Thats it for now guys, ill be updating it and posting tons of pictures as it gets going:cool:

[mx1791]

i wish my stock frame looked as new as yours, mines just one big flexxed marked rust ball :( looks like its going to be a sick build. cant wait to see it finished

[rollie]

It held up amazingly well this season, i was expecting some cracks, but there were none, so i was pumped.

[spanky101]

it should look really sick! and i cant wait to see the whole build. Still gonna be a white bike?

[04exking]

I wouldn't leave the subframe silver.. It will make your build look unfinished. Try a black or red on it!

JMO :ermm:

-Martin

[mx1791]

spray paint the sub frame red or something. ive seen quite a few spray bombed sub frames and they seem to hold up, and a $0.98 can of spray paints cheaper then powdercoat lol

[rollie]

If i do decide to do the sub frame it will be powdercoated, i dont want to cheap out with anything on this bike, haha

[400exMO]

gonna be a sick build def. keep us updated.

[rollie]

Got the guesset kit two days ago from BAREperformance, awesome people to deal with and great customer service! very happy with them

http://i11.tinypic.com/6kohvcw.jpg

All welded in

http://i8.tinypic.com/6p0126o.jpg

[JRP]

looks really good nick! Can't wait to see the progress through the winter!

Looks good. Do racers really need a gusset kit? And what does it do performance wise?

[spanky101]

i think most riders will do fine without it, but alt of guys are already tearing the bike down to the bare frame, the extra hundred bucks that could save you about 500 or so on a new frame is worth it in many peoples book...

[Hondabeefast]

[rollie]

The powdercoating is all done and i'll have it back tommrow night, ill post pictures then, should be getting my Evols very soon as well:cool:

Lonestar DC-4 LT, theres a pic of them on the first page:cool:

[Sjorge450R]

eh rollie.....i hope you dont wanna get a precision. Those bare kits are in the way for the mounts. Thats why i made my own kit. Mine is done to the frame right now too. Just for maintance though, I dont have money for PC, i spent all that on my 300.....lol

[rollie]

Nah im running a gibson stabilizer so no worries

Powdercoats all done, just got it back last night:cool:

Heres the valve cover, clutch cover, and motormounts

[rollie]

Frame and sub frame

[rollie]

Swing arm, let me know what you think!

[85and93]

wow that looks good!

[Dave400ex]

Powdercoat looks awesome.

[bloodmoney23]

its looking good man. what did you pay for your frame and sub frame to get PC'd? I got a guy that said 225 but i got a lot of other stuff im gettin done too. Let me know.

Thanks for the compliments guys, as for the powdercoating my sponsor did it, and i traded him some stock parts for it. I think if i would have had to pay for it it would have been around $450 for everything in those pictures.

I have to work on my senior project but then later on im going to throw the frame up on the stand and put the a-arms, spindles, swing arm, rear shock, bumper, all the small stuff, so i should have more pictures soon of it all comming together, as for the engine it should be getting sent to hetrick pretty soon, just have to see what its going to cost, should it back by early january

another update haha things with this build are going really fast but to those of you that are interested, i ordered tie rod ends, a red GenX hood, new sprockets, chain, front side fenders, and a Uni filter. that should all be here in time for christmas (christmas presents haha) and my floats are also finally going to be here!!!

sorry for the long post im just excited with the progress so far

[tar]

Are you still running white plastics? That thing is goin to look sexy:eek:

yep, same plastics, same graphics just new:cool:

[spanky101]

i cant wait to see this bike, im gettin more and more excited to see it. I might be just as excited as you! is there any particular reason you went with hetrick for the motor? He builds some super fast motors, if it was it would be a tough call between him and mark at baldwin motorsports!

My main Sponsor is Gabriel Racing, he is real good friends with rich and is with rich on the new HGR/Kawasaki team. So i can go through my main sponsor for it, and i know hetricks engines haul:cool:

[rollie]

allright guys, i threw some of the parts on really quick, i have to take it all back apart to grease it but i couldn't help myself. im having the time of my live building this quad, paying for 90% of it at 17 years old and building it myself, theres not a feeling like it!:cool:

[rollie]

Heres a little sneak preview!

[85and93]

wow! coming out pretty good!

[nater344]

rollie - you can't go wrong with Hetrick's! Rich and Michelle are great people and do excellent work! I live close to their shop and have delt with them for years. Good choice.

[hendershot106]

hi five rollie that quad is gonna look baaaaaaaaaaad when you get er all buttoned up!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks great!! What else you got planned for it?

