So...It's finally done! I transformed my boys '88 LT80 into what I thought and LT80R should look like:

• Moore motor/carb/intake/head/clutch
• Fox Racing Floats all around
• Custom front end ('86 LT250R a-arms, disk brakes, hubs, wheels)
• Motor/swing-arm bracing
• Rear carrier mod (to accept Fox Float)
• All bearings replaced (motor/transmission/axel)
• Powder coated everything
• Custom embroidered seat
• Meier plastics

My son took it out for a spin and his comments "it's way faster than before, easier to turn and I caught some big air and it felt like a pillow on the landing..."


Job done...


p.s. my avatar is what it used to look like...

 

Nice job!

 

 

Jack - he is sooooo thrilled with it's ridiculous power punch! It leaps off the line and screams to a blazing top end!
:t hanks:

 

I wonder what he'd think with my national motor..LOL
Glad he's having fun!

 

I think that takes race gas...right?

 

One way to find out.

 

LOL. Depends. Most mix 50/50 race gas and non ethanol premium.

 

yeah...I don't have easy access to either...so not in the cards right now, but, if he gets the bug to race, I'll be giving you a shout...

 

Few LT80's racing these days. Most don't have a dad to fab up neat stuff to fit shocks.
Drag racing, dunes, and adult pit bikes is where my motors go these days.
I'm sure the boy will be happy with it as is for a while.
