My Lobo Build

[danhung11]

Picked this up about a year ago, finally getting started. Just picked up everything from the powdecoater tonight, it looks great I think. Plus, I had the chrome redone. It's going to be a slower build, only missing shocks. Glad I didn't sell it last fall. Enjoy!

Here is when I picked the bike up, it had 4 layers of paint/coating on it and the chrome looked horrible.

PinitATV fixed my subframe and turned a new support out of solid stock.

He also added a flag mount for me, thanks Jody!

How are you going to set this one up? What kinda motor will you be epuiping her with? Let us have some more details please!

[red88r]

Very nice color....really pops. Roll frames are my favorite. Maybe someday I'll own one. :(

[troybilt]

Absolutely gorgeous!! I only see one problem, how are you going to decide on which one to ride?!! I guess I could always ride the other one.. haha.

[Burns310r]

Amazing color on that frame. Cant wait to see it done. Keep us posted.

X 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DnB_racing]

VERY NICE!!!! I will be keeping my eye on this one, with your attention to detail it should be an amazing quad

[SilverLake250R]

Love it Dan! I'll have to come back out for sure now so we can ride Lobo's together!

[danhung11]

Thanks guys, it's been knuckle bashing thus far and I haven't even got to the good stuff.

Troy, anytime bud because I'm looking forward to giving Elsinore a whirl. :D

Marc, I'll hold you to another dune trip and I'll bring you a box of Franzia! Haha.

[troybilt]

What color of plastic and graphics did you have in mind? I loving that blue. Mike did a hellova job on your frame.

I still have the green plastics, with same graphics. I have a new seat and quadtech seat cover, I'm undecided on the plastics at this point, thinking a set of silver fullbores would be nice, even white. Who knows...

I agree, had a nice conversation with Mike yesterday he has work coming out of his ears which is good. He finally hired a sandblaster so he can focus on coating. He is meticulous, which is nice in his line of work.

[Motofool250r]

dan looks awesome dude what color brand of powder is that?

Thanks. The color is NIC Lollipop Blue over NIC Alien Silver. I need to take it in sunlight and snap some pics. Here is one my coater sent me in sunlight.

Local. If you want his contact information, just PM me.

[atv fan 28]

Looking good Dan!!! I really like the blue.

[D Bergstrom]

Great start Dan. The blue and chrome look is kind of familiar! Can't wait to see this finished, I know it will be awesome.

Doug

[danhung11]

Thanks Wayne and Doug! I already had some blue/black parts, so I wanted to carry out the same theme. I was going to do white again, but remember how much of a pain it was with oils, etc. The blue is really growing on me, I think my coater did a great job. Hopefully, I will be able to work some more on it this weekend. The radiator was a bear to work with in this frame, had to grind the bottom posts some and will need a new cap as the knobs on the PWR cap hits the frame rails.

[Mony25]

Yes the rads in these frames are a bare very very tight. I don't think you will find a rad cap that don't hit the frame the best one I had was oem and it still rub pretty hard. I ended up cutting the ear off my cap so it was easier to get on and off. If you find a cap that works I would love to know what it is. Looking great so far.

[danhung11]

As far as the radiator cap, I was thinking something like this. I want to think they are universal, but cannot confirm. I emailed the retailer to see if I could get some measurements, but they are only $10 and will probably pick one up or cut the ears off the current one.

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/High-Pressure-Radiator-Cap-22-24-Lbs,12995.html

I was able to spend a few more hours in the garage tonight and was able to assemble the front end. I also re-zinced all my hardware for $25 minimum charge. The place I took it to was $0.25/lbs, all I had was 40lbs.

Damm,
That bike sure looks familiar??? Where have I seen that color combo and those Roll Stickers before, huh? Any Ideas anybody?
Thanks Higgy!

Here is where is stands now, waiting on parts and saving up for my new shocks - undecided on PEP's or Custom Axis.

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd228/danhung11/245bb0b0.jpg

Higgy, don't worry our bikes won't look anything alike. I got all the decals from Chase (fastredrider44), bought a ton of them for around $20.

[8686]

Quad is looking great!

[t-jacker]

are those hardkor hubs?
i like!!

[danhung11]

Indeed. :D I was able to get my hands on a set of matching hubs, brake cover, and throttle cover.

I also have rebuild parts for the Hardkor hubs if anyone needs the info, since they closed their doors. :(

[norcalduner]

Holy crap!!! How'd I miss this ??? lol

I see the usual top notch build here Dan. But then again we expect nothing less from you :p I like how you "saved" that subframe and redesigned it even better. More pics please .....

[bholzgen]

Cant beat that price for vinyl! $20, looks sweet Dan!

[danhung11]

Made some more progress, wheels, tires, etc. Seat cover is not yet installed, ordered my shocks this week so those should be here soon. Very close to a roller...FINALLY! :D

[atv fan 28]

tighten that seat cover up Dan.. :)

[hawaiiysr]

looks awesome Dan! cheapest thing on that quad are the tires haha!

[tbone250r]

My god this build has me drooling. I'll have to pick me up a LOBO some day

[hontrx265r]

Nice work.. I like how your keeping it very Roll/duncan/goldwest style.. ie. shamrocks. ims parts etc.. Good detail.. What shocks did you go with?

[danhung11]

Thanks everyone, its coming together nicely. I went with Custom Axis, triple rate dual adjust piggy back up front, and dual rate fully adjustable rear. They should be plush, can't wait to get them.

[trx400ex]

Very nice! How does the lobo compare to the protrax?

[danhung11]

I haven't ridden the Lobo long enough to tell. It will be nice comparison, as they will be both setup for me - same shocks.

