My New Jrd Front End!

[Davemx250r]

Heres a pic of my R after the winter rebuilt, i gusseted and pc'ed the frame,totally rebuilt the motor,top and bottom, got a jrd +3+1 front end with elka shocks. Pretty sweet ride. Tell me what you think.

[RiPPiNiTuP7]

Very sweet :eek:

[ridered03]

very very nice!!!!!, if you dont mind me asking,How much for the whole front end???

[Davemx250r]

A-arms were 850. SHocks were 700 but i got them used, they are 18 3/4" shocks,same length as what the lobo kit uses, but you could fit a 19.25 shock on them easily.

[YLW400]

you must remember, this is an R, not an EX, almost every R rider (myself) runs +1 forward a-arms

P.S. Very nice Quad Dave! Im finishing up on my huge rebuild also

[J25]

thats nice, how much better is i then stock, is the rid alot better now?

[blood red]

Those a-arms the nicest I've seen yet. They look very strong. Very nice front end, That +1 forward will work great for ya. Nice Elkas.:eek2:

nice bike. any other pics?

[Sparks425Ex]

Looks Great. What type of price was there on those a arms?(If ya don't mind)

Let us know how they feel...

[crap-banshee32]

looks sweet!!! im looking into getting a long travel front end sometime this season..

[Davemx250r]

a-arms were 850. The ride is awsome, but i dont even have them tuned in yet,i havnt even messed with any adjustment and their awsome. iv only been able to hit the whoops and rythems though because my big double has a huge 12" deep water hole in front of it so i cant tell you how it does on hard impacts. How ever.if any body buys this front end i highly recommend getting a 19.25 shock instead of what lobo uses(18.75 shock) waisted travel that should be used if you ask me. but even with 18 3/4 shocks there is atliest 2 or 3 inches more wheel travel than a 16" front end. All i have to say is its frikken sweet. but im kinda in debt with my parents now, im only 15 and its kinda hard to get a good paying job. Although im running expert local this year which pays cash and a nice 1st place prize money, that might help. when i turn 16 im hittin the nationals. But anyways, heres a side pic, ill get some action pics when the ground dries up.

Well does jrd have them instock?? do you figure i can have them by next week?? I have a race the first weekend in april and All i need now is lt a arms. The housers are backordered, Im looking everyware. the only brand I wont buy are hermman's. Please don't flame me. I don't think there's anything wrong with them. i just don't want them. So if anybody can help me out that would be awsome. +3+0 400ex Lt a arm 19 1/4 shocks. either gual wing or low mount houser type. Just not hermman as i stated above.

looks like shiny maier to me :confused:

[Davemx250r]

Hehe, i got all of you fooled! Its the regular OLD maier plastic! But i took a buffer to it and got all the scratches out, then used some MOP N' GLO works like a dream! And it doesnt come off! unless you scrub it off. It goes on a lil sticky but once its on and dries it stays on a shines like awsome! As for a-arms. I ordered mine on a thursday and got them tuesday, but that was over the weekend. If you order them today you should have them in 3-4 days from now. He has everything in stock. Im not sure if he makes +3+0 for 400ex though. You would have to call him. http://www.jrdmech.com

[YLW400]

Where are you from Dave? I don't think they offer it in 3+0....at least they didnt a month ago. It is basically Roll geometry, so it is 3+1...The reason I cancelled my order (fully adjustable Axis and JRD) was because it was 3+1.. Now I got PEP ZPS and Gibsons.....which are also 3+1...LMAO silly boy I am

[Davemx250r]

Im from sothern missouri. West Plains to be exact. If any of oyu went to macon you might recognize my friend. Eugene gunter he placed 4th in 250A down there.Him and dustin wimmer battled it out. I just took the bike out today and rode it, it does awsome when you dont have a sprained ankle. But i managed to case a 70' tripple. hurt, sprayed my ankel bad, its like the size of an orange. But the shocks soaked it up,it was my fault, i had the tip of my left foot barely on the foot peg. But they work prtty good i think. Their still a lil stiff cuz they were serviced but they should soften up.

[forum]

I just ordered some jrd +3+1 Long travels for my 400ex. I hope the +1 isn't to badd. I heard +1 on a 400ex isn't always good but i went with it anyway. I figure if doug roll's a lobo's are +1 then they can't be that bad.

[racerx573]

Did you use your stock R spindles on them?? Let me know, I may be ditching Houser for those...

[Chanman420q]

im not jealous... i swear :rolleyes:

I just ordered some 19" fronts for a +4 Houser front end, but I am having some trouble getting the Housers ordered, and am about to call it quits on them. Does anyone know how different the valving is on them compared to the Housers?? And again, Dave did you use stock R spindles??

[nacs400ex]

Awesome quad, cant wait till I get my Elkas onto my 400ex.

[QuadTrix6]
