    The rest of you score may be useless to you but may be gold to someone else. If you are gonna just re scrap it pass it off for shipping to someone who can use it.

    progress

    i got some more done on the build, mainly on the front fork situation

    here's the front forks i got today, 185 forks


    i got to thinking and decided to leave a little pipe on the steering neck so i could do an extension so i don't have to do any gas tank modifications and have full turning radius, i still have to do a little cleaning to get most of the rust gone, i cut most of the flat steel off that was welded on and i will weld some flat steel on there instead


    here's the pipe i will be using for the extension, i had some left that was on part of the frame that i got the front off end off of, it fits nicely inside the pipe on the trx, i still need to fully clean the rust off this pipe also

    mock up

    i got the top backbone sorted out, now i'm just working on the down tube to connect to the trx frame, here is a mock up pic to see what it would look like, looks like the front end was made to go on there, looks kinda cool with a fatty front end, nothing is welded in this pic, just sitting there

    here's more progress i got done for the day

    i decided to use a gusset instead in the middle that will brace the front end, i also got the top backbone all welded and grinded down


    here is one of the plates that i got welded on the side, i just need to do the other side, so i'll have 3 plates welded to the 185 front end to the trx frame, i think it should hold pretty good, when i finish the other side i'll be boxing in the bottom

    conversion finished

    the conversion is finally done, it just needs a little cleaning up and some paint

    i made some straps that connect to the bottom neck part to the frame


    here is where i boxed it in all together


    here is my templates i made from paper and cut them out using my jigsaw i picked up at walmart, it was like 30 bucks but it works pretty damn good cutting metal with the blades you can also get for it, almost like butter

    updated pics

    here are some updated pics that some people were asking for

    here's how it sits as of now, still needs a couple of things, not sure if i want to use another seat and tank or not, still deciding, i do have the fenders, i just didnt put them on there


    i added some wheel spacers i got off ebay a while back, they were 2.5 spacers, so i gained 5 inches width, also added some lawn mower tires they had at the local tire shop


    here's the spacers, you can't see them that good, but you can see a little of them


    this is the front end, yes it has a trail pro, brake drum works, just need a brake cable, the back half of the fender was trashed so i cut that part off and used the front half




    this is the dash i decided to use, i didn't like the big white bulky dash that originally came on the trx so this went on, it was from an 84 200

    They look like durablue spacers. What's the bolt pattern on these Hondas? I forget. I have NOS ones in 4x100.
