So sick!!

 

SAAWEEEEETTTT!!!! Soooooo sexy man! Nice work! LOVE all the custom and one off, and/or top notch parts! Such inspiration for anybody that's into minis! Although,.... should've been a V3 Just bustin your balls lol This just made my day haha

 

Thanks man! Trust me, a V3 would much easier for sure! And I'd have one... But I wasn't successful in explaining to my wife that a V3's $4000 price tag is that much better the $2400 V2.

 

So what did you do about the subframe and tank mounts to build it up as is right now?

 

For the Sub frame I tacked on some aluminum tabs drilled and tapped them. Same thing for rear fender. The tank has tabs to hold the shrouds, just for now. Bean (member on here) is in the middle of making some super trick carbon fiber fuel tanks!

 

Well it turned out awesome, congrats on the build!

 

Thanks... Check out this foam mold bean made for the carbon fiber tank...

 

excellent work

 

I kinda want to follow suit with my v2 now, that tank looks like its going to be awesome!

 

Ben's work doesn't set the bar... It is the bar! I think from all his builds in the passed... He has quality that meets or exceeds any part market on the planet!

You know my vote... Do it! (As long as you have the fab skills/tools. To buy everything I made would be $1000's. No lie.

 

Here is a few more pics of the tank plug.

 

When will these tanks be done. And are you putting a price on them??

 

See... He is like a god behind his tools! That looks like it came out of a CNC machine!!!

 

Yeah that is amazing! Nice work man!

 

Haha with that price tag and my amateur skills, ill stick with red and white plastics! But question about the tank, how do you get the threads for the shrouds and cap (i do realize the above pic is just a model too lol)? Sorry just a noob when it comes to this stuff.

 

That is a super nice build,That gas tank is going to be sweet!! But on the rear shock topic, LXR all have had preload plus rebound and Hi and Low speed compression adjustment shocks then add the linkage,,

 

Fixed my post! ;-)

 

^ damn you!!! LOL, I didn't know anyone else is doing that dang... So your telling me I gotta make it a linkage bike too...? I like your style! I think I'll do that soon as tank is sorted.

 

Lol... Yeah even the basic dnm shocks that come on a lxr are high/low adjustable. But that shock you have does look trick!! If I had a non linkage bike, I would kill to have that shock.

That tank mold just amazes me!!! I'm in love. How many are you guys going to build?

Also jordo, your rear engine mount is sick!!! I would have been stumped on that for awhile. It looks great!

It would be every nice to have a v3, just for the motor mounts.. And looks

Keep it up!!! And you and bean should keep posting tons of pictures.

 

very cool

 

Looks so good! Go big or go home!

 

After all of that... I was able to obtain the worlds TRICKEST shock... Ever put on a BBR V2! (On a mini) has comp, rebound, High speed adj. AND low speed adj!!!

Dude Custom Axis shocks are easy to get. Suspension place by my parents house sells them big time to Quad and Sled riders.

Sick build though. Hope the drilled and tapped mounts into the alum frame hold under load.

 

^ Thanks negative nelly!

and FYI this ain't no sled shock. Find one for a pit bike. There is like 3... Ever. TR165 and I have 2 of them.

 

Not negative, realistic lol. Aluminum threads, bolts, and the shock load of landing from a big jump.

Call up www.hygearsuspension.com and ask for one. They will be more than glad to sell one to anyone who wants one, every Custom Axis shock is custom made to order.

And Elka makes shocks for sleds too...Doesn't make any of their pit bike shocks sled shocks so I fail to see your logic on that one haha.

 

Wow! Awesome build. Must be scary taking the Sawzall to a $2K+ frame. Dude, you need a CNC machine at home!

 

Time will tell. Now go away!

 

The mounts on the V3 frames are held in with 2 8x1.25 bolts per mount the same as jordo's so it shouldn't be a problem at all

 

^ thank you! I almost posted that but I wasn't 100%. See Marko ... This is what I'm talking about... You always point out the negative... Even when it's just in your head.

 

FMEA is important. Even if it's not what you want to hear, and as much as you hate me id hate to see you post with a broken collar bone after your engine ripped out off a jump.

I would question that wall thickness of the frame where your threads are, vs. the 'designed for threads' thickness of the V3 frame at the mount location.

 

OMG. the thickness is 12mm so it fits the rule for bolts... You need 1.5 times the diameter of the thread. After that the head pops off the bolt anyway.

And if I broke my collar it would be the 5th time.

 

 

Awesome work dude..bike looks awesome
