My "Tard"
« on: August 14, 2008, 03:48:18 PM »
Ok, so I hardly ever post here, I'm usually stuck over at ThumperTalk, but I figured you guys might like this :mrgreen:

I just recently got some 17's for my 500 Hybrid :-D

I only have one picture of my bike with 17's, my camera died...

I got the new wheels about 2 weeks ago, and this thing is ridiculously fun, plus I can kill my buddies around town on their sportbikes, plus, in about 15 minutes I can throw on my dirt wheels and go do a 80' double.

Anyways, I'll give you the lowdown on some of the specs:

1994 KX500 Engine transplanted into a 2005 KX250F Chassis
Wiesco Top End
Hot Rods Crank and Connecting Rod
Boyesen Reed Valves
Tusk Clutch w/ HD springs
Pro Circuit Works CR500 Pipe and Silencer - Modified
Excel Front Rim
Warp 9 Rear Rim
15-40 Gearing
EBC 320mm Front Brake
Custom Coolant Catch Bottle
KX250F Airbox matched to KX500 Boot
Custom Radiator Hoses
Wiring Harness and Hidden Lights
Plus a whole crap load of other little things............

It's got a thin layer of dust and grime on it, so it's not a shiny as it could be, and you can see where my pipe is cracked by the mount.  d**n thing vibrates so much...
 

Here are some pictures of the bike before the 17's, so you can see some of the other mods:

The lights are out of an Acerbis Cyclops light.  I couldn't get it to stay stable enough, the rubber straps kept breaking or coming loose.  I just mounted them on my numberplate because it is more stable and I think it looks better.

I've seen this bike on youtube.nice work.when you say hot rods crank, do you mean the flyweights or just the rod?

And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....
