took it out for its maiden voyage. (fully built maiden voyage anyway) had a blast.... until i ran out of gas doing 100 down a stretch of road and coasted to a stop... havent gotten out of third gear yet. hah

 

 

Well as fast as it goes sounds like a rush but be careful not sure what ATV tires are rated for but I bet they were not meant to go past 100mph

 

i have a video of me going for a cruise. we found that the speedo is actually slow. in this video the speedo hits 105, and earlier in the day a buddy of mine rode along side of me. and at 105 he was doing 117 along side of me (on his speedo) and that wasnt even pushing 3rd gear on the quad.

as for the tires, i have a raptor that does 93 and they hold up well. i dont plan on pushing these tired hard though. i wanna find a pair of Street quad tires, at least for the rear.

The video is loading now. its at 60%

in this one i hit 4th going down the main stretch. a little over 105. but again not really pushing it.

 

Some picture of the beast, today while out cruising i had a slight problem. The swing arm i used, had the bolt go through the rear of the motor as a mount, today while out riding the rear got really sloppy. Found the bearings had rolled out and were sitting in the middle of the bolt so it allowed the swing arm to sway. Was pretty scary. Tom. im going to make a sleeve to act as the motor would inbetween them. Should solve the problem.

 

coolest ****ing project EVER!!!!! EPIC. Forget a Banshee

 

i need a new front left tire. the rim is bent so after about 120 it starts to get really shaky. Afraid if i push it anymore ill have a quad tank slapper and become one with a tree.


Im trying to find some quad street tires for the track. i wanna really see what she can do. but in an environment where when i do hit a tree or wall, there are some defibrillators near by.

For now, 120 is plenty fast for what i want to do with it around my area. Took it to the pit the other day and actually successfully jumped a table top with it. longest three seconds of being in the air of my life. my biggest fear was bottoming out and tearing the exhaust/headers off, but it went pretty smoothly.

Next addition too it will be a skid plate. And i have an idea for a solid shock mount that i can easily remove and store on the bike depending on the riding i want to do at the time.

 

Thats mint, i want one lol, it looks great fun

 

tonight finally got to test out my quad against a real bike ^.^ We passed my buddies house and he ran outside too watch with his buddy, and i got a funny video in a text message when i got home. Passed him so fast i never even saw him and his two friends standing there.

im ahead of the cbr and we took off at the same time (given he cant really floor it quite as hard as i can due to the obvious differences) i was ahead untill about 130 going down the road (we passed at a little over 100) and after that he pulled away because i didnt want to shift into fifth for fear of wobbling off the road. ^.^



^^^ cklick the picture ^^^

With the small tires and sprocket the speedo is only 5-8 mph fast we did a test with his truck and his bike, at 60mph i was cruising at 64-68ish.

And before i get yelled at for going that fast down the road, its actually closed except to local traffic ^.^ so i was kinda playing it safe/still not legal... But i tried.
