arfountain Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 That's the whole science of it, and that's why we all pay big money for ours to be built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubitza123 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Theres a guy on ebay selling some very nice chrome-moly complete subframes for like 200 shipped all you have to do is cut yours off and weld it on in 4 spots. As far as the rest goes just look at other drag quads and you can see what braces etc have been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowriderb Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 alot of the builders that build frames will start from scratch and have their own jigs they like to follow.. a stock frame cut and extended is one way to do it if you only want to mess with the front end geometry and not the cradle for the motor.. for a flat drag bike i would look into getting a full rigid chassis, if you go out and hillshoot/dune drag look into a suspended one.. the difference in the chassis will come in when you decide what size motor your planning to go with..

WFO350 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Check out fourwheeladdiction.com I had them cut my frame and it is nice as far as a cut stock frame goes. He does quality work for a reasonable price. Only draw back is that he is in Utah but shipping was only $100 bucks. If you have the coin go with a full drag chassis.
