my new 300ex project "red rider"

[stuntin andy]

so i hit a tree doing like 40 bending my frame =(....time for a rebuild =).... if your looking for something like a national ready bike its not here just a simple frame swap =)


day of

[stuntin andy]

oops:rolleyes:

[stuntin andy]

the frame i bought (250x) :macho

[stuntin andy]

day 2

[stuntin andy]

day 2 being goofy :devil:


"its still rideable look"

[cased]

lol dude that first one the turn is bad *** and your muscle is like epic

[stuntin andy]

lol thanks dude i migh get some quad whips back up on myspace >.<....

[stuntin andy]

no feed bacl yall?? to day i plan on starting painting the a arms and the swing arm

[SET THE STAGE]

looks fun. just so you know, since it's a 250x frame, it won't have the tabs to hang the battery where the 300ex has them.

[stuntin andy]

ya man i think i have it figured out ... i think im going to make my grb bar a battery box ....sounds like a good idea.... if that dont work i might try and find a way 2 get it under the seat some how.... i painted my a arms black today

[SET THE STAGE]

i've heard of a lot of people moving them to the section between the a-arms. cleans up the rear end and distributes a little more weight to the front

[stuntin andy]

hmm.. but then ide have to weld on my pc framr woudent i?.... i might have a look tho

[shiley55]

ive seen 1 where it was under the seat and it looked nice and clean thats where i am putting mine

could you possibly find a picture of this? i don't really see where it would fit unless it was behind the filter up against the back of the airbox or on the inside of the frame next to the intake tube maybe. which really, that could be a cool spot. beside the intake tube that is.

[stuntin andy]

mine will be simi hiden... if you look at your grab bar and see how much of it is under the seat... thats where my battery wil be

[stuntin andy]

Ok yall so I have some free time in my engineering class so I figured I would let yall know how my build is going. So far I have the bent frame bike all tore down and all that’s left is the motor and wiring. I’ve put 2 coats of gloss black paint on my A-arms and I plan on getting to my swing arm soon. Ill get some pictures up maybe later on today.

[cased]

so we can go do jumps at the gravel pit before all the houses are built

[stuntin andy]

hopefully lol

[stuntin andy]

all most done i ran into a problem tho... i need a arms lol.... ill take some picts of how it sits tonight

nice. no a-arms as in they just aren't on yet or you don't have them at all? there was a guy selling some laeger design rip-offs for 100 bucks because they were rewelded and he had to retap the balljoint part on that same arm. still wouldn't be bad if you're just trail riding and not hitting 100 foot doubles haha

edit: here they are http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=400690
only thing is, with these you might have to get 400ex shocks and the relocator bracket. stock 300 shocks would make it sit reeaaallll low

[stuntin andy]

ya i was lookin at them but i thought he said something about the threads being stripped??

im about to upload them new pictures

[stuntin andy]

this is going to take ages lol i have to send all these picts from my phone to my email lol

[SET THE STAGE]

yeah, they were but i think he said he retapped them. i had to do the same thing to laeger's. once i finally got one of the bottom balljoints out, it crossthreaded and i had to tap it. but it's fine

[stuntin andy]

i gota make some more mony lol =p u think they will hold up good tho? like i do trail and a little track so im kind of hesitant on the while weld thing

[stuntin andy]

denny "cased" makeing room

[stuntin andy]

me settin the motor in

[SET THE STAGE]

frame looks awesome. about the whole weld thing, it is a risky thing. but it is on the upper arm so there isn't nearly as much stress on it as there is the bottom

it's up to you. if you plan on hitting decent sized jumps i'd steer away..

[stuntin andy]

me and denny "cased" all done puttin the motor in at about 4 in the morning!!!!

[stuntin andy]

the morning after the night we set the motor

[stuntin andy]

later that day

[stuntin andy]

how it sits now

[stuntin andy]

now all im waiting on is the bearings and seals for the stearing stem and im trying to buy some a arms....

[stuntin andy]

ya set the stage i dont think im going to get them lol.... i think im just going to buy some normal 300ex ones for now then in the summer when i have come cash ill do the 400ex thing

[stuntin andy]

any one that wants to help me get that front end buy some of my parts :macho

[Dbarker42]

[stuntin andy]

still workin on it the paint is kickin my *** its to cold to paint it keep cracking so i let the a arms sit in the house for a few days paint and repeat. i also got my custom battery bracket made. i stopped updating kuzz i thought people stopped looking lol

[Dbarker42]

haha well keep the updates comin im still followin it

[stuntin andy]

ok ill get some picts up when i get home

[Big_Guy_Green]

I'm still lurkin too! :D

[honda300EXtreme]

lookin good,, shoulda left it alone would of been set up perfect for flat track, minimal turning effort


damn cold, i started taking care of some rust on the truck than next thing you know your clearin ice of the windshield

[Dbarker42]

cool, i gotta question im thinkin bout doin that 450r swingarm conversion this summer and what all i needed. i read n another thread that the 250r shock works, you just need to move the mount, then the swingarm and everything that goes with it.

i know im probably missing somethin?

[stuntin andy]

honestly Dbarker42 im not sure. but about the 250 rear shock just get a 01 raptor shock it would be stiffer then the 250r one.

[hisi]

I have been following this build as well. Your quad is looking real nice. I am currently building 2 my self. One for my son to race Nats and one for his buddy. They both have 250r a-arms, one has 250r front shock and my sons has elka triple rate. My sons will have 250r plastic and the other has 300 plastic race cut with a 250r hood. I will post pics and how the build went soon.

[stuntin andy]

sounds sick i want a hood but i dont want to pay like 200 dollars for one lol

[stuntin andy]

the white bros pipe i bought

[stuntin andy]

base coat on the a arms

[stuntin andy]

[stuntin andy]

[stuntin andy]

[Atlanta]

looks great,I think the red frame sets it off nice.

I am doing a build on my 300 now,but before i have the coating work done I am assembling everything,then its a tear down and rebuild,lol.

twice the work but I am hoping it will be worth the effort.

But again great job.

[stuntin andy]

thanks dude!

[vampyre666zz]

How Do you like having your battery back there? Its an interesting idea

[stuntin andy]

dosent bother me none... it just makes it hard to take the seat off because there isent alot of room between the lever and the batery. and if you put your foot on the grab bar i dont recomend doing it but i dont need to :macho
