looking good mate!

[250x_kyle]

got all the ball joints off the aarms, pulled the bearings out of the front left rpm hub since they were shot. going to measure them tomarrow and see if i can match them up. having half a yfz sitting around doesnt help with the work room.

Grant- yes it is in excellent shape no dings dents or anythind the powder is barley scuffed in spots.

JR3 yes its a no link. i actually bought my rear shock off justin. im looken for a houser no link swingarm at the moment. order a bunch more bearings.

[250x_kyle]

got a little farther with it have the aarms bolted up still waiting on a few shock bolts. got my bearings in for the rpm hubs. if anyone needs to know what bearings for replacement timken 05079 bearings. expensive to get them from rpm got all 4 for 25 off ebay from a bearing supplier. and ordered new dust seals from mcmaster. debating whether or not to spend the time polishin up the hubs or not.

[liex21]

I have a parts list packet from houser listing all the part numbers for all the hardware for the crf. They lost the one for the 426 so they sent me the only thing they had, if you want a copy pm me and i can fax it to you.

[250x_kyle]

little update. still need upper balljoints so i didnt tighten anythign down yet.

[250x_kyle]

got a little bit farther on it the harness is hooked in kill switch is on the bar clamp. thumb throttle and clutch lever are on the bars.

carb rebuild should be under way this evening before i go out for the night.

[426kidz]

looks good man...hoping too start a crf build as well. everything going smooth? and is it a 400 geom or R did read much of it?

[Rootar]

Besure and change that oil and set the vavles before you ever start it.

ON that carb i was having trouble with the accelerator pump so be sure the squirter squirts before you install it.

[250x_kyle]

its an r geometry frame wouldnt build anything else.

ross put the motor in for mocking up a few things pulling it back out this weekend to check the valves may just put a new piston and rings in it as well.

[426kidz]

yeah im doing the 400ex geom with mine and a JB frame most likely. looks good though

[scooby18]

what kinda rear suspension u running?

[250x_kyle]

no link, axis dual rate

[Houser450]

build looks good do you have any plans for an intake yet. I am also putting together a houser crf and contemplating on what to use for an intake

im working 12 hour days 5 days a week and 8 hour days sat and sunday on second shift so its pretty much been sitting. however i think im going to work on it sat. atleast get the motor in for good and get some other things bolted up tight.

[250x_kyle]

work slowed down a little and im itching to ride decided not to part it out and go with it.

[strick9racing]

get that thing finished, i love my houser crf. i only have a 13.5 piston and stage 2 cam, and its side by side with my buddies ct350 pv

[250x_kyle]

im working on it my dad had a heart attack two days ago so thing have been a little crazy. plus my 21st bday in the mix. hopefully another week or two.

[mirror_racing]

Hopefully your dad is ok man. Happy 21st too! Quads looking nice btw

[250x_kyle]

going to try and get the front end completely set up tomorrow morning. waiting on custom bushing for the rear pivot bolt once i get them the motor will go back in and ill get this as close to done as possible. rebuilding the carb wens morning.

[250x_kyle]

the bushings i have for the back motor mount are .0325 undersized. once i remove that material tomarrow at work the motor will be in and i can start finnishing this thing up

[250x_kyle]

only a few more things to mock up and it will be time to start tightening thing 100 percent up .

[250x_kyle]

should be some updates comming shortly. completely rebuilt the carb installed the harness and exhaust. picking up a clutch and throttle cable on my way to work. once i get a spacer back from one of the local machine shops it should be ready to test fire.

[250x_kyle]

getting close one of the bolts on the carb needs swiched out due to hitting an upper frame rail. need to fix the exhaust can re pack it. tighten a few more things down and re-wire the kill switch. should be ready to test fire at that point


slapped the fenders and seat on real fast to see what it would look like.

Do you have someone doing graphics for you already? If not, let me know. I do custom kits.

[250x_kyle]

i have almost always kept my rides plain. once i complete it i will see if it needs anything to break up some color or not.

[250x_kyle]

its running but i just cant seem to get it spot on. hopefully get the chain tightened up and adjusted in a little better tomorrow. going to get it done just in time not to ride it so i dont scare the deer off for archery.
