trickedcarbine Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Many bikes in the for sale section that will motivate a big fella such as your self. Might have to buy a sand bike and change a few things though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1991 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thank you for your input I really appreciate it, what would you need to change from a sand bike tires mostly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstaton1983 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thank you for your input I really appreciate it, what would you need to change from a sand bike tires mostly? Most sand drag bikes are geared for 300 feet. So tires and some extra sprockets should get you going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah you can start with tires and gearing changes. Depending whether or not you find a rigid or suspended set up maybe some suspension adjustments. Then, start looking at the lock up tuning stuff in the drag section It should also be noted that with that distance you will need to look in to a set up with a bit less timing and a not so crazy compression ratio. It may sound like a lot, but really all you do to make dome changes is pull the head shell and swap the inserts and torque it back down.
