attention to detail:devil:

[TCracin440ex]

so i wonder if he is going to go back to laeger or continue running the walsh...hell thumpin im sure tim had 3 or 4 of everything in the truck lol

[Thump_It]

I thought the pictures show him running Laegers? I dunno I'll go back and check.

[EvilJester400EX]

I heard he was only trying out the Walsh front end.

[Thump_It]

Okay I just went back and looked, those are Walsh. My bad.

[R3Concepts]

On the Phoenix stadium race he ran LSRs new generation Dc4s and a the new LSR link, so im pretty sure he and Mark are just trying to find out what works the best right now.

[TCracin440ex]

o0o...well with his win sunday i think he will proally stick with the walsh

[Zwanter]

i hope not..........not because i dont like walsh he's just like the only person left in the pro class using the t pin and i'd hate to see such a great front end disappear.

[TCracin440ex]

why dont you like walsh..if his frontend is as good as a t-pinn then why not run it...

[coryatver]

why is it called the t pin?

[Zwanter]

not because i dont like walsh he's just like the only person left in the pro class using the t pin

does that say i dont like walsh? no. matter of fact i love walsh i would just hate to not see the tpin in the pro class any longer. if i ever get enough money saved up i'm probably going to get a walsh front end. it's just the tpin is a classic

[TCracin440ex]

dude but the tpinn frontend really aint needed these days...they are posta be a bind free....and the a-arms these days dont bind because of the type of balljoints used

[Hawk III]

i love mine!!!!!!!!!!

[ThumPIN_450R]

I'm with hawk on this one

[Zwanter]

i didnt say it was needed i just said i would hate to see it "extinct" if you know what i mean

[drthrottle]

thumpi450r, it looks like you are running stock front brake lines. how did you stretch those out to fit extended a-arms?

[ThumPIN_450R]

drtthrottle i really didn't do any thing to the lines there is way more than enough slack in them to run extended arms I did have to bend the hard line at the very end to get it around the spindle but that's about it if you don't have a T-pin you won't even have to do that the line will run right in between the ball/heim joints

[drthrottle]

cool thumpin', guess I wasted the $$. I noticed you're from www. heh heh

[911]

ever since the rule change walsh has spent all his time on a- arms and swing arm set ups. he want badly to have the best set up period. even team suz is running walsh this year:eek2:

[jmoney 33]

I was in St. Louis this weekend and he was running the Laeger

call me slow, but what rule change are you talking about

[Hawk III]

the rule he is talking about is pro-production. most of the top frame builders have quit building frames so they have focused more on the a-arms, swing arms and steering stems for the new models.

[R3Concepts]

I was at Lonestar the other day talking to Dan, and they have been selling YFZ frames like crazy, and they had a couple TRXs getting jigged up as we spoke, so people still buy frames.

[R3Concepts]

They will? :rolleyes: Dont flame on me bones.

[ThumPIN_450R]

I'm not a big lone star fan but if honda can't warantee me a new frame i may need to look into getting one of those frames my stock frame has more welds on it than my demolition derby car trying to keep it patched together long enough for me too buy or make a gusset kit for it

All the pics Ive seen of St. Louis he's riding the T-pin bike. Hes also tried 90% of the arms on the market so I kinda doubt he's gonna stick with Walsh. Since he's a 6 time GNC champ on Laegers products I kinda doubt he's gonna stray far.

Thumpin_450.... You have a rear shock on your bike? If not thats a big reason why the frame keeps breaking, the stocker wont hold up to big air.

That is a walsh front end. I raced there. He was about four trailers over. He had three bikes there. He raced the one with Walsh components. I have a walsh front end with pep shocks. I walked up to his bike in pre staging and pushed on his front end to see how stiff it was. He was running thick crosssovers on his shocks to get the ride height low and not dip into the corners. Not trying to argue just telling you what I know.

[crf500]

my buddie got a new atv paper a week or so ago. there is a article in there were it said that walsh would be supplying team suzuki, joe bird and others it also listed that they had been talking with tim farr about his honda.

i have a derisi revalve with link on it so it's close enough having a shock until i get up enough cash for a holz rear end with a pep shock

[yzquadracer]

Farr definatly raced the walsh bike, had the laeger sittin out for the pit party.

I'm not gonna have money anytime soon so it's all good:D

[TCracin440ex]

i guess i'll have to wait then won't I. No worries though it'll all get here soon enough.

[TCracin440ex]

last i heard there was a 6 month wait...now im sure its proally longer

[roostin_dale]

I havent ready the past page so i dont know if anyone has said this....

But, at the Texas GNC, Farr had 3 bikes there. One had DC-4, one had Laeger T-pin, and the one he raced had Walsh....

[CTmxyfz]

I hear Farr got 25,000 to run LSR stuff?

If thats true then LSR is gettin screwed, Farr's LSR bike didnt move all weekend, it just sat under the tent.

i call bs on that...i just think he has 3 separate bikes so he wont reset up each bike for each different a-arms and junk....

a lsr bike, laeger bike, and walsh bike...i really dont care what hes gettin paid to run a certain brand....i kno honda is payin him either way
