Yes, set your rake where you want It, then figure out where to mount the top of the rear shock. Do everything temporary at frist, set the bike down and make sure your close before final welding / mounting Is done. Remember the more the rear of the bike sag's, the more rake the front end will have. So Everything needs to be right before you weld. Thats the exact mistake I made, I was set on running the front axle trailing, and finish welded the rear suspension. The easiest way for me to correct the problem I caused was to mod the rake at the steering head.

Jason since you have a rear kick, and I notice you installed a different kicker, does your foot ever hit the fender when you start it?

You need to position your foot correctly on the kicker. I don't want to cut my rear fenders, so I use a short YZ 125 kicker. It does a Fine job once you know the drill!!Originally Posted by TexFest

Catch me if you can
I just wanna say again, AWESOME INGENUITY!! and the fact that you share these findings with ALL of us tells me that you enjoy it and it doesn't have to be a "secret!!"
Every build teaches you something else............. And you share it
Nice work Jason, but I bet you've heard that enough!

Fill us in! What happened????
Jason: Awesome Build. I just stumbled upon this thread. I always wondered where this trike cam from in your pic!!
Have you ever thought about building a trike out of a Honda TRX 90? I know it doesn't provide a big boy trike, but it could give the younger guys something to ride. Would it even be worth it to do a build with a TRX90? I have had one in my garage for 4 years. I just can't bring myself to sell it. It runs fine and everything.
Keep on Triking!!!! "I am the NIGHT RIDER!!!"
RIP Ninja!

Read the entire thread and love it, I didnt see if you ever mentioned how much rake degree change from 05 and newer frame vs older frame?
Also side note do you know if the TRX quad engine bolts into the Bike frame??
I want to build another hyrbrid, 05 and newer based CRF450X, but unsure if gonna buy bike to start with or maybe a quad and then buy the bike parts, and use quad engine? Also mine will be street legal like my WR was. Keep up the great work!
Can I get a template on those tripple clamps

He did in fact mention that the newer frames had a better rake to deal ( which may mean - lower the shock mount, set up the ride height and your good); But I believe the newer frames were allot more expensive than the nice earlier year (maybe 04) frame he picked up...........
