Everything Needed

[1badcrf]

whats a list of everything needed to build a crf40 quad??
down to the small little parts too...be kinda serious Please

thanks in advanced

[cdalejef]

That list is huge!!! There is so many hidden parts that you don't even think about.

[1badcrf]

thats why i posted:D :D posts here go for like 35 pages

[cdalejef]

If your wanting everything including nuts and bolts, your looking at over 200 parts!:eek: good luck!

[1badcrf]

hey just posting some new things on what im intrested in.... post dont work out thats fine also

[mrusk]

I am starting to doubt that you have the intellgence to build such a quad, and i doubt i am the only one here feeling this. I'll give you some help tho.

Here are the list of stock parts you will have to buy (This is 250r geometry frame i am talking about, because this is what i know).

Buy a chasis bolt kit from Kandk. Its the easiest way to get all the bolts that you need.

Brake calipers and master cylinders
Spindles
Gas tank hardware and grommets
radator grommets
Seat and hardware
seat grommets (4) 2 up front then two big ones by the seat latch.
Gas pea cock
Linkages nuts and bolts
Tie rod ends and nuts
axle snap ring


I think thats it for factory honda parts. The rest of the parts can be bought aftermarket.

Jeff I want to see this list. lol. Your best bet would be to start out with all the major parts, then buy the little stuff as you see you need it. Are you starting from nothing?

[mrusk]

Warriorman i am almost positive the list i gave is all the stock parts.

Only think i missed was the rear brake pedal spring and like the sterring stem bearing.

On my R i replaced everything except the frame, swingarm, master cylinders, spindles, radaitor and gas tank and its hardware. Every other nut bolt and part was replaced. But now i feel like a retart cuz it seems like everyweek a laeger is up for sale for like 7k. I think in a year i'll buy a used laeger and transfer my componets over to the laeger chasis, like my motor, brakes, axle componets, hubs, and all the other schit thats new.

[Dave400ex]

You see that full Laeger Chassis on Ebay that went for $6,500? It was brand new. Very nice....

[d-14 rider 27]

housers website has a list, and you need the head stay brackets from bike.

:huh :huh
I guess you will see, yea i dont know the quad well but building myself from stratch seems a little hard and time consuming to me... and i will put money down i wil build this quad as i futher research into it... i dont want to spend 15000, and jump right into something........

[Dave400ex]

If you do this CRF setup right, you will be spending more than $15,000. If you start from nothing look to be a little over $20,000.

[1badcrf]

you sure how do you figure???? how was quadshop selling the crf for 14000:huh

[AL81]

because it was used even if it never got ridden in its life you will never get the money out of it that you put into it

[mrusk]

Uh the quadshop dont pay retail for their parts. To build a walsh your looking at 15k fot the rolling chasis. Thats everything minus the motor.

Your best bet is to buy a used one.

[Dave400ex]

You know who you should talk to, Mark Baldwin. Call Baldwins and ask if they have a complete parts list and how much everything is. I know Tim's 450 was over $20,000 to build. Baldwin also has CRF motor kits now. Plus I think you will have to have the motor taken to a 440. I thought Pro Production was the only class with the 450 limit, but I could be wrong...

[mrusk]

WM- The list of parts i gave are the ONLY STOCK PARTS YOU NEED. I am almost completly positive. The rest of the parts you can buy aftermarket.

matt

[Dave400ex]

Yeah I know that's all the stock parts you need, but I think he wanted a list of every part you need, therefore Baldwins could help him...

[mrusk]

Every part you need aint that hard unless your a tart. I got some time tonite so hear goes....

Frame, swingarm, aarms, sterringstem
axle, axle carrier, locknut, caliper mount, rear hubs
shocks
linkage and bearings
sterring stem clamp and bushing. handle abars, levers
tie rods, tie rod ends, front hubs, nerf bars, bumbper, grab bar,
break pedal, seat latch, break lines, airbox, swingarm and frame chain slides, pivot bolt, chain sprokets, tank, plastics, tires/rims.

Thats basically the list plus the stock schit i listed in the other post.

matt

[1badcrf]

thanks i will be getting my motor through baldwin. I just think i will be able to build the quad for cheaper than 20,000 i think like 1500...
like the engine is only 4,500 for an 03 with electrics....frame swing arm and a-arms4,000
full elka ssd's 1,760, hipers and holeshots 800ish
rpm axle and carrier 500....thats like 11,300
then plastic, front hubs brakes and all the other misc... rad,airbox and all....
just think it will cost less.. dont know if i added right because i am drink at a friends house:D :D

Later

[Dave400ex]

Well if you go with all the Arens parts you will be saving a lot of money. Heck the Walsh arms alone are $989. You will be able to get Arens LT arms and a Stem for that....

[1badcrf]

well now one has the ifo on any of his stuff yet?? i want to run his stuff to most likely

[d-14 rider 27]

1badcrf, just buy a brand new bike, theres more parts on there that you'll need, might be trick, or kinda handy, a bike is what? 6200? im sponsored by bills sport shop honda, so i got a lil better deal than that, but if motors are goin for 4500, id buy a bike and part it out, or sell as roller.

[racerx573]

www.houser-racing.com has a list of required stuff I believe.

[1badcrf]

you guys say buy the whole bike..... What else do i need other than the engine electrics , brake pedal, and shifter, baldwin makes an exhaust....I say i build it from the nothing..... i will get all arens, or all houser frame componets....engine and other motor work at baldwin and others through many other companies... i think its pointless to buy the bike when i dont use any of the things on it:confused: and who will buy a frame only of a bike they wont have an engine:huh ...Thanks for the help guys and comments

[mrusk]

Uh when you buy the bike whole and sell the roller it can bring the cost of the motor down.
I still think you are better off buying a bike already built. Your going to get half way into this project and run out of money or get tired of ordering little **** from serivce honda.

matt

[Dave400ex]

Yeah if the Quadshop still has their CRF I think it would be smarter just to buy that. They will switch it over to MX for the same price. If you wanted to you could even buy the Walsh stuff and sell all the Houser....

[1badcrf]

walsh is on back order 12 months..... i think i want to build an arens crf anyway .... quadshops would be cool but i want to put the thing on want on it.... that tank and plastic is ugly.....

they will put mx set up on it... it will look like a mx 250r... not the woods 250r... it will have smaller tires and widers a-arms and stuff also...

[1badcrf]

I KNOW ABOUT QUADS GUYS:huh i know about the mx setup and all but i just used the plastic as example...

[cdalejef]

[1badcrf]

with that tank yes,,,, I will be getting fullbore:)

[cdalejef]

We have a stock tank for it for MX. The one thats on it is for GNCC, not looks!

[Dave400ex]

Yeah I think they would change just about anything you want. Changing the plastic and tank is not a big deal. Buying that will save you a lot of work, time, and money.

[mrusk]

Jeff do you guys still have the houser? I thought some guy bid on it on ebay? If you still got it let me know.
