well, after half a year of planning and saving up, getting the hook up from Nac's Racing and Elka Suspension

i'd like to thank everyone who was involved in this and who has supported me through financial aid or technical help. please see my signature for my 2005 sponsors!

well, everything is in my profile. if anyone would like specs i have them all but i figure it's kind of annoying to post every spec of every part of the quad, just bragging rights.

here it is everyone...from MILD to WILD!!!

one last thing...i'm waiting to put the Piston and Cam in till the weekend. the Nac's Racing Graphics kit will be on it early February cause i've been waiting forever for them to finish up the R&D and get that out. i can't wait any longer though to put this up. i'll put more pics later when i get it posted though.

this is what happens when you don't have beadlocks. i raced 9 laps on these puppies and managed not to get lapped by everyone at a Super TT event which will be posted soon on here also. anyways, i have mostly action pics now.

i really like this picture. we were running a super tight track with clay. on top of that my ride height was lowered for a lower center of gravity which made the rear tire lift a lot and the front end to dive. this pick is awesome. i love hanging off this thing and nailing it. between the rear shock/linkage/swingarm set up, it will NOT wheelie, even on starts leaning back, i love it.

rear end w/ the shock/linkage before it was rideable. pivot works got cheap on me and only sent half of the bolts needed to put the rear end together.

good side angle. i'm also sending out my clutch cover and exhaust shield to be sent out to Pappy for some red translucent powercoating. i am keeping the stock headpipe on there according to some dyno tests. if i get a little less flow out of the header and it opens up a lot at the end, then top end cam and piston shoudl be a super set up, i'm worried to get too much flow and having the top end setup with that pipe so i'm leaving the stock header on it and making it nice looking.

if it handles as good as it looks :D :D hey i'll be down your area for an neatv race at roush 6-11&12 see if you can make it;)

911, i'll definitly be there that weekend, i'm looking forward to it. and yes, it handles very nice, the motor is horrible as it is now but i'm sure it will be fine with the piston/cam/tuning. here's the swingarm. i have a sidewinder sproket for backup, i'll use this for a few months and switch, i'm getting the twin row carrier soon too and you have to take the whole axle assembly to get this on so i'll do it later.

I like everything but the handle bars, i dont like the cut, thats just what how I feel, some cr high bends or flexx would look trick. Or anything with some nice risers.

i wanted the look of the smaller bars but i couldn't get it so i just threw them on there. i need them to be longer so i couldn't reach to lean back on the seat more and i have the tendency to surf the bars so i wanted to prevent myself from diving over the bumper with higher ones. i really like the feel of them.

thanks alot. with a few more mods it should be one of the nicest R's around i hope. Big Gun is offering me 50% off all products so I think I may sell my piston/cam/pipe and get a real setup through them.

btw, how did your a-arms turn out?

i love the Maier, mine fit really nice, one year guarantee, inexpensive (less than 400 all including hood retail), way stronger than stock. they are very stiff and i'm very pleased with them. i reccomend them.
