jriffe23 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Im going to start a thread on my mild drag build. My budget is not extremely huge so im going with 4 mil hot rod crank on stock cylinders full drag port, vforce v2's, FTZ out of frame pipes, timing plate at +5 and hopefully get my hands on some PWK 39's here pretty soon. I only get the chance to work on it every once in awhile. I picked it up in the St Louis area for under $1000 just needed to be put together. For the most part it is all there but of course there are a few things i will be needing. Now after getting a good look through the parts, here is my running list of what ill be needing: (Feel free to let me know if you have any of it forsale) PWK 39's 65.00 Pistons Swingarm bolt and nut 3 point a-arm setup +10 or +12 swingarm stock carrier set up rear brake disc pro design 4 mil cut domes driveline performance lockup So that is the major parts of my build and i will keep this thread up to date as i work on it. The only things that are really done so far are the steering stem in place with handle bars and the bottom end complete besides the driveline clutch which will come when i have the funds for it. I do have the cylinders on right now without pistons so i could get an idea of what the pipes will look like on it. I'll keep this updated and maybe i can get some parts that you have laying around off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockenrail Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Agreed, run it. I assume its a drag build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's survived for YEARS without buckling. Run it and let everyone continue to shake their heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jriffe23 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 yes its a 4 mil stock cylinder drag build. Basically poor boys drag build. Any ideas how it will actually run? Will i be impressed based on my experience on my mainly stock trail bike with t5's and coolhead pwk 28's??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 It will be a whole new level for you. If you are like most others.....2years from now it will be a completely different bike with a Built Cub motir in it.

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tell that to a heroin addict...... Judging by the list of stuff in the garage……I'm thinking Heroin might have been a cheaper addiction. It's the same as drugs……."Come on dude…..just a couple more HP and I'll be good." Quiting is harder too. If you're a Heroin addict it's frowned upon. But guys with fast bikes are idolized by those with less powers. HP = FAME If you wanna quit Heroin….there are outreach programs, rehab facilities, a whole cottage industry to help. But try and quite HP…… ….You loose all your friends (nobody wants to wait for the slow guy) You loose the fame (nobody walks up to stock bikes in awe) You loose hope (without powers….what's the point of life?) What now….have fun on a Warrior or commuting in a Prius? In the end the only ones who quit are those who walk away because they have run their lives into the gutter and have no money left to play that game. (Builders of powers want DOLLARS) Even top racing teams in NASCAR fold up without a sponsor…..because even after all the wins and all the prize money……they still need MORE MORE MORE MONEY to compete with the other HP addicts. Pocket change isn't going to get it done. A REAL addict needs the good stuff. B A N S H E E Horsepower - Heroin Quest - Quest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
