ive wanted to build a drag quad for a while now, so here goes.
Frame - 400ex to be modified
a-arms - +2 JD performance std travel
shocks - still in the air, gotta test some stuff
swingarm - 450r +8" with wheelie bar
brakes - no front/450r rear with S.S. line
plastics - white fullbore drag cut
axle - stock 450r (for now)
steering - chrome Roll design with 7/8 clamp and drag bars
ENGINE - 800cc polaris most likely
im using a 400ex frame which i will most likely have to modify but its a good starting point. i used a set of 300ex shocks to lower the bike and still give me a little suspension for the bad woop sections where we drag. im going to have them resprung with stiffer springs if possible. i mounted the rear shock like a no-link setup which gave me the desired drop but it will be strutted before i run it. i will be using no brakes on the front. im going to cut or grind the aluminum spindle assembly to smooth them and reduce weight as much as possible. for the rear of the quad i will be using a 450r setup due to the better brake system and ive got a +8" swinger ive been saving for it anyway. im going to weld tabs onto the swingarm that will mount reinforcement bars that will connect to the top of the rear of the frame for more strength. im waiting on the axle and carrier to come in which will give me a rolling chassis. im still looking for some paddles that can handle that kind of power, im leaning toward some 22x11x8 16 paddle haulers but im not sure if that will be enough.
