LRD Attitude build

[Higgy87TRX425]

Hey guys check out the start of a new project. Here's some pics of my next build the LRD Attitude build. Here's the link http://s979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/LRD%20Atiitude%20build/ So enjoy these pics I have some more red weave carbon fiber from FourWerx on the way. I just need to get some shocks now!!! I'm thinking Fox Evol or maybe the AXIS air shocks. We'll see, 1st a gotts make sure that the Protrax frontend is gonna clear everything! Thanks Higgy!

Here's some of that red weave Carbon fiber from FourWerx, Sick Huh!!!

http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/LRD%20Atiitude%20build/LrdAttidudebuild007.jpg
A pic of the frame. I'm just starting to mount the frontend up making sure everything clears ok. That protrax frontend tierods, seem to hit the A-arm mounting tabs or at least the head of the Allen bolts that will hold the A-arms to the frame. So I think I'm gonna have to countersink the heads of the bolts for clearance!


http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/LRD%20Atiitude%20build/LrdAttidudebuild005.jpg
Just another shot of the frontend!! This is gonna be another tough build. Anyone ever put a protrax frontend on an LRD frame?? Someone had to have tried it back in the day?? Anyway enjoy these, Thanks Higgy!

[guy310]

Your shocks will top out and keep the tie rods from hitting the a arm bolts once you get them.

[superman]

Gonna be an awesome build! Those LRD frames are a work of art! I ran one of Arlens 350 PV motors on the Attitude chassis in Open A GNC MX and it had to be one of the best rides I ever had!! Best of luck, lookin forward to seein your progress!!

[Higgy87TRX425]

Guy310: I kinda thought that would be the case, but I wasn't sure! I was still a little concerned. My lobo didn't have this issus at all! That I can remember. Yeah I definately need SHOCKS! lol! Thanks Higgy!

[fastrnrik]

I had a pro trax on an attitude frame. I had no issues with clearance or things hitting/binding. Like was said above, once you get shocks on it, it should be fine.

[sand_blaster]

Very lucky, i want one of those frames

[tcoop474]

That thing looks bad like the gold chrome and red carbon fiber

[JOHNNY FIVE]

That thing looks sweeeeeet!Love the color.Im building a lrd frame,right now myself.When we get them done,we ought to hook up and hit florence.

[Higgy87TRX425]

Hey bud,
Its always cool when I meet another person on the forum thats from P-town! I've already met 3 guys on here! We've been helping each other out during bike builds and have gone ridding a couple of times too. The Lobo I've been working on has been my main project, but its almost complete so I've started to put this beast together. The chromer's gonna be happy to see me again lol! These bike builds are addictive. I eventually wanna have an LED motor built by Arlen to go in this frame. I think that would be a sick combo! Anyway it would be cool to hook up sometime and see ur build! Thanks Higgy!

[spintly]

Did you get mounts with those shock covers or are you making your own mounts? Very nice start!

[Higgy87TRX425]

When I buy shocks I'm gonna get ahold of Jay at Fourwerx Carbon fiber and he's gonna suppy the shock mounts for whatever shocks I get. I believe he has mounts for most aspplications! I just ordered Red Weave radiator shrouds and Mastercylinder cover! I can't wait this is gonna be a sick build!! Thanks Higgy!

Ya man,Arlen supposed to be the 250r guru.He built me a pretty mean yfz.This is my first 250r and the motor is already built.But ya,lets deffently stay in touch cause i can surelly use some help with mine.

[Higgy87TRX425]

I'm Stoked, most of the major parts are on the way for this build. Axis Pro-Airs to start! ! The motor is in the shop now, but I've gotta get my cases polished 1st before I can get it back to Pete. I think that I'm gonna chrome the quickchange cover too. So most of the major parts are already in the works, hopefully it will be pulled off by spring. I'll have some up dates and fresh pics after this weekend. The red merrell hubs from Dustin just showed up to, so I'll be able to do some work on her this weekend. Gotta come up with a name for the project too??

I'd also like to see what people have done to mount there gas tanks and how then mounted the front seat brackets for the gromets to hold onto as well. There's definately gonna be some fab work done on this bike, probably a new rear swinger, and a longer +2 or +3 steering stem for the Protrax frontend. Then its time to "bring the bling", lol!! Thanks Higgy!

