Well I bled the brakes today and fired her up also, I need to do a little tuning and rejet it. (just a little on the fat side) I also put on the new pipe clamp from TM too. All that is left to do is double check all the nuts and bolts and make sure all is tight, but cotter pins in and then put the ac skid plate on also. I will have it all done tomorrow so Saturday we can take it to redbud for quad nationals and ride it around insted of walking everywhere. I will have pics of it done tomorrow evening all done. The walsh will be done soon now, except for having the shocks set up for me. So if any of you guys are at readbud for nationals and you see us riding around stop and say hi.

 

LSR is done minus a few other upgrades



Well the lsr is done and rideable, minus the rear rims are not black or have new rear tires yet. Then a steering stabilizer is needed, cr250r ignition, and a compression release so she can start it on her own. And I will get some action pics for you all this weekend and post them just as soon as I figure out how to post it. And she said it just seemed approtiate to where her new gear to ride today, since it was the inspiration for the color combination and theme for the lsr.

And she has already got it dirty to,she seen a muddy spot in the drive way and just had to go through it a couple of times.

 

Well I got the walsh as a roller and got the quick change cover on and the motor tightened in the frame. Shock ressi clamps and ressis mounted, wiring in along with the cdi. Slow progress with low funds rite now. But getting to work on it finally and not so many house projects pulling me in every direction as there were earlier this year.

Got the rear rims on, a gift from a friend of mine. And the shock covers finallycame in from sf racing. Its getting there almost done completely.
I gotto take the pipe off and re-seal it, its leaking a little bit, need to re-jet it down also, its a little fat. And I need to cut about a 1/4" off of the outer tierod ends, they are rubbing on the upper a-arms. Let me know what yall think of them both.

Well I have been working on the walsh some lately, and the more I do the more things I find that arent working in my favor. The exhaust fits fine but the silencer doesnt, its not even close to the subframe at all. This is just way different than the lsr and a stock frame.

 

It sticks out like that so the can doesn't get mashed by the rotor on big landings. On mine I have a pretty long aluminum spacer maybe you can find something similar?

 

It is too far out and its not even close to being like strait with the subframe, and its up against my shock real bad and my edpansion chamber is touching my rad hose to. I'll get it all worked out, its just taking some time.

 

Damn the more I look the more I see what you are saying...I didnt even realize it was hitting the shock but if you look close you can see that it is/will be...I have read the walsh frame was designed to use certain pipes? Mabye the LRD wasnt one of them?

 

you shouldn't rag on me for taking forever. Look how long you're taking! you gonna have to wait til next year to ride.......lol

 

Yah i know, but atleast I don't build it and then ride it a few times and tear it down. Build it again and tear it down again. You know i gotta bust ur balls about it bro, and i know you found a sweet deal on a leager frame now too.

 

Yeah I wont be tearing that down......or at least I don't plan on it.

 

Yah whatever, ill believe it when i see it not happen.

 

Well I know its been awhile since I posted anything on this build, well the hot pink lsr for the woman is mostly done. The only thing left to do for it is to powder coat the wheels all black for the dunes and get the compression release done on the cool head so she can start it on her own, and a new set of rear tires too.
The walsh is taking longer for the lack of funds riter now, I still need to order front tires and rear tires/ chain/ +2+1 chrome stem/ skid plate/tierod heims, and get the shocks redone by SF racing. But the most important thing is to figure out how to make the pipe fit the frame correctly, it hits the frame or the rear shock spring when I install the silencer and it makes the silencer stick out real far from the frame ( like 4+ inches ). I did get the new heims for the a-arms and the nose piece for fullbore plastic and the stem stop bolts, the ninjas I ordered from walsh dont work because they changed that sometime ago. And I will be making my own ball joints since they dont offer them for the 2000 a-arms I have, if I want I can sent them the arms and have the cups cut off and new style welded back on and rechrome the uppers and have to repowder the lowers for like $600 plus shipping back and forth and blasting also.
I am currently doing what I can get done and I will be saving up for some new plastics ( hopefully fullbore ) I called them and they said they were still gonna make R plastics.
