The rm 250 that I am doing now is 100% insane. The guy is gonna have about 8000$ in it not including any labor to me. I basically built the motor from scratch starting with a brand new set of cases. Everything is either powder coated or anodized, 265 cc big bore kit, full factory connection suspension.....the works.

Here is a pic of the motor all buttoned up:


very cool....Sorry to Hijack your thread but I am big MX guy myself...I have been on various teams as a technician. I now own and operate my own suspension tuning business...Here is my personal RM250 build that I finished recently......My 450 is my primary race bike (2015)

I don't know who I got. I couldn't very far with him though and I was pressed for time so I didn't get to request anyone else.

Alright I gotta stop posting bike stuff, but this thing is gonna be pretty sick. If anyone is looking for any custom bike work done in the Houston area, especially off road stuff, hit me up. I do pretty much everything including complete motor builds.

I got a ruckus that needs 150cc swap, but not stretched so i can still ride on trails by house and to the bar.

Dont know about their uppers but, if you look at the stock arms they are side specific. The balljoint pads are angled toward the rear of the truck when mounted if i am correct. Maybe their arms are built different with that offset in mind. Check your wheelbase? Measure from a certain point on the frame to the balljoint and if theyre the same then ur good to go? BTW the stuff you do is just plain badass.

Yea, that's pretty much what I had in mind. Just take a bunch of measurements to figure it out.

I should be having a ton of front suspension updates coming this weekend. So stay tuned for that. It's gonna be pretty sick.

Thanks for the compliment.

Well it looks like it isn't gonna be ready for the shootout down South. I've run into a bit of a situation with the front coil overs. Lessons to be learned.........I'll never spend another dime with Race Craft Inc. Pretty pissed.
