Alkire's Practice Bike................In The Works

[Alkire193]

Shawn has been busy 

What do you mean "bottom end completely gone"? Like, the crank is toast? If we +5 the crank then we are talking 771. I loved my 771 in the trails, but do you really want to go that high? We can also just send the OEM to Falicon and have them do some nastiness to it. Maybe lighten it and replace the bearings. New Falicon rod and a cryo treatment or something  like that depending on what their say is on it.

Lets do an OEM airbox with an EHS airbox lid. Does anyone make an aluminum intake hose that feeds into the OEM aribox?

Monsters new single exhaust is great. Lets do it! 

If we are extending the stock swinger +1 or +2, that needs to be shipped off.

Please ask Bo to ring the cylinder, it just prevents the all to common HG issues everyone experiences. CP piston sounds great. Pump gas OK. Lets order the x-2 and the 50/50 and compare on a dyno. id like to see which has the power delivery for this build.

Do they not care about sound at GNCC races?

[Alkire193]

AMA rulings apply. Monster has a quiet core 

[Gunz]

Which suspension are you going with?

[Alkire193]

Shawn has been bouncing from Elka to Fox to Elka to Fox. I think we settled at Elka Stage 5's because $1000 more for Factory Shox wasn't worth it. Whatever he decides ill order them up

Who was doing the ring where it has the mating ring valley in the head? Was that Bo or Barker?

[Alkire193]

Bo does it. So does Woofers67. Woofers had a post on MR about welding and cutting the water ports to flow better as well as ringing the cylinder. I know and trust Bo though. One of the only guys on the forums i've sat down for a beer with.

Parts are in route  Thanks to Steve @ TQS and Kenneth @ KBMotorsports. They had some of the best prices and selection for my quad!

Ordering more tonight

Why in the world do the Canadians get to have all the good parts

For tires I was thinking something like this.

Or this

[Alkire193]

Those will be good for dry conditions. I already wanted the front quadcross tires, so id have to say yes. What about Holeshot HD's in dry conditions?

Semi-muddy ~ RAZR rears with RAZR 2 fronts

Mud ~ GBC afterburns (or similar) and RAZR 2's

Did you get a chance to talk to Kenz about the throttle body?

Kenneth can probably get us a Blue Houser stem, but its going to have to be built from scratch. The black ones are drop ship.

About 3/4 of the parts are ordered. 

Does anyone have a good idea for an axle hub nut? The stocker and the one I had with my Durablue axle didn't hold up very well.

The RPM one is a very nice piece

Are you referring to the threaded nut with two set screws?
