Better get you a puma engine if you have 8 inch plus extended swing arm lol

[@blacksmokematters4521]

@@MichaelSabo I don't have a puma engine but to have a 8 inch swing arm takes more chain and more power and a loss of power in ways lol and less traction mines a 6 inch on a 450r with a big bore kit web cam race cut gears over ride transmission if i was to do it again I'd extend front end of bike instead

You have a really great talent for builds. What you are creating is artwork. It kind of reminds me of “American Choppers” but for quads.

Except Mikes Quads Dirt Bikes run n ride better. Ever road an American Chopper.?.Watch yourself especially if it's open primary. Take a right corner too deep sharp. Primary catch pavement jack your back wheel of the road. Send you to the ER. Some of choppers( bikes) were ridiculous. Dirt n Dunes where it's At.

My brother's ESR 330R was an absolute beast in the dunes. When he finally switched to the ESR TRX11 exhaust with center mount silencer it really woke it up but it definitely needed an even bigger carb. With long travel setup it was by far the funnest dune bike. I weighed 120lbs and I couldn't keep it down. Only downside was 110 leaded was over $7'a gallon and we would go through more than 30 gallons per trip per bike.
