I am going to go over EVERYTHING, and am paying attention to all the little details, I am building my dream bike so I want it perfect. I will get pictures of all my stuff up either tonight or tommorow. Heres how it sits,

Well im finally doing some work rather then just gathering parts. I just sent out exhaust to get it fitted, hope that turns out nice. I will be sending the frame to the local powdercoaters, early next week and the a-arms, and swingarm are heading to Houser for refurbishment. Heres the ti tri-oval, I got a hell of a deal. Ill post some pics of my parts when I get some time.


Posted by: timmersam

Picked up my shocks today, got the from Choreboy, might as well got them from Elka, they look BRAND new.


Posted by: timmersam

Got some stuff back from the powdercoaters, some more is headed there this week. I dropped it off Monday and it was done on Wednsday, cant beat a two day turn around!


Posted by: spanky101

thats looking nice man! cant wait to see it finished!


Posted by: brilo_pad

Looks really nice!

What geometry style is that frame?
And is built to house that CRF engine?


Posted by: timmersam

Thanks alot, I dropped the rest of the stuff off at the powder coaters today, should be done before the weekend. All I need is an axle to make it a roller.. cant wait, haha. The frame is 250r geometry, and Houser built the frame for this motor.

Sam


Posted by: brilo_pad

That looks really nicee. I love the colour.

i think im gona go for that particular frame also for my build.
Can u pick these houser frames up pretty easily?


Posted by: timmersam

No unfortunately they are very hard to find, or any other aftermarket frame built for a hybrid for that matter. In the end it depends on what you want, I wanted a 250r geometry so I spent alot of hours searching and trying to find one. One thing you can do is make sure alot of people know what you are looking for, and if something comes hopefully they contact you. I know there is a Laeger frame built for a yz motor floating around here for sale, if you want to go that route. Im sure matt will post it up if he sees this post. You have any more questions feel free to pm me, and ill try to help you out. Anyways here are some more parts. Elka dual rate No-link and Lonestar carrier:


Posted by: timmersam

Hipers with new rings and tires, one of my personal favorites


Posted by: spanky101

looks like a great start to this build! cant wait to see it done man!


Posted by: timmersam

Posted by: timmersam

Back, love the trioval


Posted by: RoadRidin450r

Wow that is a really nice build. Let us know how it handles compared to the stock one and also what are you doing with your old 250r frame and motor and all that stuff because the only thing I see reused is the plastic lol.


Posted by: timmersam

I sold alot of my extra stuff already haha. But I am using the stem, bumper grab bar, hubs, little things. Its not as wide as I want right now, dont no what to do yet, should be all done in the next few weeks.


Posted by: timmersam

Got the swingarm in this weekend, took some pics.


Posted by: KingpinsEx

Posted by: timmersam

Thanks for the heads up but I got the quad sitting at 47" now seems to handle pretty good. That reminds me, I should post up some pics of the finished product.

Sam


Posted by: 400exMO

Ya you really should post some pics. I've been watching this build and loving the outcome so far.


Posted by: timmersam

Heres a whole bunch of pictures, I havent had a chance to shave both fenders, and the rear master cylinder isnt in yet, but you get the point.

intake


Posted by: mcarlson1

What kind of intake boot is that?? 250R or something else? Also what width a arms are you running for the width to only be 47"? Bikes looks extremely sik i love it!!

Mike


Posted by: timmersam

Its a lt500 air boot. The width is around +1. I was under the impression that the a-arms were +3 when I purchased them.I am running wheel spacers for now which I am completely against, so ill be picking up another set when I can. Thanks for the compliments.

Sam


Posted by: g9901920

thats a great build man...


Posted by: tx450racer

What year TRX pipe is that?


Posted by: timmersam

Sam


Posted by: 400ex28

Sick build.


Posted by: ronny

Realllly nice build, like the color scheme


Posted by: Glamis400ex

What brand airbox is that? Maybe a couple pics from over the top how it's mounted ...if ya don't mind.?.

thanks


Posted by: timmersam

Its an Insane Performance Airbox. I got it off their store on ebay. Good durable, thick material. I dont have it mounted in securely, but I will show you some pictures of what it will end up like. It clears the shock 100% the way I have it mounted now.

Sam


Posted by: Glamis400ex

yeah, my UM Racing box hits my chain on hard landings. I have the no-link also.

thts how your chain brakes an messes up your motor


Posted by: timmersam

Heres a picture of the airbox, were it mounts for now. Its a little dirty haha


Posted by: timmersam

Me and kevina2017 went out riding today also:


Posted by: RoadRidin450r

What is the purpose of the no link set up? Isn't a linkage set up better?


Posted by: timmersam

Another of his Arens:


Posted by: timmersam

Its higher ground clearance, and usually a longer shock. Its also on a greater angle which im sure has an effect.


Posted by: kevina2017

HEy those are some nice looking hybrids


Posted by: raptorguy

I had a rectangular airbox for a while, but was having the same issue of the chain catching, I now have the below which has no clearance issues.

Very nice build!! I am in the process of building a lsr crf hybrid myself, but i am questioning whether or not it will def. be worth all the time and money because i have never owned one before?
How do you like your hybrid? josh


Posted by: timmersam

I love my hybrid. I have beaten everything I have faced so far as far as shear power goes, including a TC National 450r, and a stroked yfz480. The handling is amazing, you will not be disappointed I promise you.

Sam

Oh, I forgot to add great looking bike timmersam!