[rollie]

a little bit more progress, its hardered to work on it right now because of decorating the house and sjoping for christmas, haha

[rap169]

[Nick110]

Looks good, I got a 05 frame PC'ed white sitting in my garage that I plan on building up but I have no money.

Its gonna look killer when done man.

I want to know if you bought that rear shock and linkage new from elka. If not you got the wrong link and shock. i have had the same rear end in the 2005 and 2007 bikes and they have differnt length shocks and differnt linkages. The linkage mount up points on the 04-05 swingarm are 1 inch closer to the bike than the other years no matter what length swingarm. i know this cause i had a huge problem with that and finally did some mesurments and found it out. its going to work fine everywhere but a whoop section i ended up on my back about 6 times before i started think somthing's wrong. just trying to help you out on that high dollar bike you are building. Call Elka and ask them if they are differnt cause i think they are.

I will add a pic of the 2007 and the 2005 elka dual linkages so you can see what i mean this is the 2007 linkage

this is the 2005 linkage

You can tell by how close the shocks mounts to the black dog bone on each and the curve in the red pieces on is really curved and one is more flat

[rollie]

hrm.... uh oh


im not sure what to do now, LOL

the linkage is off an 04 450R so i guess it is wrong:(

i guess try to sell it and buy something else?

anybody have any ideas?

[Dave400ex]

Call Elka and ask. I don't know why using the 05 linkage with a stock 07 swingarm would be any different then using the 05 with a +1.25 on a 04-05 model. If it won't work sell it and get a Fox rear shock to match your fronts.

i agree however if they are clearly differnt shapes something has to be different, ill call elka tommrow



Anyone looking for an elka elite rear with dual link?

raced 6 times, never by me, just serviced

They wont work right cause where the red part of the linkage mounts to the swingarm is differnt. Honda changed that cause they were having a harsh spot in the mid travel of the shock. i have a 2005 houser swingarm and a 2006 houser swingarm and they are the same length but linkage points are differnt. that is why elka changed theres in 06 i hate telling people news like this cause it slows down your biuld but sorry man just trying to help ya out.

now i have 2 2005 450r's and i use the whole 2006 linkage shock and swingarm so you can do the same since you have the 2005 linkage and shock you can now just buy a +1.25 lonestar 2005 swingarm and it will work fine. they bolt up perfectly and than your set. It might be cheaper to do that than sell your shock and buy brand new.

[rollie]

Yeah thats what im thinking. i found a JB +1 1/4 for $300 so i might just get that and powdercoat it.

[rollie]

Allright guys so im picking up a used 2004 swing arm for a real good price from Craig02 to solve my problem. except now i have to get it powdercoated again:mad: :mad: haha

by the way thank you roostar 450!!! you saved me alot of trouble im sure rather than me figuring out the hard way!

So a stock 2004 swing-arm will work fine correct, i would hate to have another useless set up haha

[Scro]

It will bolt up, just don't forget that the 04-05 swinger is a little shorter than the 06-07.

[rollie]

yep i know, but instead of spending more than a 1000 on new shock/link ill just run this one so the rear end is working right, then mid summer im planning on buying an LSR

Yes that will work just fine the funny thing is that i had a houser +1.25 red brand new never used that i sold for 200$ and that would have worked just great with your build anyways sorry for breaking the news to you but i know i would want that if i was in your shoes. But good luck with your build i cant wait to see it when its all done i just finished my builds like 2 weeks ago its fun to do but i had 2 of them to do so it was tice as long and confusing at some times.

Ryan......

[hendershot106]

i hate to see you run the 04 05 swingarm-- u will prolly have trouble keeping the front end down! especially if you are having motorwork--

[rollie]

yeah you guys have me thinking twice now. what sucks is no ones interested in my rear shock/ linkage, if i could sell that i'd be fine

[hendershot106]

ebay is a wonderful thing these days. ebaying off the incorrect elka and linkage on ebay should at least give u enough funds to get a revalved rear and linkage-- which would work better than that setup u have taking space in your garage-- just my 2 cents.

[xsr_racing28c]

I've got a brand new 04/05 Janssen Outlaw II swinger I'll sell you for $350 shipped. LET ME KNOW ASAP!! Its 100% new and will work great with your linkage and shock..

Thanks, jay

[yz426ex36]

300ex_#387 i ordered them a while ago through my sponsor Gabriel racing, he is having them sent with a bunch of other parts to save me shipping and because im waiting he's hookin me up with some tires:cool: he's real good to deal with
