Are they any different from what you were using before?

Took a hiatus after that trip and got the minibike ready for the GPS 180 race. I raced it solo and completed 14 laps in 3hrs. Pretty good.
Anyway purchased all the irs parts, purchased a vangaurd 20hp vtwin, raptor 660 front suspension.....

Some quick specs. The spool has a razor 1000 brake rotor and caliper, streetbike sprocket. Mazda miata axles bolt up to the spool and take mini cooper hubs (golfcart bolt pattern for wheels!)

Front suspension is yamaha raptor 660 a arms hubs and knuckles (with disk breaks)

Honda trx400 shocks front and rear

Duromax 440 mild build (for now.....)

Comet 780 driver and 90D driven

Final drive 9.4-1

22" front and rear tires.

Shooting for >575lbs

Ordered a briggs 23hp cam for my 20hp briggs. The 23 cam has .050 more lift and is a good mild upgrade on the 14-20hp briggs.

Bent up the driver hood bar today. Have a little more fitting to do before I can tack it.

yeeehaw! Now that’s a big block. And it comes with a spare cylinder.

 

[Eztrail]

Started the passenger side hood bar

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Oh man. That would drive me nuts trying to make it symmetrical.

 

[Eztrail]

Well see how this one goes, may have to make the passenger side twice, hope not

You use a tubing bend progran? Or you manual calc guy? Or maybe a look and bemd guy? Nice work whatever method you use.

 

[Eztrail]

I mock up stuff sorta. Then build the first side and try to copy for the other side. I use a digital angle gauge and an kinda wing it.
