My 500 Foreman
Permalink  

ok guys, i joined HighLifter to check out peoples bikes, and see what all i could do to mine. i have been riding for a good while now, ive seen ALOT of different bikes in action. but nothing holds up like a Honda

so heres my 08 Foreman 500







as you can see she sits WAY too low. so i joined this board to fix that, its time for her to grow up. i met headcutter on Myspace like a year ago, never really talked to him though, i just always watched his build on his yellow 500 i believe

ok down to business now.

what would my best option be for a rear diff?
i want my bike to be around 5-8" of lift, plus IRS. i just dont want all of my tire sticking out WAYYYY past the fender. but i dont want to run my axles in to much of an angle (i know the wider the better for this)
i can weld/fabricate. im not worried with making the arms or shock mounts. none of that bothers me. i have the bender and the tools with know how. just looking for any advice i can get before i start

this is an AWESOME board. TONS OF HOME GROWN BIKES! and this is what i love doing, i build mini trucks, so i build four link suspensions or motor swaps. i can do the fabrication, just lookin for details

thanks guys!!!

no, i dont mind the tires sticking out. i just dont want them WAY out there. i know that when i go up, they go out, but i want it to fit on my trailer lol. the only 500 ive seen on here (the white an blue one) thats as big and as wide as i want. no bigger, but he kept SRA

and the laws are only 26x12x12

if i can make my bike as big or just a hair smaller than the white one, then thats what i want

THANK YOU MAN!

can you let me know what diff your going to use?

i have a new brute rear diff, i know it has brakes inside the rear diff, so thatd be cool. but if it wont work with the front diff, it wont work

also where do you live? LA? TX?

in the link i posted? he said that turner made it, and that it was a rincon rear. idk the difference yet, not arguing with you at all.

either way i want a rear diff, knuckes, some DOM tubing and a week to break everything down and start looking at what im working with

thats not a rincon diff i'm pretty sure thats a foreman diff. I can say that the knuckles aren't rincon or grizzly either.
Also you don't have to have DOM tubing all you need is 3/4 sch 40 and you'll be fine i'm hard as hell on mine and haven't bent anything, ripped the a-arm bracket off the frame but no tubing bending.
