I know it's not a Honda, but here's my ride for the next couple of months. It's been tough parting with my Roll 250r's, but I had to do it to start on the front row.

Nice!!!! Is the Fulbore plastic?

Andy Lagzdins
12-06-2003, 07:48 AM
Yes, it's Fullbore. It took a bit of work to make it work with the IMS tank, but it turned out okay.

Andy, it looks great. Bryan got a Yamaha too and he hasn't even seen it yet. Mickey Dunlap is working his Four Stroke Tech magic to make it awesome. It seems like the first row is going to be all Yamaha's next year, except for just you Jeff!!!!!!

Thanks for the props, guys. Harlen, you don't have time to ride anymore! Bonnie- to what extent will you be covering the series next year? You are right, looks like the front row will be the "Yamaha Production Class". C'mon Honda, where are you? Oh yeah, and Jeff will be in there too.

I believe that is a duncan bumper. I am thinking PRM is a little tougher. But I think the ducan looks the best :confused:

Here is a view showing where to cut the Fullbore plastic around the cap area to fit the IMS tank.

Andy Lagzdins
12-07-2003, 05:25 PM
This view shows the brackets I made from front fender brackets for 250r Fullbore fenders. They are trimmed down and have new holes in them. The threaded inserts are already in the tank.

Andy Lagzdins
12-07-2003, 05:31 PM
This view shows the top bracket shape and angle. Also notice another bracket on the bottom that is mounted onto the frame using an existing hole. The same 250r brackets are used for these also.

Andy Lagzdins
12-07-2003, 05:36 PM
This shows the placement of the screws in the side of the plastic to mount onto the brackets.

12-07-2003, 06:39 PM
thanks! I have a couple more questions. Do you have a +1 stem with the GPR and what bend bars are you using with the GPR? How much difference in height is it from stock? and finally is there any kind of support under the hood area on the fullbore like the factory plastic?

Dunlap
12-07-2003, 07:45 PM
Bonnie here is a pic so Mr. Cook can see his new YFZ.

I made a .020 over Hi-comp. piston for it and the 250ex but there is no real market for it so I dont think I will do much with it.

I cut my GNCC team back to 6 riders this year because it was to much for me and I turned the day to day part of running the team over to my pit manager Mike Benson so I dont think I will be doing anything in the GNC at this time. The only reason we even race is to build better products for my market and that is the weekender that likes to play race his ATV.

Mickey, who will be piloting the Vforce for you in GNCC this year? And what class will they run? Just how big did you go with the motor on that one:eek2: ? Are there any good cams out for the V yet? One more thing since I'm picking you brain, Care to share any info on setting up the clutch for GNCC on that beast?
:D Good luck on the 04 season!!

I am running a +1 stem right now, but I'm trying a std. length as soon as I get the parts. I'm using Renthal atv bend Fatbars which are the equivalent of cr-hi bend. The GPR adds approx. 1". The whole setup is approx. 1" higher than stock at the grips. The Fullbore front plastic comes with brackets for the hood area, but I haven't been using them.

Orange and green is just about the most awesome color combo for a quad. Mickey did a sweet job on my Mojave. the thing rips for a 330cc 4-stroke and I get looks everywhere I race. No one can tell what it is. :) you might have seen it in the Dec '02 ATV Action magazine. Here it is...

Andy Lagzdins
12-19-2003, 06:58 PM
Ruthless-
I'll be running the 22" front XC's. My rear tire choice will depend on the conditions, but will be either the XCR's, XC's, or the new Holeshots which are coming out in the next few months- which will be basically a more aggressive XC(from what I was told). I always run 20" tires, unless we have another Hurricane GNCC like 2003, then I'll run XCT 22" rears- I always keep a set in the trailer.

Hey guys I am back from CA and want you to see a Demo of my new ride for 2004. A friend of mine is sending a pic to exadmin to post from a CD they gave me. Keep in mind that it was set up for MX and Desert racing. A few things were missing from a couple of my sponsors because they werent ready(hand gaurds, skid plates) but everything else is pretty much the same.
Look for the new pic soon from harlen.
