from looking at the pics, this frame certainly looks like it does in fact have the TRX250r/pro-trax front end on it. and the rest of it is for the zilla (plastics, rear suspension, etc.) very cool and unique either way. you should post on quadracer hq, those guys would love to see this!

I've been tempted to post this thread link over there. You should definitely join over there if you haven't yet! Only problem is that you have to do it via mobile.. there's a bug somewhere in the site, and your pc's AntiVirus will block the site..

That thing is awesome, and it reaaaaaaaally needs a shiny fat q pipe! LOL

few words to explain this: engineers and mass production. When there is both at work, things don't get the attention needed and things are OVER-ENGINEERED. I still wonder why honda/yamaha designed a new(inferior) chassis for their 450's. Why not take what worked awesome and modify it some? I am sure both could've got a walsh or laegers hybrid, take it apart, copy it to some part, change around a few things, but have it still be alot like our hybrids that worked awesome and many, even pro's would take over their factory bikes. I have seen many posts about hybrids and comments on them something like "I wish I never sold that walsh/laeger yz450f/crf450r hybrid, nothing handling even close to it".

I actually went to quadracerHQ to post this but got the same message about the virus. You said its safe to post from a mobile though?

I used to race with Bill B. back in the day, the guy who had the LT500 engine in a stock 250r chassis in WI. He was very fast on that thing. I remember in '01 or '02 he took 2nd with that quad in Open Pro-Am at Red Bud, back when some of the pro's ran that class. I also remember Doug Gust showing up at a local race at Demark (a mx track just outside of Green Bay) back in '00 with his Nac's 250r that he won the championship with and Bill held him off for about half the moto, it was pretty awesome to see. I think Doug expected to show up and have an easy win, which wasn't the case. There used to be some pretty fast local guys up here racing mx and Bill was one of the fastest on his LT500 powered TRX250R. Your right he did run a Aaen pipe on it.

the guy in wi. was Boyde Calvert, and he was very fast in the open class with his trx 250/lt 500, we used to run indoors against him in the winter, and that bike was amazing

ive been craving a LT500 bike after seeing a couple, but for sure the suspension would have to be worked

im thinking buying a trx450r roller and then having a fabricator i know plant the motor in it with a custom chromoly frame.


and for those that think the zilla motor sucks then, let them continue more cool bad *** big bores for us. likely they cant even start a hi comp zilla if they tried anyways.

Bringing back an old post, but I have two rare bikes. I have the Laeger built 250r 500 that was in 94 magazine article, also a jp racing 500 250r geometry
