Talon TerryH's 1000 X build.....

[TerryH]

Looking forward to seeing them! Light bar and what else?

Red, white and blue Honda wings on the sides. Subtle stripes on the hood and put the rest of it back together and call it good.

Have you had any issues with the Raceline Krank wheels getting scared up on inside from rocks etc. since I assume they are 14"?

They are 14's. No issues at all.

 

[bjniceguy]

any spacers? Thanks

 

[TerryH]

any spacers? Thanks

I wanted all the wheels to be the same so I could rotate the tires. I have 1.5" Super ATV spacers on the rear just to square it up front to rear but ran it without them. No issues. Personally, I think the entire 14" wheel deal is totally overblown.

Please keep in mind you are comparing an R to an X and the suspension travel is greater on an R. There is a potential for the stock front upper A-Arm to rub on certain 14" wheels on an R that may not occur on an X...

14” wheels dont always clear! Careful!!

With 14” wheels The upper A arm will rub the wheel when the suspension is compressed. I only realized after I took the front wheels off. They rub on both fronts and cut a groove in the wheel. I got new wheels and ground down the end of the arm. Easy fix. I ride primarily on the Oregon dunes. So...

Talon - STI HD9 Wheels

for those looking at 14" STI Hd9 wheels, I have them installed now with 30" Maxxis Liberties. I am 69" wide from & with 1.5" spacers I am 69" in rear. The inside of the front wheels is very close to the Brake rotors. I may build some 1/8" to 1/4" this spacers just add a little more clearance...

You are spot on Paul. Thanks for the reminder.

I do not understand the extra material on upper A arm anyway. I do not see that it gives any extra strength. I do not see any strength loss with mild relief. Thanks

Absolutely agree. I'm getting ready to change the tie rods and I think I'll remove or at least reduce that point on the upper while I'm at it.

Back from the graphics shop and back together. Still have the custom blue nets from PRP and the gold nerf bars to go but getting close and couldn't resist getting some pics and doing a little video.

 

[TerryH]

Quite the difference....

I'd be so conflicted to go and play in that thing since it's so purrrty!

Thanks. We went riding yesterday and trust me, it got plenty dirty.





It was so worth it to be in the place we were in. Truly a spectacular place to ride. I'll post more later.

OMG, MUD!!!

 

[TerryH]

OMG, MUD!!!

Crazy isn't it? lol... It was definitely muddy. The creek crossings helped rinse off the worst of it but the last few miles were like driving thru oatmeal.

 

[JimmyA]

One of a kind! You should get your name on it too.

Looks so good, How was riding at Buffalo Wilderness? Was there many people there?

Riding was really, really muddy but spectacular as always! There was a group of 4 wheeling folks, Jeeps mostly, that we saw once. Few dirt bikes riding together. Couple of random Jeeps. We were the only 3 SXS's on the place.

I have not been there yet and the place is on my list to go to... my son is desperately needing some outside time ... so we may try to see in the next couple of weekends if it does not get shut down
