What type of sport/racing bike plastics will fit on a Honda Four Trax 350 frame, with some mods and homemade mount brakets?

Posted by: Sparkles

anyone ?

Posted by: Ben

A Rancher frame?

Posted by:

Yup, a Rancher or a Four Trax, plz help me out cuz i got a frame and an engine, alls i need is the plastics

Posted by: DEAL

That Cr500 motor is gonna work awesome in that Rancher frame.

Posted by:

I hope so, but i have to get it working...which means i need to find a cam shaft for it

. I need a set of plastic when im done all of that but its going to be hard so i need some suggestions. Anyone?

A cam for a CR500R dirt bike what in the sam hill?!? Or maybe I missed somthing....

Just wondering what you will use a rancher with a 500cc engine for. Only reason i ask is...Rancher's don't have much of a suspension do they

Just wondering
Good luck though

Posted by: DEAL

Yeah, You do realize that it doesn't have a cam , just a head.

Posted by: Sparkles

he only has the frame

Posted by:

[SIZE=3]your right Sparkles, i only have a frame...im putting all my own suspension on it, and i never knew they don't have a cam, maybe it a XL500 or something...im not exactly sure what it is right yet. When i got the motor from my dads friend, he just said it was a CR500 and it needed a new cam

so ill have to figure that ouy later when the motor is important in this project.[/SIZE]

why don't u sell the frame u got and buy a stock 400ex frame... bc that frame will suck with that type of motor in it... no handlin or sus at all!!!

Posted by:

what do you mean, the frame has no suspension or motor. I'm going to make it all from scratch, even the A-arms and the swing arm. I just want some plastics, but its ok...i don't need any, ill just have to go without them. Oh yea, i was just wondering, what does the frame have to do with the handling of the bike?, i never thought it did, i just though it was the tires and all the other parts that aren't on the bike yet. I think it should work fine

But thanx for the advice.

Posted by: DEAL

Does the cyclinder have fins on it , if it does its an xl500.

Posted by:

Oh, yea it does...i guess its a XL500, and a 4 stoke at that...right?

Posted by: DEAL

And it has a timming chain , yeah then i guess that might work a little better in that rancher frame than a cr500 motor.

Posted by:

I hope so...thanx Drew, but now i still need a cam

Posted by: Tommy 17

the geometry of a frame has alot to do with the handlin of ur machine

Oh, thanx 400ex21...i never knew, but i don't have the money or anything to do a lot, so im gonna try to do what i can and work with what i have

maybe i can do some modding to the frame, maybe chop it a bit, or other things...i don't mind mangling the frame :square maybe you can help me out?

Posted by: Sparkles

lmao, this bikes gonna be so funny when ur done with it

Posted by:

LOL, thanx Spark:devil

Posted by: DEAL

Cams aren't that expensive.
You should look into a carb for it too, air box , tires , air filter , exhaust.

Posted by:

My uncle will make me an aluminum air box, carb is easy to find, air filter isn't all that expencive...and ill just have to steal Sparkles 400ex exhaust :P i have tires under my deck for now

Posted by: Ben

You must take lots of pictures and post them. You should put a VW Bug pipe on it and one of those 14T front sprockets that will give you 90mph off of Ebay. I saw a kid on here today who said he has a 220 Bayou with a VW Bug pipe on it and he says it pulls as hard as his 400ex. Just think what you could do with that and the 90mph 14t!

Posted by:

Hah!, you sound like a crazy man...but it sounds good too, what do the dprockets sell for?, and the bug pipes?

I don't get it, why do you make fun of me

Posted by: DEAL

haha
So Chris , what r u gonna do for chain and sprockets?

Posted by:

well, lets see...im gonna put the sproket on the axle and put the chain from the engine sproket to the axle sproket, even though i don't have a chain

Posted by: DEAL

Duh
