Uppermans Honda

[laeger2fiddyr]

Just curious if anyone noticed something strange on Uppermans Honda in the DWT series write up??? Look very closely @ the pics!:)

[laeger2fiddyr]

Is it just me or does his frt plastic & tank seem to be lowered? I heard a rumor that he was going to run a lowered set up like the Trx for sale on Walsh's website.

I did notice how his front plastics are notched a LOT for the top of the PEPs when most people don't normally have to do that. His rezzies are pretty much in his front fenders. lol.
Subframe looks pretty low too.

Is he short or something? I don't really see and advantage to this especially if you are tall. It would make it a lot harder to move on the bike.

I raced every dwt race.... upperman is tall.... but on corners he really gets low.. like he is trying to sit on the foot pegs...
that was an awesome series..to by the way...

the JB arms dont really look the old proseries ones, they dont have much of a curve to them like the proseries did. also looks like a 07 model or around there without a tank cover

The engine is an 06+ for sure. Don't know about the frame tho.

more then likely it is a 08 or newer because it has to be to get the honda contingency money

This bike has the lowering kit installed. (http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=421590&highlight=walsh+lowering)

Interesting how the brake line is attached. Wonder what size bolt was used? & would it compromise the strenght of the arm? I guess not otherwise he wouldnt' have done it.

[eastside 400]

thats not part of a lowering kit and that is how the walsh arms are made, they have bungs in them, jb is the same on the older style

[motomxman450]

you can see that the front plastics are lower by looking where they match up to the top of the shock resi, i would say they are lowerd about an inch to inch and a half..... new style a arms?

[JAKELTR450]

He was running an aluminum tank but thad the same fuel capacity. the subframe was adjustable. the bike was ama legal and it is more of a prototype bike for the upcoming nationnals. i saw it up close. there was a lot of trick stuff on it. like the rear rezzie had a mount built into the subframe, and had a way shorter shock line.

[Lquad71]

i saw it at PEP's shop when he had it apart and that thing is insane...the subframe is impressive but it took a lot to get it like that.

Wats up with the new JB front end?? Is that wat i would get if i ordered them within the next month or two??
