That's actually a pretty good idea.
damn look at the footpeg shakin in the kx500 vid. if that footpeg is bolted on tight, holy s#!t :eek:
I don't want to disparage anyone's work, especially not a work in progress but I think the kx500 vid is a bit misleading. The trike has folding footpegs and the spring that should keep it from flopping around is obviously missing. Also, no silencer, the pipe is probably not installed completely....it's a work in progress. I think I am going to move foward with my plan.
It's a Tecate built by BigGreenMachine over on E2S and it's awesome but he does have bad vibe issuess.

Hells you might as well check out the whole thread it has some good tips and tricks addressing this problem.

My quad somehow escaped all that. Could be the way I mounted it- flat steel on round frame or maybe because my crank is smaller with not as much weight swingin round in there. At any rate do it and start a build up thread I'd definitely check it out...PB
I saw that earlier. I am really digging your Blaster and I am not really a Blaster guy. I would like to see it in action. Have you really ridden it hard yet?
Thanks man. No I havn't driven it hard since the upgrades but not cause I havn't tried. Shes just too tired both the bore and the leaky stock jetted carb. You can bet I'm getting antsy! I called Boretech again today for an update and they said my jug should ship out today or Monday the hold up was the headwork. They are probably tired of me I've called 3 times since they got it. In preparations I re-packed the silencer that was half blown out. I replaced the tiny Uni filter that came with my airbox with an 8 inch K&N w/Outerwares cover. Also a set of 22x11x9 Razr's are coming on Weds. I'll save the mud tires for well mud... and snow! As usual my budget project has gone spiraling out of control :D
Dude, I know about getting antsy....I am waiting until I get back from out of town to sell my EX motor. I have 3 people interested in it, but working out of town means.......no sale! As soon as I get back and the EX motor is sold I am starting on my conversion!
She's all done and barely broke in. Here's are some longtime over due vids. First one is a rev up mostly to show the difference between now and the other one. It revs now-instantly!
