SNT Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks man! I'm in the flat lands of Yorkton in the province of Saskatchewan located in Canada. Quote
SNT Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Posted September 18, 2011 started the upper a arm mount and figured out the stearing mount today.. not much too update tho Quote
Strm Trpr Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Looks awesome man! I hope you're blueprinting this. You might be able to sell this as a kit. How do you plan to handle the a-arms? Quote
06specialedition Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Can't wait to see the progress. Looking great so far Quote
SNT Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Posted September 19, 2011 finshed upper a arm mounts today Quote
SNT Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Posted September 19, 2011 starting the a arms next here are the ball joints Quote
SNT Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks man, i kind of dont know what i should do for a-arms, maybe you have some suggestions? I'll be running 450r shocks 18.25 eye to eye. Just because i cant afford long travel shocks at the moment. Quote
Coupelx Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 thats great looking! i wanted to do this but set it up to use suspension off the new yfz-r. ive still got a hundred other projects in the way though. Quote
SNT Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Posted September 19, 2011 Decide how long you want them to be. Are you riding woods mostly or MX? A good general width would be 47" wide at the outside of the front tires. If you only ride trails you might want to make it more like 46". Look at 250R long travel a-arms from the different manufacturers and get some ideas. 18.25" is a long shock. I dont know if you want to build a gull wing style arm or straight arms. i want the front width to be 50" tire to tire. i wanna use a gull wing arm.. should i move the upper shock mount into the centure of the quad?

camatv Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 looks kewl. i have been looking at the kfx front end.. Quote
