The other quad in the picture is my girlfriends quad. My LTR was behind me.

that one is sitting in the corner of the pic i think

Not mine.

What is it about the Honda motor that's better than the Suzuki?

It's a real solid proven motor.

this thing is gonna make people chit!

Oh yeah

 

just with bolt ons it makes about 50 hp is all

 

my mistake

 

I think your right too.

 

about the hp numbers?

 

Can't wait to see more progress on this thing!!

 

so glad you decided to do it

 

I want to see what kind of horsepower increase. Since this motor is powerful on a dirt bike (300lbs?) I hope another 100lbs, and pulling a heavy a$$ axle and two rims and tires doesn't rob it of its power?

 

Don't forget that he also looses weight due to the battery, efi, starter, and lights being removed!

 

+1!

 

thats whats up

 

Step one: Cut off original rear shock mount.

Step two: Clean up crappy cut.

 

lol i thought you would of been further along with it

 

Me too but I've been waiting to see if somebody would do a frame swap for one that was already set up for a crf motor but it hasn't gone through yet so I've been accumulating parts and tonight i thought i would start.

 

not a bad idea. are you doing the welding and cutting yourself?

 

Cutting only for me and matching up pieces of metal for brackets, i have some people that can weld so i should be set.

 

Yep sounds like you should be good. How long do you think itll take to finish?

 

Honestly i can't put a time frame on it, either once school starts i'll be working on it more or less.

Its the hot setup these days in the hybrid world. Walsh is charging a fortune for his frames with ltr geometry and mounts for a CRF motor. First one was done in France if I recall correctly. It takes some major surgery in the rear to get it all to work.
Before you start cutting and especially before you start welding make sure you put that frame in a jig or else it can tweak quite a bit from all the heating and cooling. You could possibly pull it out of square by alot if you don't. I would use square tubing for the jig and tack weld the frame to it in at least 4 or 6 places.

Hey I see a harbor fright ATV lift in that photo lol. Man I love that place.

I'll have to make sure it doesn't tweak, thanks for the heads up!

Yep my girlfriend got that for me for Christmas sure does come in handy, i needed to modify it a bit because it cant reach across my quad with the nerf bars on it. Also what i need is a HF stool because i'm tired of using a tire.
