Laeger Pro-Trx Build

[312R1]

Well here are some pic's of the build so far...I'm pretty much just putting all my parts from my FrontLine framed R that I built on the Laeger Pro-trax.

I still need to get my pro-trax front end back from Laeger..I sent it to them so they could rebuild, replace all bearings and chrome the arms and the stem.

I'm dropping off my Custom Axis shock tomorrow so the can switch it from a no-link to a CR500 link. I hope to have it finished up in a month or two.

Sorry but no..The plastic is NEW OEM that I bought in the spring.

I got it off of ebay..it has the flames on the top.


Thanks for the compliments guy's.

I dropped off my rear shock at Custom Axis this morning and I got a call this afternoon saying it was finished..:eek2: All they had to do was change the bottom of it to make it fit the CR500 link, but still I wasn't expecting it to be finished that fast!

[atvmxr]

so you buy all new stuff from laeger or? thought he quit making R frames and etc...

The frame is off of a complete 03 Laeger pro-trax I that I bought. I kept the frame and pro-trax and sold all the other parts I didn't need or want.

[ct350trx]

Are there any updates?

[banshee84]

[korniev]

WOW WOW WOW WOW I can keep on saying this for ages!
In fact there are no words man! You already had the sickes R on this site and I think you wanted to sell it, however now you are making it even better! KUDOS man
AMAZING

[korniev]

Man! Please post more pics of that beauty

[250Renvy]

When you get back I'd be interested to hear what they had to say or what it cost to get the no-link converted to a CR500 link.

Unfortunately I have both a CR500 link and a 250R link shock and I want to see if I can get one converted to a no-link.

It was a brand new shock so all they did was swap it to a cr500 style and valve it for me..it cost around $150 which I thought was great. I'm home now so I will get the rear end put together this weekend:D

I'm still waiting on my pro-trax front to come back from Laeger, once I get it it will be finished..Later I will get some new rear beadlocks and a PWR radiator

[ct350trx]

Nice bike, but I found it nicer with the other seatcover :D :D
Let the pictures comes!!!

[danhung11]

Makes me want to build another one! :devil:

LOL...Yeah I'm going to replace that seat cover..just haven't found the one that I want...I'm looking for the old school CEET american flag seat cover, thats what I had in the mid 90's and would like to find one.

[800screws]

hey this R on ebay has the cover u wanted, i think...

Yeah thats pretty much it..the only difference is the one I want isn't a nonslip..where that one is grey mine was red.



Does anyone know if CEET has a website?

Here is a pic of the seat cover I'm looking for:D This is my old R and this pic was taken in or around 91..:cool:

[CorvetteZ06]

looks great man!!

[racerx573]

I hope you plan on taking the plastic off before you put the front end on, haha. The narrow frames are a pain in the arse to get a t-pin stem up in. And you have to put it i n clamps first from the bottom usually.

LOL..Yeah I know..It was a pain to get it out..I talked to Laeger yesterday and I should have my front end back in two weeks..:D

[ct350trx]

Do you know what it costs for a compleet rebuild of your a-arms and t-pins?

[312R1]

That I'm not sure..I forgot to mention..That price was with chrome tie rods also. If I had to guess, I would say around $300 or less.

[800screws]

[number5]

Yes I would like to know where I could get rebuild parts cheap for t pin.

[312R1]

Finally!!! Some update pic..:D

[312R1]

Money shot!!!;)

[312R1]

Another.

[312R1]

Last pic for now...I'm still not finished, still have some odds and ins to do..like new seat cover, new rear beadlocks, new PC2000, Paul Turner hand made pipe and put the front brakes on. Oh and JL kick starter..:)


Is there any interest in these front shock's..They are almost brandnew..have less then 4 hours on them. I think I'm going to get Custom Axis so all three shocks are the same.:cool:



-Steve

[Aceman]

Looks fantastic Steve! It's a good thing you're taking pics now, I know once you ride it it's almost impossible to get it that clean again. To many nooks and crannies.......

My goal one day is to have a Laeger Narrow Pro-trax setup strictly for duning.:o :)

Thanks bro...It will pretty much always be this clean...I can't stand to have something thats dirty...after every race, or practice it will be cleaned from top to bottom. ;)


Oh and on the Laeger...man this front end is SMOOTH!!!!

[my88r]

There +4's. I have an extra set of +4's if your looking for some.

[havinnoj]

Lookin real good!!

What wheel offset and wheel size are you running in those pics?

PM me with any helpful info on setting up or anything that would be good to know about the front end... I have one that hasn't been put on my bike yet.

Thanks!

The fronts are 3+2 offset 20-6-10. Rears are 8X8 with 18-10-8.

The front end is really straight forward..I still have to set my toe and everything.

If you need anymore info just let me know and I'll do my best to help.

Not really sure..Like I said there pretty much brandnew, only 4 hours on them. I paid right around $1,000 so make me an offer.


Thanks,
Steve

[dustinshuler]

its beautifull, Ive had tons of Leagers over the years and thats one of the best Ive seen.

[brandonpeake]

could someone please explain the difference between a no link and a cr500 link like which link is better for what type of riding etc
thanks
Brandon

Both are good set ups if there done right..The CR500 link is best for MX and the no-link is better for XC..but you can use either one in both types of riding.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

[Lynch01ex]

Hey really nice bike! I pretty much have the same bike except white frame, PEP shocks, and motor. Anyways throwing a suggestion out there. You might want to get a skid plate for the frame. lol dont wanna mess up that nice new powder coat

Thanks..post a pic of yours..I injoy seeing other Laeger R's..;)

No skid plate, don't want the added weight.:ermm:

[Lynch01ex]

i will deff post some pics soon as i get it all put back together

[spanky101]

im not really sure but tag might make a skid plate fr the 250r... its a lightweight heavy duty plastic of sorts i think. Its called the tag railer skidplate, check it out man!

[KwAdUp]

sick quad. i wanna do a 250r rebuild

[312R1]

I'm bumping this..to give you guys some inspiration for more rebuild threads...We all love seeing these types of threads. Here are the pic's of when it was finished.

Nice Build,

Any regrets along the way? I see you changed some parts.

Any Tips?

No regrets at all..The only things I have changed from then to now is when I did a make over for 09..Went from white plastic to the red and added the QT hood and tank cover. Oh and the cylinder that was on in the finished pic's was a new OEM cylinder I had on just to break it in.

I'm changing a few things right now..Found a new Laeger swingarm and traded the +2 stem to Dustin for a stock length one.. There both going to be chromed.

Don't really have any tips other then take your time and build it the way you want it.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve, have you found anybody that does chrome work at a decent price?

I sent my stem and swingarm to Scott at Laeger. It's costing me about $150 for both I think.

No problem bro. This is the reason why I bumped all my build threads.

I got the seat cover from graves.. Very nice seat cover. I think it was around $100 shipped.

[Fear250r]

Steve....you must have something up your sleeve...