[Higgy87TRX425]

http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/Lobo%20LRD%20pics/NewLOBOpics096.jpg

I know that this is a bad shot of the hubs, but it was the only one that I could find to post. The front Duncan bumper sure looks SICK though!! I'm piecing together parts and just got the line and slave cylinder so I'll have a Hydraulic clutch on this bike as well!! With a few parts on the way and a few more to buy we're getting close to mocking this whole thing up! So I can then send everything off to Powdercoat, poloish and the Chromer!! AWE yeah lovin the BLING!!! Thanks Higgy!

[superman]

Still the best looking bumper out there!! I need to find one for my aftermarket build later this winter! Lookin good!!

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Nice, work man!Dig the bumper and the hubs.I just spent the weekend putting on my a arms,front shocks,bolt kit in motor,and motor in frame.If i could only figure out how to put the pictures from my phone to this damn computer.

[Higgy87TRX425]

I bought this device from sony which will read all memory cards. if you have a mini SD card in your phone then save the photos to that. The you'll need to get the Adapter which allows you to install the mini SD card from your phone into the SD card adapter. You then put this in the card reading device which transposrts all the pics to your computer and then you name them and they're saved in the picture section on your computer! I knoe that it sounds confusing, but its realy easy! Thanks Higgy!

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Thanks for the advice,ill have to look into it.

[Higgy87TRX425]

So heres a link to some fresh pics of my weekend of POLISHING!!! I tackled my engine cases this weekend. For 2 reasons, one is because I'm impatient and didn't wanna wait the time it takes to send it out to be polished! Sencondly, I wanted to see how hard of a job it was? Well take my word for it, it a pain in the BUTT! It takes alot of Patience which I just told you I'm lacking. However this is technically my third weekend of sanding on them so I kinda got to take my time. See what you think?? http://s979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/LRD%202/
I know there's definately room for improvement, but I'm not so sure that I wanna take the time to make those improvements?? Thanks Higgy!

[Higgy87TRX425]

Heres a couple of close ups..

http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/LRD%202/LRD2015.jpg
I just liked this view!! They turned out ok, I'm still thinking about doing some more sanding on them. We'll see how much I feel like sanding next weekend??? Thanks Higgy!

[twopump78]

Looking good... sure hate to see oil get on them..

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Nice work fella,now maybe you can over and do mine.

[Higgy87TRX425]

Johnny Five: It was hard enough doin my own! If I ever decide to do another set I'll be sending them out. Way too much work!! Thats at least 10hrs and they could look alot better. I even used trick homemade sanding wheel that Pumashine showed me how too make!! Still too much work, lol! Well at least there done for now! Thanks Higgy!

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Well they look damn good!My cases have a fresh coat of gloss paint on them,so i was just gonna keep them that way.When they turn to crap then maybe i'll have to do what you did.

[Higgy87TRX425]

Well its a Pain in butt, However I wanted to bling out the whole motor. It will look good you'll be glad you did it! I have a Duncan quickchange cover that I'm gonna chrome, with an Annodized Red Duncan cover and Red Merrell waterpump cover! I think that the red highlights will make it look sick! The stator cover will be a Polished Nac's cover. I'm redoing a PSI 425 topend that I blew up last spring. I'm thinking about stroking the motor as well. It should run FAST!!! I've got some work to do though!! I gotta get those cases to the shop, this week!! Give it a month or so and I'll have some more pics of this motor up!! Thanks Higgy!!

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Cant wait!

[Higgy87TRX425]

Well, I heard that the plastics were pretty tough to get on so I thought that I try and wrestle mine on yesterday. I think that they turned out pretty good! What do you think?
http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/LRD%204/RachaelsIphonePicsKeithsLRD023.jpg
Here's a nice front view.

Then the left side, I think They look pretty good! There's a few small gaps and some cutting that needs to be done before I put on the graphics, but not to hard considering they only fought me for about 2 hrs.
Thanks Higgy!

[250Renvy]

I don't know if it was planned, but I live the contrast of this build to the last one. Warm red/gold vs cool blue/chrome.

