That chromoly really doesn't like being melted in with that old

the Honda frames are made out of, but it melts together with itself like true butter.

dont worry jason I have checked the full stroke of the suspension travel, and its not hitting no wear plus its sprung like a locamotive! just ask billy! lol

**Billy Golightly** · 03-03-2009, 10:37 PM

Yeah...it actually needs to be softened up a bit so theres atleast a little bit of sag in it. It'll ride a lot better in the small rough stuff that way.

**TexFest** · 03-03-2009, 10:44 PM

That's a sweet project

Billy you sure are a serious madman when it comes to fab work.

**Billy Golightly** · 03-03-2009, 10:53 PM

Thanks Man, I try anyways.

I'm throwing around the idea of putting one of these (500R conversion frames) on ebay, with a TITLE, and see what might happen. Some of the guys out west that have a hard time getting titles for the sand country riding might appreciate having a fully titled ATC500R machine...

Jason, I think syko's main plan is just to use it as an all arounder. I've increased the wall thickness of the tubing from what I had used on my flat tracker which was .065 to the .083 for this machine. I'm also going to put in some additional gussets and will somehow utilize the front motor mount under the exhaust port which I left off of mine. Alans a big dude and I want this thing to hold up to even him pounding on it.

alan is the only person who managed to start my 350x when I first got it....

pulling it at 40mph and dropping it into gear, it still had to roll for 500 feet or so before it would fire.

he did it in 7 kicks or so. lol.

Looking really good billy... get really good with that tubing bender and start making chromoly frames?

**Jason Hall** · 03-04-2009, 12:04 AM

Billy When I modded the frame on Atctims / 3leggeddog's 500 I used the front motor mount to help reinforce the splice In the 2 front tube's. That bike also had a skid plate for more strength. I know what you mean, I seem to overkill sometime's because I worry about stuff breaking

**NOS_350X** · 03-08-2009, 02:57 AM

I cant wait to see that Stroker 500 run in a trike. I know it hauled in a quad.

**TriMotoMan** · 03-08-2009, 04:07 AM

wow this build is awesome, i cant wait to see it when its all put back together

**SYKO** · 03-08-2009, 11:53 AM

I think right now were waiting on some more tubing to finish up some "other" frame mods, I think once we get that all we need to do is mock up the pipe and put a few new mounting tabs in and its ready for a test fire.. NOS what type of fuel were you using? I think you saif VP and maxima927 right?

**NOS_350X** · 03-08-2009, 01:05 PM

Yes maxima, with C12,

110 should be fine,

I also ran av, mixxed with 91
3 gal av, 2 gal 91

Suprizingly those 2 (c12 and the mix) required the same jetting. I belive the jetting on a 41.5pwk 178main, 62 pilot, at sea level.

**Billy Golightly** · 03-11-2009, 10:47 PM

I'm gonna get the tubing to finish up the subframe this week. The front motor mount has been a bit tricky to figure and do. I left that part off on mine and figuring out exactly how I wanted it has taken a little time, and for some reason I couldn't find anyone with a freakin 8x1.25 tap here in town for like 2 days, ridiculous!

**1BFC** · 03-16-2009, 03:50 PM

Hey Billy,

Were you looking for an M8x1.25 Tap still? If so, I can bring my tap/die set with me in a couple weeks....Not sure if you can postpone working on the part that needs the tap that long though.

Anyway, just throwing that out there. Let me know whenever!

**SYKO** · 03-16-2009, 03:54 PM

I think we got that figured out a while back homie! but thanx for the help! HEY BILLY POST SOME DAMN PICS ALLREADY!! IM ABOUT TO FREAK!

**SYKO** · 03-17-2009, 08:19 PM

hey! if I was holding my breath I would have been dead along time ago!!!! lmfao!!