[danhung11]

Micah is the man! Had these on my doorstep in two weeks from order date. Time to get things moving along...

[red88r]

Nice! That didn't take long. I love my Axis shocks on my 89. Is the CT330 your putting in from your green bike?

[danhung11]

Yes, that's the motor I plan to run in this. I am switching it over to a CR ignition, and hopefully sending it out for more port work and a fresh top end. If it's not enough, I've been looking at those CPI top ends. That thread that Burns started has my attention... :mad:

[Burns310r]

The Sphynx is a bruitis. I still dont have it dialed in yet and its an animal. Currently getting my dome recut because the squish isnt close enough, so its going to make even more power yet.

I also had to order a 15T front sprocket for it. Something about pulling 4th gear wheelies on the MX track with 14/37 gearing didnt make sense. HAHA...


Dan, that is one fine looking machine. That is the color im painting my Laeger when i redo it in a year or two. Its the same color as my last frame and is amazing in person.

Nice build man... And nice shocks. Axis all the way.

[dustinshuler]

Looks awesome Dan. I cant wait to see this thing on the ground!

[Motofool250r]

dan now that u have those tires how they look in person good quality?

they have a set that will fit my buggy thinking about it.

[danhung11]

Yes, the Goldspeeds are a quality tire. I'd probably request a hard compound if they are available for something with weight to it. These are a medium compound and they feel soft to the touch - more spongy than anything.

[Motofool250r]

cool, i bet you love them custom axis shocks!

[danhung11]

Finally on the ground...waiting for some parts. Still need to do the brakes, electrical, and some other odds and ends.

Top notch as always Dan!!

[CorvetteZ06]

Looks great!

[DoonRider]

awesome!

[HAYESTRX250R]

That is one *****n ride.

[jjohns5]

Nice build Dan, did you ever get around to using this Duncan race pipe. I can't tell what pipe you have on that, the Eliminator or Race?

[danhung11]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Josh, this is that pipe I got from you. You did a nice job sealing it together, it was a bear to pull apart.

Nice, sorry about that, I think I went a little overboard...

[dustinshuler]

I love it Dan! You are knocking it out of the park with this one!!! Great attention to detail.

Thanks Dustin. Trying to keep up with you man! Good chattin with you yesterday.

[laeger400]

Looking very good dan!

[danhung11]

Thanks Jerry! It's one thing after another with this frame, need to rework some things with the cooling, and figure out my air intake setup.

[laeger400]

I know someone that could give you a hand.

[havinnoj]

Looks good Dan!

[dustinshuler]

Where are you Dan?

[danhung11]

It's close, had a few hiccups. Still need to take the front end apart due to clearance issues with the king pins. I've ordered three sets from a few companies, and decided to just reuse the old ones with new hardware. This bike should be done in about a month, hopefully. Aside from that, the kids have been keeping me busy and I haven't made it out in the garage much.

How's yours coming along?

[bholzgen]

Looks awesome Dan!

[SilverLake250R]

Dan, you owe my company hours of work, I cant stop staring.

[leager-n-ky]

Looking really good Dan...

[danhung11]

Check out what troybilt was able to come up with, should pull everything together for the build nicely.

Thanks Troy!

[troybilt]

My pleasure Dan! That was a fun set to design, nice you had a good idea up front too what you wanted. I think they will turn out great. Should be printed and on their way to you by now... I'll have to check.

[JohnBeton]

awesome decals !

[chopp124]

hey man looks awesome can u get me a couple measurements?. i just bought a roll today and want to change a few things around

[atv fan 28]

Top notch build as usual Dan.. good work!!!!

[red88r]

WOW! Very nice job bringing her back to top notch condition. Are those the green fenders from your old Arens bike?

[protrax]

Very Nice I like the color combo

[danhung11]

Thanks guys, I think the graphics did a great job tying the colors together.

red88r: Yes, these are the same plastics off the Aren's bike. I have a white set with white hood, don't have graphics yet for them.

[danhung11]

Just waiting on my chain, ordered one from T&T so hopefully it will be here this week. Will need to add fluids, and hopefully fire it up this week.

[red88r]

I just love both of your quads. I always enjoy looking at mx quads. No two are ever the same. Miss seeing them at the races. All you hear and see now is all those 450's. They all sound the same and none really stick out or grab your attention.

[chopp124]

thats sick! im starting my roll build shortly. i cut and moded my frame to my specs and its off to powder tommorow.

[bansheebc]

Man that turned out amazing. Love the attention to detail.. Little video when you can.

[danhung11]

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Bike started on third kick! Need to work out jetting a tad, will be ready to ride soon.

[etccb]

Looks killer dan.
Great job on the graphics as well troy.

Haha yeah kind of just random!! I actually came back to post my yfz 450 up for sale. N after logging in i got an email where steve bumped his 09 build thread. So figured id stop back inand check out what going on in the r world. And look what i come back too!! 2 lobos being built in the first 5 threads?!?!? Is it a sign?? Cause it sure is feeling like one!!! :D

[danhung11]

You shouldn't come into this section and tell folks you went to the dark side, especially on a YFZ. :D and yes, it's a sign! Good to see you're still lurking around these days, still have pictures of your Lobo somewhere. That was a sweet ride!

Haha trust me i dont say i own a yfz with my head held high. Only reason i really got it was because i got a good deal. Its basically new with 20 hrs and i know the background so couldnt turn it down. But trust me i miss the whole atv thing or should i say R thing!! Deff miss the lobo though, it was a sweet ride! Times are good right now though so maybe this sign i sense will begin something new?!?!? :confused: :devil:

Very NICE Dan...I'm loving the blue frame!!