I know you bought it like that, but is there any chance you know what color the powder is on the frame?

[audioworks04]

Looks almost identical to the gold nugget gold that I use from powderbuythepound.com
http://www.powderbuythepound.com/GOLD_NUGGET_SUPER_DURABLE.html

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Looks super nice man!So did you have to do any modifacations to get the plastic on?Is that maier plastic?

[J250r]

Top notch as always Higgy

[Higgy87TRX425]

Hey guys I'm not sure of the Color of gold on the bike. I think I bought the bike skyshredder if I remembering correctly. He was the guy that powdercoated gold. After I bought it, I decided to keep the gold. It kinda grew on me, plus I couldn't stand to waste a perfectly good powdercoat job. If was was gonna repaint it any color it would be done a candy red. Close to the color of the Red annodizing.
The plastic was a bit of a tight fit it's Maier OEM replacement plastic. I'm gonna have to cut the front part of the rear plastic right where it connects to the front plastic, because one side of it hits the front plastic. Then I had to kinda strecth the plastic to get the the front bolts in where the seat is bolted to the plastic in the front so that they stay as one piece. Then in the rear I bought an aftermarket Billet alum. Seat mount. You have to push on it alittle bit, but it slides together. Eventually!!!
Thanks Higgy!!

Thanks Higgy! I still havnt figured on how to put pictures on this damn computer.I took some pictures with my i phone,uploaded them to the computer,but when i try to put them on this web site under attachments,some error pops up.Anyway,im kind of at a standstill.Lack of money for the time being.I have the motor which is fresh,took the cylinder over to Arlan for some port work.I have a set of 3+1 chrome a-arms from laeger on front.a set of fox long travel evols on.Some 400 ex spindles.And thats all i have thats mounted.I have a chrome swinger that im still waiting on from laegar,and a rear pep im waiting on from baldwin.Thats about where i sit with my build.At least until after christmas,when i have a little more doe.

They do other polished parts also,
They make engine holders that are sik, some are just to hold the engine others have bases to mount to work on engine,
Top notch quality

[Higgy87TRX425]

Yeah, thats funny I was just on Pumashine's site the other day. I bought a 15 tooth case saver from him and it arrived the next day!!
He's located in Eugene. Great guy!!I've been to his shop to meet with him personally about some custom parts that I wanted to have made. He was super cool and built me a couple of one off parts for my Lobo, a rear clain slider bracket, a radiator cover, a round tube coil mount and I also bought a polished stainless steel and an aluminum engine stand from him. You won't find a guy more into 250r's or a better guy to do business with!! If he makes it, it will fit and work perfectly and normally be polished to perfection. He stands behind everything he makes and is a hellva nice guy. If you're looking for a dress up kit you can't go wrong dealing with Tony!
The stator cover is pretty easy to polish up yourself, the clutch cover well that a whole other operation, there's alot of areas that are hard to reach, its best to leave that to the pro's!! I like the quick change covers better myself. I like the oldskool quickchange covers, but you can get an ESR Brand new right now for $199. Just a thought??

If you wanna post pic's to the threads use Photobucket and download the photos through them. Then you're able to click on the Photos individually and go back and forth between the thread and the album in Photobucket to post them on a thread. Thats how I do it!
Thanks Higgy!

[Higgy87TRX425]

Het guys check out the fresh new carbon fiber shrouds that I just put on the bike..

http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/LRD%205/LRD5010.jpg

I'm suppose to be gettting my swingarm back painted gold this weekend too so it'll match the frame and then I can put the whole rearend togther and turn this build into a rolling chassis. Then I'm just waiting on the motor thats in the shop being built currrently! I can't weight!!
Thanks Higgy

[dustinshuler]

Dude Higgy! I only wish I had the patience with my build as you do yours! Its looking great!!!!

[Higgy87TRX425]

I just take it one part at a time. That way its done right and every part turns out the best it can. I pick one part that needs to be polished up and spend the weekend polishing it. Or if its fitting plastics on the bike I take that one piece at a time. That way everything turns out the best it can, Its hard not to rush it, but that way its more forfilling to build it like that!! Thanks for the compliment.
Thanks Higgy!

