Converting a X4 into 2R

[GPR1500SC]

Also on a interesting note if you blow up the picture the measurements I done with calibers are the same but the 2022 shift drum that they shipped me the shape is more defined than my 2020 drum?
Do you think it's just different batch?
Or are my eyes fooling me?

I thought I finally have a update Thanks to HondaTech and Honda of Fairfield I got the sub transmission gear I was waiting on to push forward with this project!!!! It has been sitting behind the garage ever since the last post getting mowed around but generally being in the way.

Here is a good shot of it and my wife's landscaping that's how far I got with it on it's test run until it died.
I put a DCR reground cam in it in the process DCR pressed the cam gear mount off to remove the decompressors and when he pressed it back on it no longer fit tight enough and it turned on the cam enough it would no longer run so I took the cam out pressed it off peened the cam with a punch and put it back in but turned again so it needs to be tig welded witch I don't do, mig welding I am in but I never had or learned the art of tig welding.
So it got pulled out back so it wasn't tore apart in the wife's bay in the garage 😜

Here is a quick update I got my cam tig welded and it's ready to go in.
And I got the offending shifter fork out of my little tractor, due to covid it will take three weeks to get a new one so maybe I can find some time to work on the Talon.

For a long overdue update, I been using the Talon half done all summer.
The lower high gear in the sub transmission is definitely worth it, it's a lot like putting lower reverse in a Pioneer not a game changer but it shur helps.
With stock 28 inch Talon tires on the speedometer shows 2 mph fast switching wheels with my nephew 32 inch System 3 370's it reads 3 mph slow.
Stock tire 3 run average 0 to 60 7.27
32 inch tires 3 run average 8.73
The best draggy runs stock tires and best 32's

Interesting L&W design change.👍

This is a long over do update on a awfully slow project.

Here is some pictures of my home made retractable seat belts I got a friend of mine to sew the stock seat belts on to a set of cheap harnesses, the center belts came from the rear of the X4, I made the center bracket out of some scrap laying around and drilled a 3/8 hole through the frame and bolted it fast, the top guides are bolted into a threaded insert that I welded in I thought the tube was a little small to just drill a hole through it and was worried it might compromise it's strength.

They work OK as they are but stock lower mount puts to much of a angle on the belt and it doesn't always retract fully which is unacceptable so I will move them up sometime to match the center one's as they don't give any problems.

And pictures of my 32 inch Xbrite amber and white light bar installed on a Super ATV windshield I really liked the way it fit up under the roof I had to install the mounts outside in to clear the hinges.
Xbrite comes prewired switch and relays all have to do is hook it up to the battery, there was already a hole in the dash by the steering column so that was the spot.

And pictures of a Big Guns header I sent back because it was a big pile of steaming CRAP!!!

The stock Honda header was much better quality and would flow better, if you look in either end of the pipe it was smaller than stock only after that awful offset pipe joint do they step up to bigger than stock pipe but the collector where all the air flows through is necked down to two inch where the stock is two and a half, I bought it to flow more air than stock!!!
Not to be a butt plug.

The shocks where done by Gforce Racing they are AWESOME they feel bottom less.

If RSX3 doesn't sell his Talon before I get mine rebuilt I can run with him and get more and better feed back.

I cannot say enough nice things about Gary at Gforce he took the time to answer all my questions, if you need shock work done go to someone that does a lot of race cars, not someone that does a lot of YouTube videos.

In the picture of the shock shafts left to right Talon R rear, middle Talon X rear, and Talon R front so the Talon R front has a inch longer shock travel then a Talon X rear.

And a link to rear windshield, I am satisfied with but recommend not getting the rear vent because it's in the way when you are looking out the back second it rattle's when the condition's are right when it's open, and lastly it doesn't move much air.

And random tools, the pliers is for the snap ring on the four-wheel drive clutch, that thing is a major pain to remove.
