Thor.230 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 well, after a couple a years a waitin im finally in a position to start buildin my dream quad (and im in okinawa with 22000 acres of jungle to ride in well anyways after i get back from leave in Dec. im gettin the quad and goin to town on her but i want some advice to stop some of the problems im bound to run into before they happen for the motor im goin with the ESR 409 PV cylinders (and crank,exhaust, and air intake) but what should i do for the bottom end. im gettin the complete hinson clutch, but i keep hearin talk of shift mods (aint ot sure what sure what this is, will it help for MX, XC type ridin or is it just a drag thing) for chassis componets i want gibson long travel a-arms and swingarm (anyone reccomend somthin else, any good/bad experiances) how is handling with these. where should i gusset the frame (im way more concerned with reliabliity than weight savings the terrain is pretty rough out here) are the gibson parts pretty rugged or is there somthin tougher. does toomey still make their high capacity radiator? i couldnt find it on their site. thanks for the help (god i cant wait, i get warm and fuzzy just thinkin bout it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreestyler Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 nice man. should be swet when its done. If money isnt an option i would go with roll design lobo 2's on elka track shocks. and also a lobo 2 swinger with the elka in the back and an rpm dominator 2 axle. as for a radiator i would go with a pwr. thats pretty much all i would switch BFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor.230 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 money is and isnt an option, it is to the point im not gonna just buy a part cause its more expensive but i dont mind spendin extra if the parts are gonna last longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreestyler Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 well personally i would go roll design over anything like part for part. they have been in the atv industry for a long time and alot of the pros run roll design stuff so its been proven and tested by some of the fastest mx racers out there like gust, cain, and eichnier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would buy Lonestar, Quicksand, Gibson or Jannsen. Find whoever has the best price and buy them. For radiators, Cascade makes the nicest one I've seen for the price.

switchblade Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I would go with a cheetah or a cub they both have a better port layout to start and they are niklesiled so the will last longer. The esr cylinders are just the la sleeves with powervalves and a billet head.. I ran the same setup with out pv and was not impressed. I'm running a 485 cheetah now and it has lot more power. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I was going to say the same thing, cheetah would be better all around IMO. What type of riding are your going to be doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboybanshee Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 how is roll design not a proven company? 407901[/snapback] He's talking about their Lobo arms, not the overall company...unless I misread his post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreestyler Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 He's talking about their Lobo arms, not the overall company...unless I misread his post. 407904[/snapback] even that how are the a-arms and swingarms not proven. I was just thinking though thor.230. sanddragon motorsports has a sweet package with the swingarm, a-arms, shocks, galfer brake kit, axle for about 2500. that is prolly something to look into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Sounds like somebody should be considering an outlaw frame and suspension setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor.230 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 its gonna be used for more mx/xc type ridin. i was thinkin bout the outlaw chassis but i was hopin to save a few grand by sticking with the stock frame (but now that the idea planted in my head, outlaw all the way probably outlaw all the way i keep gettin mixed review on the cheetahs (or rather trinity) i keep hearin avoid trinity, any one have the 400 or 421 pv cheetah cylinders? i do like the idea of the cylinders bein coated bein coated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switchblade Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've been a dealer for trinity for years and have never has any problems with them. If you look hard enough you can find people that are unhappy with any shop out there. I love my cheetah, would recommend them to anyone.