Thanks Higgy great job, love the colors, oem colors in a new scheme... I LIKE IT!!!

but why polish the carrier? it wont be seen inside the swing arm housing
a lot of work to be covered up??:confused:

[Higgy87TRX425]

What can I say I'm a polishing nut!! If you looki at the photos of the before shot of the carrier you can see what it looked like. I basically sanded the parts that you can see when its in the swingarm and then it looked like the previous owner had to pound on the carrier to get it out of the swingarm, so I sanded the rough parts where it looked like it had gotten caught up in the swingarm. Then I polished those areas with the hopes that it wouldn't get stuck in the swingarm again. I didn't spend alot of time on those areas believe me, but its tough to stop when you get started!!1 I wanted to make it a little loose to keep it from getting stuck again!! Call it preventative maintance, lol!! Its all gotta Bling, ha ha! Didn't you know? I've got the sickness?? I thought that it was common knowledge by now! lol! Anyway thats why, have a great Holiday buddy!
Thanks Higgy!

[89trx250r]

Very nice higgy Your quads are top notch :)

[Higgy87TRX425]

89trx250r: Thanks Alot man I appreciate all the compliments everyone pays me!
Happy Holidays Higgy!

Thanks Higgy! I just noticed... is your quad stand polished also?
ya youve got the sickness bad LOL

keep it up!I will be looking at this build for ideas,hope you dont mind if I happen to do a little coping:o

have a merry Christmas, maybe put the elves to work doing some of your polishing, :D

[Higgy87TRX425]

HA HA!!! Thats a good one! I've got the sickness alright, but not that bad! The stand is just brand new, lol!! Copying is the most sincere form of flattery so feel free buddy! And keep up the good work on the build! I wish a had a group of tiny little polishing elves, and thats all they did!!! No such luck though, lol!!
Thanks Higgy!

[Higgy87TRX425]

I just got some chromed parts back so I got my swingarm put on and now I just need to get my rear sproket hub pressed on and then she'll be a roller just waiting for some HP. Check her out!
http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/06%20Yamaha%20YZF%20450R%20Special%20Edition/06YamahaYZF450R073.jpg
I'm gonna get my axle installed this weekend hopefully and then I should be able to roll her around! Just gotta get a cylinder together for it!! Still undecided on what to run for a motor, I thinking of an LED 350 PV to match the frame and other LRD parts. Whatta you guys think I should put in it???
http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/06%20Yamaha%20YZF%20450R%20Special%20Edition/06YamahaYZF450R072.jpg
Here's a better angle
Thanks Higgy

[Higgy87TRX425]

This is the best one that I could find!
http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/06%20Yamaha%20YZF%20450R%20Special%20Edition/06YamahaYZF450R079.jpg
Just a few addtions and she'll be awaiting a motor!!
Thanks Higgy

[mx91a]

Looks amazing so far! I think a LED Sphinx 350 PV cylinder would be awesome and pretty unique I don't think I've seen one of those yet.

[Higgy87TRX425]

ma91a, I agree, and thank you! I have a PSI 425, but pistons are a month or more out and their notorious for blowing up! I only got 2 rides on the motor before she went! So I'm still deciding to either fix the 425 cylider or get ahold of Arlen. I gotta get on it pretty quick because it should be a roller by this weekend! As long as I get my axle back tomarrow, if not then early next week! I gotta pony up and make the call here soon!! I just got a bunch of chrome back and my RED Tank cover refinished by LEW JR. and it looks sick!! thanks LEW!!
http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae274/543215196/06%20Yamaha%20YZF%20450R%20Special%20Edition/06YamahaYZF450R077.jpg
That rear shock still needs to be rebuilt too, so I have to sent it off as well! I have another for the time being though! Its just hard jumping from one project to another, do I spend the money on finishing the LRD Project or my numerous other projects IE Sabertooth motor! lol! I just wanna go fast!!! I think that the LRD is gonna come first! Enuff said.
Thanks Higgy

[Meat]

What kinda riding do you do ? Bike looks real nice.

