Tinman, your not that far away from Protodies shop, he's just north of you off the wayland exit. Have you had any thoughts on racing? We have a race this weekend out to Bobs Raceway in Clarksville & we are always trying to recruit more racers. By the way nice looking ride.

Default Re: My ride

I was thinking about stopping up and check out a race. Where and when? *I wore out my master cylinder all the way this weekend, it was getting pretty old. I just ordered a new one , but I doubt to will be here in time to do anything this weekend. When it does arrive, I'll need to lengthen the push rod. It could happen thuogh. I'd still like to watch the race for sure. *
I wanted to ask evreyone, where could I find a good selection of 12in paddle tires? I'm running a 25-11-12 knobby set now. Looking for 23-12-12. Thereabout.

Tinman,
Yes, cool ride. *We are racing this coming weekend at Bob's,,,,here is a link * *http://www.bobsfamilyraceway.com/main.htm

Drivers need to be registered by 11:30, racing starts just after 12:00. * *

Ya, if you get some free time , swing out to our shop, I am only about 15 minutes away. It is always good to get with other builders


Here is a map *

I've read your dreak about radiators behind the seat. And I do agree that it shouldn't be there. And I can't help but feel much fear every time I see a bike go by down the road. Don't they know how dangerous it is to have that pressure cooker right in front their laps? My god, someone could get their eggs poached.

I'm trying to find some more extruded t-slot tubing to build a radiator that will sit low behind the motor. When I wear out this ( my fourth motor) I'll get it there. This is an old buggy with some new paint and up-grades. I might build one from scratch, this is my first. If I do, it will be able to access the atv trails, 50in. It will have a sled motor, cvt, fnr, and one seat, just like this one. I have about $4000 into this. I should have made more parts myself. And I will in the future. See ya there, if you can get accross Lincoln Bridge.

Welcome to the site ... You got a nice ride...and my hats off to your inovativeness...I don't think master will give you any poo on the radiator it's pretty far back...
How much travel are you grtting being that narrow and independant?
I had to double-check that info... *I got 8-3/4in front, and 12in *rear. I kinda burned myself on the front cause the banshee spindles pin line so far in.(scrub? I think), and the width of the rack. I whittled down a "CHIN-SEA" brand rack as far as I could, but I was still limited as far as getting the arms closer to center cause of bumpsteer. I'm looking into an ARP rack for JR dragters to replace that POS.
