Made some decent progress. Tested the ignition and it works great did a quick alignment on the front end, (a friend was borrowing my angle finder and I got that back today) and I buffed up the pipe, it was looking nasty! Lol should be able to fire her off tomorrow! Waiting for some paint to dry on some things.

Damn! That thing is looking amazing! Cant wait to hear some noise.

Thanks Steve!

It’s alive

Hell yeah it sounds great. Time for a rip up the street lol.

 

[redline4]

Sounds good!

Dont see too many of the cool go fast quads here. No real place to ride except on your own property.

 

[Steve]

Thats was worth the wait. Cant wait to hear it killing a dune or two!

Great job Nathan!

Ya getting a little excited to finish her up, I have a bunch of stuff I want to test, and hopefully get some dyno time to see what works best!

Hope your running 110 octane. Dats a lot of compression

 

[Deets066]

Like the exhaust shape too, that’s how my sled is

Yes, vp110! My other r is build nearly the same, and is happy with 110

Got some small stuff today, grips, brake line clamps and front sprocket. Ordered a poly case saver and rear sprocket as well.
Been using spray paint for grip glue for years, did it again! Lol

 

[Bigmac]

Got my new poly case saver and rear sprocket, this case saver is massive! Plus double up on the gas cap washer to accommodate the red tank cover! Need to get a 450 running so I probably won’t get any more time this weekend!

Had to grind the back side to get it to fit but over all happy!

Will do! Lol been lazy on that! Put the old one on when i fired it up, have a new sitting here waiting! Lol I was hoping someone would bust my chops for that, that’s what I was thinking when I looked at the pic! Lol

I am surprised no one gave me a hard time for having my front tires on backwards! In the dunes I like it better this way, though I want to find some single rib front sand tire, nobody makes them anymore!

Looking for 22x8x10 razorbacks or dune runners. I just don’t like the Mohawks ,double rib and 21x7x10

 

[junkman]

I think the razerbacks i have are 22 8 10 will have to pull them down and look ,i have some haulers on beadlocks i think 10 inch back rims ,i will get better pics ,i have one more rack think had some sand skates also,razorbacks and sand skates were almost like knobbys on dirt for play riding and corners

here are the fronts i have they are on douglas red label wheels i think now ,i had to run mx rims in the sand ,the red labels kept bending goin through the whoops
