So..about to get started on my chain drive in a real chassis....

Not sure what size motor yet... it is going to have real compression and cams.. and I hope to get it around 300lbs.... maybe now BBIII will stop making fun of me for having 530+lb bikes....

 

[T-Rex]

I'll be damned, that is a slick and clean way to do that.

 

[zmann]

rumor is .. it drops about 100lbs off the bike by ditching the rear end and all the internal and external shaft stuff....

Plus, there is no way it won't make more power by ditching the shaft and that wet brake set up for the rear end/ drive shaft....


I am shocked these thing run as good as they do with that driveshaft brake set up on them... talk about a drag... it rocks for mudding.. but has to hurt power big time...

 

[badassbanshee479]

that is sweet!

 

[BBIII]

HOLY CRAP.....im screw now.....

Very nice Rich i want to see how it is when your done.

Look's like i might have a little comp. for my rappy build...

 

[zmann]

I am not shooting for most 4 strokes with this build.... If it doesn't run what I think it should... it is getting set on fire....

 

[BBIII]

LOL....

Not most 4 strokes just me huh....

 

[zmann]

Nope..... not even you... you have the lightest 4 strokes I know off.. figured I wanted to join the club....

 

[BBIII]

oh ok....lol

Dont worry it will be lighter soon....lol

 

[zmann]

geeze.... I will be lucky to get it around/under 300 lbs... heck, the motor alone with clutchs weighs about 150lbs...

 

[BBIII]

i know the raptor motor weights about 105 fully dressed.

If it gets any lighter you'll have to tie a rope to it to keep it from floating off.

 

[BBIII]

Lol....i know it jeff.

going to shoot for 243#s next year with the bar.

 

[zmann]

I bet he tries filling his tires with helium...

 

[BBIII]

I thought about that.

 

[badassbanshee479]

 

[zmann]

If you make that, you will be lighter than I am with my gear on. LOL

 

[BBIII]

Well it is @ 250#s wet right now without the bar.
