XFR nerf bars landed today! Glad I spent the extra $ for the blue option rather than plain aluminum. Color matched pretty well!
-
New tank arrived! Here are some pics:
Just waiting on JDS weld-in peg inserts, XFR Nerf Bars, and MX -1 Swingarm from JL Engineering now.

Alba doesn’t set them up. They just send the numbers and Elka builds them. The v
alving is usually off.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkGood to know! I set the ride height correctly last night. Excited to see the difference soon. Right now it's on a lift waiting for other parts haha. Making some changes soon! The Blue XFR Nerf bars just got delivered to replace the Alba's, I found a used blue IMS 5.6 tank to replace clear one, and I will be swapping my swingarm out. I ordered the TT / Lightweight one from JL Engineering by mistake so I've got the correct MX one on the way!
More pics soon!

Ehh... Elka is reputably bad at setting shocks up. Set tire pressure, set ride height, set alignment, set compression, set rebound.

Now that I think about it Alba Racing set them up if that matters. Currently looking for threads on Elka initial setup for Legacy 3's.

Yfz 450 front dual piston calipers bolt right up if you ditch the dust shield and they 08+ yfz front master cylinder is an upgrade to the banshee master cylinder. Steel lines will be a help as well if you don’t already have them. All told with used calipers with good pads and the master cylinder it costs about $100~ to do.
Cool good to know! If i end up doing any brake mods i'll be sure to take pics.

It was fun to see your build come together, me and my bro inlaw have very similar mx/woods setups his is almost identical other than the engine setup (not sure if your rear tires rub the nerfs a bit too like my bro's as they are very close), I am not crazy about the alba built in heal guards, as it makes it very acward to kick and with a -1 swing it rubs 20" tire and limits the tires as far as paddle tires go. I run mx nerfs with no gads but that might be a bit dangers, we will see i gess
That said fun watching your build and see how you changed it up to best suit you and your riding area, it was like building them all over in a more fun fun way watching someone else drain there pocket book for a change
Thanks man!! It's been fun but definitely not cheap lmao. Glad I took a ton of pics along the way this time.
As much as I like them my tires BARLEY clear these Alba nerf bars with the -1 swing arm. I plan on getting the XFR ones soon with the heel plates since I keep breaking peg bolts and inserts on the frame haha:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/182963894986
https://www.jdscustoms.com/product/yamaha-banshee-peg-thread-inserts/
Those XFR's have the extra mounting points on the heel guards to take pressure off of the peg bolts. The "pegs" that come with the XFR's are also solid steel compared to the hollow tube Alba has. We'll see how it goes!
I plan on completely overhauling the frame next winter as well. Weld in new threaded peg inserts, weld in gusset kit, hack off old brake line brackets, candy blue powder coating etc. I've got a blue IMS 5.6 Gallon tank on the way as well. The clear one was cool but decals don't stick to it at all and 100% blue will look nice! Also toying with the idea of running DC conversion eventually for some better lighting and maybe some sort of info cluster with sensors. Also need to check out brake mods! I guess YFZ calipers offer better braking performance in the front and I've seen folks install Brembo calipers on the rear.
More pics to come! and videos as well I promise haha.

Don’t forget to actually take the time to set the shocks up. Poorly setup shocks can make a great build flop.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYea I definitely need to adjust the rear shock after installing the -1 swingarm. Fronts likely need adjusting as well. I got these new as a set valved for my weight but have yet to adjust them. Every now and again it'll bottom out on jumps lol.

Curious, why didn’t you swap to yfz450 front calipers and master cylinder?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI honestly was not aware of that particular mod lol. Checking it out now.

looks great, and no more crab walk from the rear. the factory chain tensioners suck.
lol crab walk is a good way to put it! Too much adjustment required on those stock swingarms.

JL def. builds some of the best looking stuff out there.
For sure! cannot beat the price either.

Finally got my JL Engineering -1” Swing arm on today! Along with the swing arm I also installed the TM Designworks “slide-n-glide” kit and a sprocket / rotor guard combo from JDS Customs. I love how it turned out!

Yea not the best but it’ll have to do lol
-
Back up and running! Need to clean up the weld a bit and paint it but otherwise it’s fixed. He welded a small, solid steel cylinder over the hole about 1 inch in diameter and about an inch tall. Just tapped a hole in it for the stock steel bolts and it’s all done!

Thanks man! I bought the slide-n-glide kit for $129 off eBay:
I dig the look and the quality but I'll know more when I get it the swingarm installed haha.

how does she run on the track?
So far so good! I did shear a foot peg off last week on a jump though lol. I managed to get the broken bolt out on the right side but the nut welded inside the frame on the left side broke free in there. I’m trying to get a threaded steel spacer welded in place on the left side since my nerfs require a half inch spacer anyway. Out of commission for now but will post more pics when I get my swingarm on. Waiting on sprocket/guards from JDS to do that. Last piece will be the custom seat!

Just ordered the sprocket and rotor guards from JDS customs today too. More pics soon!
