Congrats mywifeknowseverythin!

No worries. Your house, your rules.

It is deceptive as they were definatly up to Hooters standards with their jackets off. They had just pulled into the parking lot and I tried to convince my partners to wait until the weather got warmer before asking them to come over to take the pictures but they were a little over zealous. LOL

Do you know how to read plugs? If not, do a search on the net on how to read spark plugs. Your plugs can tell you a lot about if your engine is running lean or rich. It's not perfect but it will get you in the ball park. Other than that a dyno tune is really going to be the only way to get the fuel/air ratio perfect.

DirtDemon sounds like he nailed it. Looks like the fuel bowl overflow tube that we have on Harley carbs. Clean up the carb and see if the problem persists. If it does, you'll probably need to find out what kind of carb you have there and get some sort of manual for it to see what would cause fuel to flow out of that hose.

I'm nowhere in this photo...thank god...though you may have too look really closely to see the quad. (I swear it is there...)

And just in case I do have to be in it...I'm the guy on the right.

Oh yes, very much so.

Thanks guys. We're thinking about doing a "Show" bike but we'll see how things go. Right now we're working on number 2 and get a bit more exposure.

Well, not your average quad.

Sure, it's not a picture of it running across the desert or climbing some hill somewhere but it's something different...much like the quad itself.

We had quite a few bikes there that were really something to see and the competition was stiff...

I'd show more quad pictures...but there weren't any there other than us. I figure most quad owners are too busy USING their quads rather than showing them.

We even had the show's guest stop by and check out the quad and stayed long enough for us to snap a picture of him on the bike!

This is actor Emilio Rivera from the FX show "Sons of Anarchy". He plays the head of the rival bike gang, the Mayans. He was really cool about us taking his picture and was a really down to earth guy.

When all was said and done...and after a really long day...we wound up taking home a trophy...first place in the Full Custom class! Not bad for our first time out.

Oh, and did I mention that there was pleanty to look at that wasn't bike related?

Anyway, there are more pictures of the show on our website if anyone is interested...Hog Wild Motorsports | Harley-Davidson powered Iron Horse Quad ATV Enjoy!

Anyone?

Which naturally made me think off...

Thanks Dirt Demon.

We took her out to Glamis last weekend for a little shake down run and had a blast.

It definately got a lot of looks...

We plan on taking it back out this weekend for a little more fun in the sand and maybe get some video of it running.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I appreciate it.

For more info on the quad, check out our website:

MSRP starts at $10,990. Right now we are offering a free upgrade to the carbon fiber body panels (normally they come with black fiberglass). That price includes the polished swing arms, stock engine primary cover and cam/pulley cover, and black controls. Keep in mind that these are all custom built, one at a time. The frame is not an existing Harley or Quad frame that is then butchered up and welded back together. This frame is brand new and built by us specifically for this application. So are the front a-arms, steering, tie-rods, handle bars, and nerf bars.

Of course, because it is a custom build so we can do just about anything else at a cost. Custom paint on the tank, different controls, different grips, different tires and wheels, different powdercoating options on the frame (or chrome it if you really want to go nuts), different seats, upgrades shocks, ect. We could even build one like this with a 1200cc engine in it if the customer wanted it. We can do a 1250 with heads, cams, different programming in the ignition and roll out a 90+ hp quad.

The great thing about this engine in a quad is the amount of torque you have across the powerband. You don't have to do a lot of shifting to keep the engine in a "sweet spot". When you grap the throttle, you have power to move you. It's not revvy...5900-6500 is where these motors top out at depending on setup...but the transmission is geared so that you can really get this thing moving. We've had it up to 55 mph offroad and 80 mph on road and haven't got it out of fourth gear...it has five gears.

Really the sky's the limit and that's why we decided to go this route is because the cruiser community has so many different options out there all ready we felt we could take advantage of that to produce a quad that is highly customizable.

Just stating to get into quads and starting out in a big way. My fiance, her brother, and I have started building these:

The frame is custom built by my future brother-in-law from the ground up to accomodate the Harley-Davidson Sportster engine. Currently we're using 883cc engines but we plan on building a 1200cc version with more race like suspension. We wanted to give it that Harley look so we put a 3.3 gallon tank on it and a Sportster seat...which actually works out well for off-roading surprisingly. The exhaust, a-arms, and various other little odds and ends are also completely custom made. We even mold the carbon fiber body panels.

We're going to take her out to the desert this weekend and have a little fun with her. Going to be a blast. I don't want to post a ton of pictures here so I'll just add a couple more of my favorites.

We even took it to a Harley Open House just to see what they thought of it. This guy seemed to like it:

I hope to get more pictures this weekend of it in action but we'll see if my photography skills are up to par.

Thanks BuckBilly!

Just wanted to write up a quick introduction. Just kind of getting my feet wet in the ATV scene and stumbled across this forum. Seems to be a pretty active place and I like active.

As for what I ride, it's a custom job that my future-brother-in-law built. I don't want to share too much about it because it's something we're working on turning into a business. I already sent the moderators here a message about sponsoring the forum so I hope to be able to talk about it more later. It is something kind of unique though...

It's got a Harley-Davidson Sportster engine in it and is a blast to ride. We took it to a Harley show to see what kind of response it would get (I ride a Sportster hence the connection...)

Anyway, hope to be around here quite a bit, learn more about ATVs, and just meet some new people