[mineralgrey01gt]

Dude what bars are those? They look sick. The whole freaking thing is sick lol. I love it

[Higgy87TRX425]

First off thanks for the compliments!
Meat & Mineralgrey01gt: I ride in the dunes mostly. I'm really just gettin back into it after about a 10 years off. I used to race moto-x and push my Honda Cr125r and Honda CR250r to the limit in the dunes! I about wrecked myself a few times so I decided to switch over to a safer form of the sport and stay a little closer to the ground! I still wanna haul *** though so thats why I'm building the Hillshooter style bikes. When the current projects are finished up, I'm gonna get to work on that Sabertooth motor and maybe do some drags??
The handlebars are Tag Hart & Hunington Dirtbike bars I liked the color scheme! The goldon them fit with the RED & GOLD for the LRD Project. Now I just have to get a longer steering stem? Or I have another set of FastFlexx bars that I was thinking of Polishing up and putting on? I think that they'll sit a little higher? We'll see just like the motor still kinda contemplating what to do?? Whatta you guys think I should run??
OHHHHH I got my axle back today so as soon as I'm finished moving everything I'm gonna repolish up the sproket hub because they nicked it up when they were pressing it on. They said that they had to use a 50 ton press to get that new HUB on there, probably becasue of the fresh chrome on the axle!!!! Damm!
Thanks Higgy!

[atv fan 28]

Come on now Higgy!! Where is the nice gas cap for this build??? :D

[89trx250r]

haha yea higgy whats the deal with that crappy gas cap :)

[Higgy87TRX425]

You guys don't need to try and push my buttons, when you know that I've got a twist throttle thats always pinned!! The gas cap is on the wish list, or should I say build/buy list. Its not that high on the list though. Thats gonna be a annodized Red Project321 Gas Cap! Commin on you guys know me better then that, its commin, just after a few things that the project needs a little more!!!
Thanks Higgy

[dtowndiesel]

Sweet build for sure Higgy! I can't wait to see it come together, but you need to do us a favor and take the beer goggles off your camera! I wanna see some details!

[Higgy87TRX425]

dtowndiesel: Ok Sorry, I've been using the Camera on my phone. So I'll either use my girls I-phone camera or borrow one. I've been kinda lagging on the work on my bike cause we just moved into a new place! However, I finally have a garage!! I just have to move my current project over here. I have too much crap for this single bay garage though. So its one project at a time for now!

Nice looking ride congrats.
And if you guys want to praise and glorify Arlen then please at least spell his name correctly.
ARLAN <-- it's AN not EN

And I agree Arlan is the man. Happy as hell I can drive 10 minutes and get the worlds best BAR NONE 250R service.
Arlan built my Sphynx and it makes super killer torque and peak power.

[dustinshuler]

Its looking awesome! I just love checking in on these builds!

[Higgy87TRX425]

Thanks Guys I appreiate it! Hopefully I'll have more done soon!
Thanks Higgy!

Thanks Higgy!

[Higgy87TRX425]

She shill needs a little more polish, but the chrome on the clutchside turned out pretty dam good I think! I wish that cast aluminum polished up as well as billet does! You can clearly see the difference when you switch between the 2 pics. The Nacs cover is just polished like the cases. It looked so good after I was done I decided not to chrome it!
Thanks Higgy!

[atv fan 28]

Looks goooood!!

[JOHNNY FIVE]

That motor is pretty!Looking good all together higgy.

[Meat]

Real nice

[Higgy87TRX425]

Well after finally deciding on which motor to go with I chose an LED 350 Sphynx motor reported to produce 65hp after being Dyno tuned. You don't wanna know the cost , but heres a photo of her all blinged out, ain't she pretty! Thats 65 Hp with that light aluminum frame and the bare essensials on the bike should make it a pretty nasty motor, lol!
So check it out sorry for the glare there was just alot of sun comming into the garage yesterday we got the whole motor and pipe installed after over comming a few obsticles in 1 day, with the help of a good friend!

So whatta ya think pretty ain't she????
Thanks Higgy!

[J250r]

Need better pics! Looks awesome though. Lovin the gold frame

[Higgy87TRX425]

Yeah I know it was a last minute photo on a my crappy camara phone and I was being rushed the whole time, Sorry! Glad you like the bike there's more to come!
Thanks Higgy!

