Sounds sick! Have fun with it.

Nice choice on the ohlins shocks too. Yamaha and ohlins go together so well

get an X-RING chain... o rings just hold in dirt and water... a X-RING will stretch once and not stretch much ever again... you can loose up to 5% of power thrugh a crappy chain..

Whats up Jt. That whole setup you going with is great. Are those Cubs you running? What kind of porting and who did it? Those Cpi oof are great pipes, but if this is a play/dune bike they kinda get in the way on sharp turns. Anyway, all in all bike is looking Badass.

By the way, the +6 got put to good use. Thanks.

glad you liked it sick. much better then sitting in the garage. as far as the engine i dont think they are cubs. im not sure what is in the engine other then ported from a company back east as thats where the bike is from for mx racing, advanced timing, bored .60 and was told it is a 396cc (runs on vp 110) so it must have a high compression piston, trued and welded crank. other then that im still learning whats in it. im gonna drag this bike and once the motor is ready for rebuild im gonna go bigger not sure what size yet but i was thinking 4 to 7 mil not sure yet. bike is mostly for drags but i think im gonna look into some inframes to dune with as well just not to sure how the frame will hold up. its been lightened by metal tech here in az. so any ideas you have feel free to send them over.

if drag racing and occasional duning is what you'll be doing, I would look into getting it ported for that. The stock 350 cylinders will scream with a good drag port job. What tires/how many paddle you running?

i may look into getting them ported when i take it in for a tune up but im am still debating if i can afford it right now. currently i am running some 22" 8 paddle haulers.

I know what you mean, this type of build can get pricey. Those 8 paddles should work fine, but once you get it tuned/ported you'll probably need some 10-12 paddle extremes. Post more pics when you get her all finished up.
