TE/TC 17 TE 150

I used a number 115 out of my kit.

Across from 115 are the dimensions:

Transferred my old air box vents over.

I did have more inside but when I ran a muddy wet Harescramble, all that mud landed on top of my filter.

What a mess so staying with side vents on top only. I also sealed up my air box and subframe with rtv when I took it completely apart over winter.

Here is where I strategically place some long pop rivets to keep subframe from pulling apart and letting mud in.

You have to make sure you miss the side plate tongue and airbox grooves.

Mud.....interesting concept but not seen here very often.

Well least my helmet I painted up last year matches now.....

Yesterday....

Had to reconfigure my intake to match my carb opening.

Sometimes you think you did something and you didn't .........

Sheet forgot to do this long time ago. It otta skoot more up top now!

^^^ sorry to ask but can you expand on this idea a bit more? Perhaps you know of a good 2T tuners handbook to point me at so I can learn about this stuff without bothering everybody?

Notdoneyet,

Not sure what is out there. Probably most of us are self taught thru years of trial and errors.

Me, I never stop learning. I'm always trying to self teach myself or reach out and ask.

Doesn't bother me at all when you guys ask questions. At some point someone was always kind enough to answer my ??????

This is prob one of the best forums out there.

I make mistakes too. My carb is bored, taper-oval bored. I forgot to match my intake to it.
The stock intake is 38mm so mine had to be adjusted up to 41mm in spots. If not then carb flow hits the area and flow is held back.

And sooooo many on here are great resources.

You pop that baby & let er rip yet darin? Got to be close at this point! Bike looks awesome. Your just heating that pipe with a torch to get the bluing?

Take your pipe and wire wheel it, till clean and shiney.

Then take your oxy/acet torch, with small tip and heat it. You will see colors as you go.
I try to get lots of purples in there. Then after I do an area. Take a rag soaked with 90 wt gear oil and rub pipe till it cools down. The gear oil will season it to keep from rusting. Then after washing bike, use a lot of Wd 40 on it or gear oil.

Thanx ! It's getting close.

Have you ever considered making a pipe cage to guard it from impacts?

Thought you guys might enjoy some ride footage from Hawaii. This was a short trail race we had back in December when my bike wasn't jetted or power valve set properly (sounds super boggy)

Wow great race that looked tough and your bike was perfect for those nasty condtions. How long was total race.

It was only 24 miles but it took me almost 4 hours to complete. We got lucky it didn't rain for 2 days otherwise way more people would not have finished (over 25% of the people quit)

Awesome video!

Congrats on finishing that on a 150! Awesome video

Nice vid!

Got me brake lines,shifter tip, v force should be here next week.

Also trying some PVC shrink tubing on my clutch line. So we shall see how it turns out.

If goes well, may use it on the brake lines. Shrinks at 50%.

Now if I measured correct and goes over the banjo ends? Good ?

Clutch line no issue at small end that screws into master.

Walt?

Here is a question that you can prob answer.

So you had the pre 17 husky 125/150.....

Was your 14,15,16?

Do you think that your existing skid plate on 17, would fit on those years?

The blue I want is 14,15,16 style.

The 17 blue is dark blue which is not color I want.

It was a '16 TC125. It is essentially the same frame as yours but it doesn't have the mounting nuts in the frame at the front. The 14-16 TE's will be different.

Now I had my Shoulder done on Wednesday and I am still in lala land with pain killers. Won't be riding again for at least 2 months and probably 4-6.