[CorvetteZ06]

looks FANTASTIC!!! more pics please :D

[Motofool250r]

Higgy get this one running and riding so you can come play in September!

[Jake250ex]

I need a job where you work.

[tbone250r]

Question = What the hell do you do for a living?

That thing looks sick. Especially that LED motor

[DnB_racing]

HIGGY WHERE ARE YOU????

I was hoping to get a review of this motor, im trying to decide if I should spend this much,

is Higgy all right???

[Motofool250r]

350 is a great motor but even better is a 330 +4MM stroker for a true size of 344cc (same size as 350 but has more low end torque)

With low port timing will be like tractor power

[Velvet-Casket]

So what did you do to mount your gas tank on the new frame? I'm an attitude owner now and any other tips i need know about building one would be a big help. Thanks.

[JOHNNY FIVE]

You turn the brackets the opposite direction and they'll line up with your head stay.

[Velvet-Casket]

Ok thanks Johnny.

[2-330s]

Ok. So I haven't been around in awhile....
But we're looking for some help ☺
So higgy not trying to jack your thread but u jonny and velvet have Lrd frames.

A good buddy of mine is starting a attitude 450 build he will start a thread but a few quick answers could help get things moving. Thanks in advance.

R your frames 250r or 400ex geo?
What steering stem?
How do u like the ride?

(Ps this is not a conversion it was made as a 450)

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Not sure where higgy's at?Hasnt been on here for quite some time.I just recently finished building mine,and absolutly love it.I have the standard 250r set up.They also did a no link setup as well.Im not very knowledgable about a 400ex or 450 though,but all the parts i bought for it was 250r based,including the stem.Hope that helps.

[250Rjunky]

We need you to spend a bit more on your camera so we can see clearer pictures of you bas *** build!!

[250Rjunky]

so they censored that, what I meant to say was 'really neat' build.......

[JOHNNY FIVE]

I could never figure out how to post pictures on this site.Probably because I'm not to computer savy.I was able to post them on the .net site,but all I got is a camera phone.

[250Rjunky]

I could never figure out how to post pictures on this site.Probably because I'm not to computer savy.I was able to post them on the .net site,but all I got is a camera phone. OK well regardless the machine looks amazing. I have an LRD attitude frame with a 363 Sphynx.

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Ya,I've seen that bad mama jama.Super nice looking machine!I think I will be eventually going the sphinx route myself.Heard there pretty badass.

[sand_blaster]

Johnny do you have black plastic? I saw a decked out 250r in June & it had silver lakers blue frame?
Thought maybe it was yours

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Johnny do you have black plastic? I saw a decked out 250r in June & it had silver lakers blue frame?

Ya,I have black lakers and blue frame.Im not sure if I had my done in June.Only had it out 3 times so far but we're going to Winchester not this weekend but next,if you want to meet up with us?

[sand_blaster]

Lol wow I was totally planning for that weekend. Buuuttt it sounds like everything
is currently closed to riding. That obama thing..

[JOHNNY FIVE]

That's even effecting the dunes?That freigin sucks

[sand_blaster]

Yeah! Sandlake is closed, florence all staging areas are closed, but sand camping is allowed.
Anything blm & state forest is closed. I heard riley ranch is open. Theres that free parking lot in Winchester after half moon bay campground I'm trying to find out of that is open for staging or not yet.

[bnau267]

Those idiots mismanaging the other half my paycheck got the trails shut down in PA as well. Of course, there no one is working to enforce order....sure some folks will test that theory this weekend.

BTW - that's a really nice looking quad!

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Thanks man,and I thank we're going to take our chances.

[sand_blaster]

Yeah go for it. My dad lives in Reedsport & he checked it out this weekend. Halfmoon bay camground is open & the free parking lot is open, the very last parking lot is gated off. Discovry point is open for camping as well. Everything else is gated off.

[JOHNNY FIVE]

Thanks for the heads up.

[dustinshuler]

Does anyone know whatever happened to Higgy? His phone number is no longer his! He just disappeared????

[Higgy87TRX425]

Higgy's finally back, for those of you wondering I had some legal issues surronding a DUII. The state had a price that needed to be paid so I eventually/reluctantly HAD to take their offer!
