Project HOUSER YZ426 build

[WKY400EX]

Some of you all out there already know that I'm in the process of building a HOUSER YZ426 quad. For those of you who don't, I thought it'd be fun to keep everyone posted on the build with pics and what-not.

I'm still waiting to get some parts such as radiator, exhaust, 250r rearend, bar clamp, etc. So, I've only got it partially built.

For now, it's got the following:
2002 YZ426 motor
2002 Houser frame/subframe, no-link swingarm, anti-vibe stem
PEP ZPS no-link rear
Laeger +2 a-arms
TCS comp. adj fronts
RPM Dominator axle

Just got the motor installed yesterday afternoon, so I'll post some pics when I get home today.

What do you think so far?

[gibson400ex]

it think it is awesome!!!!!!

[WKY400EX]

Thanks. It's slow going right now, because I've got to order/recieve some parts before I can finish the assembly. I'll post more pics as I progress.

[roostin_dale]

[QuadJunkies]

looks sweet and im lovin the color scheme

[WKY400EX]

I'm so psyched about getting this up and running.:devil: Any input or constructive criticism is appreciated. What color plastic, hood, and seat do you think would look good? I was thinking maybe some blue or white plastic w/red Quadtech style hood, and an American flag seat cover. I just thought it'd be unique? Then again, I'm really diggin K&K's new graphic kits!

[sam the brave]

red white and blue would be sweet do it

[MotoX3]

I personally dont like the looks of that DG bumper and would ditch it for an AC,PRM or Duncan...imo

[WKY400EX]

Thanks for the comment. The DG is off my 400EX. I'd rather have and AC, but I'm more worried about getting this thing running right now!:D I'll definetly work on looks after I get this thing rolling.

[WKY400EX]

Things are still going kind of slow, but I've actually only got a few more things to do now. I've got to: rebuild rear caliper, service rear shock, mount chain, get silencer, get & mount radiator. It's a lot closer than it was just a few weeks ago. Anyway, here's some updated pics. Please excuse the mess in the garage.:)

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

[JessetheKid]

looks nice man i wanna do that to my R

if your lookin for a radiator a friend of mine has one for sale, its a jrd oversized 250r w/ the shrouds brand new in the box, email me for details
crazyracer31r@aol.com

[WKY400EX]

Thanks for the compliments. I actually already bought a radiator. Should be here today or tomorrow.

[RMX500]

that's wicked. all i can say is PLEASE son't put crappy *** R style plastic on it. go for something that not everyone and their shaved-fender dog has.

[WKY400EX]

The frame is designed for 250R plastics. I don't know how hard it'd be to put 400EX on there. Also, I've thought about Laker Custom instead of Maier & a scoop?

[RMX500]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo voice trails off

I knew it. *sigh*

Anyways in that case, go Fullbore.
