Ground Up Build

[dave5.0]

We've all got the skill doit. And at half the price you're doing it for.

The question is.... after all that TLC, can you really let it go?

Does the monkey dance if you offer him money?

The question is does he dance if you throw him burritos? And modelo

Hahaha, don't sell that bike!

 

Nothing like escaping to the garage to wrench on the bike and get away from the wife and kids for a couple of hours.

[kenyounot]

No wife or kids the banshee will fill that void. I have to do it before another relationship because they suck the money out of you even more with very little return.

if you want just a trail rider just get a stock shee, dont buy one in pieces its to costly,

Here is the way i see it.

1 you will spend way more then you think

2 you most likely will not finish

3 it will have issues due to lack of experience guiding the build, that's if it gets finished.

 

Just some facts i've picked up along the way. Buy some good parts though,i love a part out sale ad.

[dave5.0]

Part out! Part out!

Just coming back from my 2 year break.....damn it I want my old chassis back. Starting over sucks.

[rockenrail]

Better listen to the advise these guys are giving you!

I just finished a ground up build starting with a frame for a yfz450 and I have about $5500 not counting the motor  and I purchased more used then new parts so I can see you having way more then that into it.

You also mentioned only buying the frame and harness used, well there is a lot more parts you will need to buy used because you can not purchase them new.

And why buy a new swinger for probably $900 when you can get a good used one for $200- $500

Hello, sorry for not being on recently been busy with work. Update is a arms spindles hubs and shocks are going on today. Idk why I'm getting all this negative feedback. First of all it will be completed. Once I get something in my head I wont give up until I see it through. Second, where are you getting those prices on a swing arm. I just ordered a +4 round carrier style for 250 new.

 

 

Also need help, while installing the a arms the top a arm looks like it has a lot of space. Am I missing a space of some sort? I'll post a pic in a couple.

Do you have the dust caps on? Six on each side or two caps per bolt.

[kenyounot]

Yes the dust caps were on. I found some random spacers in the box and they fit like a glove so I guess that was it.
