locogato11283 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Its a joke from a long time ago about guys building big motors and stuffing them into stock chassis with short swing arms and no bars. i miss those days. Quote
FireHead Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 i miss those days. It's still going on........... That thread about running a 421 cub on an OEM keeps showing up with someone new wanting to do it about once a month. Quote

My +4 is just enough... but I run klaw xcr22's. They are about 46lbs a set on the hipers....so they don't snap so hard. 16-41 gears Quote

rubberneck Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 pretty much agreed here, my 421 was run with a +2 arm in dune configuration. It was a handfull. can it be riden and riden well hell yes, but it is a lot of work, you are constanly feathering either the clutch or throttle or both... not to mention if you like doing tree shots and crap like that it sucks. Definitely a case of less is more some times Quote
shanYE west Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 yeah.. but these setups were for drag racing... general riding/duning is a lil different. Quote

shanYE west Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 What is a stand up bike? From what I've gathered.. and still not a 100% sure.. but.. its pretty much a stocker bike with a huge motor. Quote

I mean, if I have a 20mil DMX in an OEM bike, I would not be able to make it past 3rd gear in a reasonable distance. :ermm: Quote
