JRD CRF Hybrid build up!

[stocktires]

I wanted to document my build this time, like I wish I had done on my R. Anyway, this build will take untill around february I'm thinking, so it will be drawn out. I bought this quad for $4500 and it is a bit rough. Every bolt is frozen, which was hell getting it apart. The kicker fell off and it's overheating a bit. It needs a bit of TLC, way too much too list as I normally get a bit carried away when building a quad.

Half way torn down

Almost done. As you can see, even the nerf was frozen onto the frame. More pics this weekend.

Yeah, I didn't check it over good enough, but its still worth $4500 easy. Yes, everything will be PC'ed, blasted, or new. I'll have $10,000-12,000 into it when done, and it'll be extremely solid, no more ghetto. The motor will be mildly modded.

The colors are still being decided, but probably:
Black frame
sparkle red bottom arms and chrome tops
silvervein stem and swingarm
red plastic with carbon fiber
hipers

Can't wait to see the finish!

I assume that's a JRD frame right?? What are those two bars sticking out above the top shock eye on the second pic. The two horseshoe shaped bars?

The plastic mounts? The silver one is the mount, the black one is a line.

Just an update, I'm finally starting to make some progress. I'm getting new parts in here and there like bearings, brakes, etc etc.

Chassis: I really want to make this quad light, to get below 355lbs dry for freestyle, if possible. I ordered hipers and the front non-beadlocks (1.2lbs lighter) and I'm switching anything to aluminum that I can; like brake stay, hubs, shifter, and brake lever. Some milling will be going on also.

Motor: A stage 2 hot cam and a 13:1 wiseco piston is ordered. My Ferrera valves, springs, and titanium retainers are in. I should be sending it out to someone in a month or two for a top and bottom end rebuild. I'm still deciding on a builder. I'll probably get some light porting done.
