I "started on his mother" years ago

Well, I prefer my Axis Pro-Air front end more, especially as I built it myself!

Anyway, I have a new challenge for you.
Can you get this bike completed before I get my Yamma-Gamma hybrid built?
This is an RG500 (square 4 2 stroke gp replica motor) that will make 110hp approx
into a YFZ450 chassis.
I still have to:
- fully strip & rebuild the motor
- fabricate the 4 expansion chambers
- fabricate engine mounts
- assemble engine & chassis, & then lobsterback the expansion chambers to fit onto the bike
- make air intakes
- custom nerf bars
- etc

You have a huge headstart, this should be a fair contest. I aim to be running at christmas!

UPS guy HATES me

[Alkire193]

What is all that stuff?

[Krandall]

He forgot about it!! ^^^

[Peelz]

What is all that stuff?

some packages from colombia...mind your business.

[Alkire193]

Shush!

I think Shawn taped up the old boxes and wants us to think these are new parts. I am interested to see what's inside (cause I have no idea)

[Krandall]

no.. really. The best part is.. that you have no idea.. Shawna had to tell me last night, cuz I forgot too!! It'll be a pleasant surprise sunshine

[Alkire193]

I think it's my quad from Kev, he said it was supposed to be there soon. 

[Langford]

So he didn't sell all your parts to somebody else?  What was the build supposed to be? 

[Alkire193]

GNCC turbo kit, before rule changes, etc. Then it was a beefy 727 build. I might still go 727, stock bore with a +1 head and a +3 tb. Im just talking cause I haven't really thought about it. But the Pro Armor box is likely my nerfs, the rest is...well....the rest. Motor is coming soon, he had to break it down and ship the pieces one at a time for it.

There should be some studs, a PC5 or two and some Fluidyne radiators in there. Those are the key items I wanted to get to Shawn's house.

Chris, you sir have managed to fill up a 1700 sq ft garage!

I've opened a few boxes and its they're full of SHIT! Just random raptor parts. If you dont mind I'm gonna head to lowes and buy some big ass totes and get some of this shit sorted out.

On a side note the UPS guy that droped the stuff certinly had fun. He took one pallet of shit in the garage and  saw what was going on with the raptors and the mustang and struck up a conversation. He didnt leave for 20 minutes


I'm afraid to open some of the boxes. I roll some of them over and I hear nothing but loose nuts and bolts rattleing around 



Also, when I droped the last batch of parts at the PC'er the owner told me about some guy that droped some other parts off  that there was some guy that build ATV's out of his garuage and does some really nice work. We figured it out to be me Some how the word around town is getting around Omaha

FYI the poly skids that TAG makes are the SHIT!!!!! I went to Arkansas this last weekend and beat the ole raptor on some extreemly rocky trails and it held up very well! The trail management people built tons of berms across the trails to slow people down. They ended up being jumps. I would jump 4'ish feet off them and bottom out on some 1-2' rocks and thought this skid would be TRASHED! I got home sunday and checked it out and it held up PERFECT!
