How much do they weigh???

[Logan #34's Dad]

Trying to figure out how much the 90 Modified machines weigh.
I understand a JB is around 280 pounds with a 90 engine
JB: 275-280
Roberts:
Pitster: 275 - 285
Fisher:
Cobra: 250 -275
DC: 270 - 280

Any feedback would be helpful.

I'm not bored slap outta my mind, so I'm not gonna weigh them. But I noticed while moving qiads around the other day that our cobra was just a little lighter than the jb. I was actually surprised. My guess is that the cobra is within 15 to 20 lbs lighter.

Pitster Pro 125 advertised weight 244 lbs.

Our Cobra w/cr 85 is 276

We have a Pitster/4 play mod in here w/ a KTM 85.
W/ a standard Pitser gas tank 3/4 full- (which is a heavy tank even empty 4#'s)
Maximum RPM beadlocks (4)
Pitster axle ( little heavier than RPM)

It weighs 286

After doing a few of these now, I'm confident we will be able to shave off about 10# on the next builds.

Wills cobra with a kx65 engine weighed right at 250 with hiper beadlocks (very heavy wheels), 20 inch front tires and 18 snowhogs on the rear. Ryan's DC mod weighed between 270 and 280 depending on the tire and wheel set-ups. We had solid rear axles on both. Quite a bit could be shaved off with a ti rear axle set-up.

our cobra weighed 156lbs. with cobra shifter motor. Thats with +2 a arms and swinger. I am in the process of putting a cr85 in now so once it's done I will get the weight and post.

156?just an error I assume...256 maybe?

[qcitytile]

I saw a can am ds 450 that looked good in minesota they are lighter than all those pre mention bikes and you can buy a new one for 4500 at your local dealer take the motor out put a 85 in and go racing with the left over money. Crazy right!!!

[Logan #34's Dad]

It sure is crazy! These pre-mentioned builders know that we parents will pay top dollar for little Johnny to beat little Billy. It's a sad day when I can buy a race ready 450 for less than a 90 Mod.
I spoke to Jim and he sent me a video and some pics of that Can-Am RM85 Mod. That thing is BAD-A**! He said it only weighs about 10 pounds more than a JB. But keep in mind, it has a 3 gallon gas tank too. And he has not even tried to lighten it.
Geat idea for that 13 to 15 year old that has the right physical stature.
For what it's worth though: there is alot of fabrication to make a little engine fit in that chasis. Not just a simple process.

Tracy covil can convert any 450 you want . For half the price , I think he may know a thing or two about mods since his son is the fastest kid ever to lay a leg over a quad this century that is.

[Logan #34's Dad]

Just because Cam can ride don't mean Tracy knows anything about building quads. :blah: :blah: :blah:

Don't tell him I said that! :D

[mushinracing]

That's funny you best stick to being a cop cause the way Logan breaks down you would starve as a wrench. No bull that can am was sweet the pilot seemed young but quad handled sweet. . Hey do they have a crispy creme up there or is it dunkin donuts. I love the smell of swine oink oink.

[Logan #34's Dad]

LMAO! The only people that dislike we policemen are CRIMINALS. What's that say bout u??? Hehe. Listen sucka, I know fellow brothers in blue that work near your place. The next time u get pulled over - just think I way have something to do with it.... Lol.
And for the record - we got both! But I prefer bagels! :blah:

[mushinracing]

criminal I don't think so ,solider is more like it , we love cops some one has to protect the woman and children while we provide your security blanket . It's all good cpl duesnberry I didn't know you were on a diet I love donuts can't ya tell.

[Logan #34's Dad]

I've been promoted to Sergeant there private Ward. Believe it or not! They actually allow me to be in charge of my men and the whole city of 20k plus. Oh boy!

[mushinracing]

No crap you should see this can am you told me bout one ,was that it ,if so buy it. At least your In charge . Did they happen to leave you the evidence room key???

[Logan #34's Dad]

Yep, that's the one I talked to you about. It'd be a smart purchase for sure. I need to find a cheap rolling chassis. I'd drop a 150 Honda in that sucka!
And I know what you mean about the key. LMAO! And yep I'm the custodian of the evidence room as well. I got one of the two keys baby! The weight always is less by the time it's to be destroyed........hmmm.
