[MonroeMike]

That looks great.

[skippy]

where did you get the full bores? find a deal, i need a set for a project.. looking for deals..

[3leggeddog]

they came with the bike when I got it.not sure where to look for them for a good price.These came from Walsh's showroom,they may have more?

[Kintore]

Looks sick B, can I ride it????

[3leggeddog]

hell yeah you can ride it,well when it's back together.it aint very fast right now ;-)

get your arse down here this winter for some indoor practice.i will meet ya in cleveland!

[atcrider1]

what exactly is it? the front plastics kinda resemble a quadzilla?
looks awesome btw

[oldskool83]

thats a 250r

[3leggeddog]

This is a WALSH 250r geometry,CRF 450 with the CR500 rear link suspinision,and long travel front end.The plastics are FULLBORE.

thanks for the comments

[Billy Golightly]

Looks awesome man, Walsh makes great stuff and all the guys are really cool. Those bottom A-arms heim jointed where they go on the frame? Looks like it, thats some oldschool parts of theirs if it is.

[Bryan Raffa]

nice Dawg... gotta love that... wheres the rest?

[RodKnockRacing]

thats pretty sweet if i do say so myself

[3leggeddog]

yes,this is one of the first gen.talking to Mike we think it may even be the first ever sold to the public.it has WRC 1 stamped on the lower motor mount and a arms.all 4 a arms are heimed to the frame.i am not looking forward to setting the front end back up!eventually i will buy new a arms,but for now,the 800 bux has to go into rebuilding the bike.it was severly abused by the p.o.,gotta put a lil puppy love into the old girl!

the rest is in the garage,or at the powder coater.I got a freind that just started a pc buisness so if anybody needs stuff done let me know.he is cheap,and is doing really nice work.I will be doing some reassembling this weekend and get more pics up next week.

this thing handles like a dream,it's so light and nimble!the cr500 rear end will soak up some seriuos whoops! I am very stoked to get it back together

[harryredtrike]

[Mosh]

Sweet.:drool:
Lets take that thing to Wells for break-in! :naughty:

gonna be ready for 1st Round of Summit? Or are you just going to focus on the Nationals?

[3leggeddog]

not sure,maybe ready for summit,but I won't have any seat time and always go up there out of practice,which sucks.I might be there with the Walsh tho,hopefully on a trike too!

NO wellsville for this unit lol.....

[MonroeMike]

Looks real nice, so far.

[Eric250R]

Wow, very nice man. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[max]

Top secret. No 4wheeled things here though. LOL

[Kintore]

Hmm you have intrigued me! ETA on the date please?

[oldskool83]

the bikes looks nice 3legged, hopefully i can start my build of my g/fs 300ex soon once get all the parts to the power coater.

[Kintore]

Wheres the floats? I thought you was all keen on them air riders?

[code200k]

nice build i like the color scheme

[3leggeddog]

Floats are super nice,but this bike had the Custom Axis on it when I got it,so I am trying them out.I like them ok so far,but they were really,really soft.So I got them rebuilt and will see how they work.So far Floats are the best front shock I have ever had,and Motowoz is the best rear shock.But now that I got these CA setup,we will see.I can't wait to ride this thing!Got me some carbon fiber stuff this week.Hood,tank cover,m.c. guard and front shock guards.Super stoked and thank you for all the compliments!

[Tri-Z 250]

I feel Axis shocks offer top quality performance and for us Ohio / PA guys they're pretty much local since they moved to PA. They have a vast knowledge of their own product and will work with you to perfect their product to your needs. PEP...well I have seen alot of guys lined up at Baldwins trailer in the morning of a Race looking for a tune-up or quick revalve/oil change. Then again that was 15 yrs ago and PEP was just coming out with their dual spring shocks. I'm sure they've improved but back then they were the more expensive brand. Axis has kept the price pretty much the same over the years for a custome unit which says alot about a company and it's product.

[3leggeddog]

yeah and their customer service is top notch!very good people to deal with.Fox on the other hand,I had a terrible time dealing with.
