Cool bike, would be a blast to bomb around on! However, I would certainly flip your front wheels around.

Yeah, it was the reverse sensor. It was cutting ignition at 5500rpm.

Last weekend and yesterday, and tomorrow actually. Last weekend, took first place in the mod class, there were probably 10-15 bikes... Unfortunately no timers. Yesterday was T&T at West Michigan Sand Drags. Ran a 5.11 off the trailer with it having little traction and messed up gearing, ran a 5.0 at 57mph, and it was all down hill from there. It just spun like crazy!

Last week-

Yesterday, getting zero traction-

Just before I launch, that's the rev limiter. The other noise is from it cutting off and not getting any fuel.

Couldn't get the dumb thing to run half right today. Best was a 5.52, which should be more like a 4.7x.

There is no fuel above 6500rpm. Will have to figure that problem out tomorrow. Here's a quick video-

Have patience LOL. Going out for a few runs in a little bit, track is getting groomed right now.

Just to clean it up a little bit, it's not practical at all lol. That's part of building a drag bike, trying to hide wires, and just make it look very simple.

Started her up last night...

Dipping is a really fun hobby, used to do quite a bit of it.

Your stuff looks good.

looks like she will displace a bit of sand at the crack of the throttle

Maybe a little:wink:... We will see. First debut is on the 18th, I'll post the helmet can footage.

Very nice project Rappy. An expensive one I bet. Are you going to race it?

Thank you!

Yes, it's a total money pit lol, could be spending money on worse things I suppose.

Yep, it's strictly a racing quad now with the rigid front end, no dunes or trails for me!

Got it together last week. All powder coating was done by myself, with the exception of the swing arm and subframe.

Big thanks to Quality Powdercoat (qpcoat.com) for the subframe powder coating and swing arm coating, Brett (sand2kinc.com) for helping me out with some tips when putting together... And numerous members from other forums for helping me get the parts to build this.

It weighed in at 312lbs wet with this 25lb axle, a 12lb aluminum JJ&A axle is enroute.

Yes... It will fit. None of the stuff will work though.

The only way you can tell the size of the engine is to check the size of the cylinder. Good luck.

Very nice! What kind of riding? A powervalve Cheetah, or bigger Serval would be good for play/trail.

Yes, all plastics on them are interchangeable. If it runs good, I would say $1400-1650. Make sure you ride it and MAKE sure there is a 2nd gear, 01s are notorious for having junk transmissions.

I think a revolution is coming but not sure when or to what degree. If i was able to afford it i would have an arsenal of assault rifles and be fully stocked with ammo.

^ this +10000. It's coming. Soon.

Guns that are not meant for hunting, recreation, etc... Are for self-defense, which is what the bulk of ARs and AKs are for. People who say you don't need home defense firearms, or plans, are far too reliant on police and government, IMO.

Interesting...

I've never saw a 30 round clip on any assault weapon, or even any gun for that fact. Being a prepper, I've always thought an AR or AK was EXCELLENT for protection, perhaps not?

So, what do you guys think about the AW ban Obama wants to put through because of the past shooting in CT? I'm pretty well stocked (gun & ammo wise) personally, just curious to hear what others think about the ban and restrictions.

I STRONGLY recommend Sparks... Personally, the only single exhaust I'd ever run.

I have heard pretty good things about Muzzy, I just have no experience with them.

Your reverse is engaged.

From what I recall from working on carbs, they're always from the bottom? So, 3rd from the bottom. That would make sense to me, which doesn't mean much.

3rd...........
