Hey everyone guess what I did this weekend...custom fit an LT500 to fit on an LT250r frame...that thing has the speed of the 500 with the handling of the 250r....man this is awesome.. I will post pics in my gallery as soon as my digital camera comes in....but I just had to tell you guys about this!!!!

 

Great! You are the poster child now..... We want a full run-down on your processes and techniques... and things you encountered in the process... Photo's too would be great!

I've been working on a hybrid for quite a while now, but I'm a long long way from finishing it. (Complete removable rear sub-frame, No-link rear shock/suspension, 3+ A-arms, 10" travel front/rear, and the list goes on and on.... I'm in search of a sub 285# quad when I'm done.... with around 100HP... should be a real arm stretcher!

Details GPBOY!!!! We want all the details!

 

would you like fries with that duneaddict just kidding i would also like to know how it went and what you did

 

Hmmm, That did come off a little demanding didn't it??? LoL!
Sorry.

Inquiring minds want to know! Feed us... INPUT, INPUT......

 

Your funny dune addict. I think you scared him away.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I had one before,didn't like it because it had a trinity stage junk motor in it,heck my Zilla I have now stock was faster then that P.O.S.,wish I had that frame now for the Vito engine I have now.

 

Apparently he really didn't do this in a weekend! Ha!

I've got a pretty good idea about the install... I just don't have my motor finished yet, so it's hard to see the 'little' things (Sprocket alignment, etc.) It's always good to hear other folks trials and tribulations... and learn from others mistakes.

Zuk... what year chassis was it? I'm working on an '85 which should be the lightest year... I won't even consider the stock suspension, as they didn't handle all that well with a tiny motor in it... let alone a real one... I've been doing some major suspension redesign and putting it on a serious diet.
I'm building a pretty big stroker motor for this one (With the help of the Doc)
Add a little chemical soup and this should be a pretty fun toy. My biggest hope/desire is to keep it looking as close to stock as possible... Not a drag machine, but an all around dune/hill shooter bike.

100HP in a 285# chassis should really rip!

I can't wait to really paddle some A$$ and say "What???? It's just an old worn out 250" Think anyone would belive me?

 

heres a squeze. my cusin put a 160 motor into a 50 cc bike chassis, its the fastes little quad i know and its insane to wheel bc i weigh more than the bike. hahaha your lt250/500 sounds interesting. like to see pics though.

 

Duneaddict,I had the same year,and your right about the suspension,what length you going on the connecting rod?155mm.?What bore you going?93mm?Do you have any pic's on the progress of your project??Hope it turn's out,sound's pretty nice so far.

 

Hey everyone...just for the record..i didnt do all that stuff lol...i've been rebuilding my engine though.....i just starteed this thread so that you guys would come and i could see all of your project bikes...lookin nice everyone!!
