438# with a half gallon of gas.
$10 walmart scales so no actual valid weight.

Feels like a rocket. :)

Wheelie like a rev shorty.

What's your overall impression so far?

Have you been able to take any long pulls in the steep & deep?

Inquiring minds want to know.....LOL

So far.

Its a wild ride, ski in the air.

Definitely trenches when its deep (12 1/4" wide I suppose)
Really glad I didn't make it any shorter track.

Bumpy trail handling seems fine. Lean back and pin it.

Long pulls make for a pretty high ground speed.

The ease of sidehill is pretty cool.

I also spent a bit of time on my brothers 300/ Mototrax enduro.
That thing is sure fun in the "ride a pit bike around the yard" sort of mentality.

I'm going to modify my spindle for a little more trail and see how that affects handling.

How high from ground is driveshaft centerline? Can yo post a good side view pic?

I don't remember exactly how high it was.
Sold it last spring.

Too much gyro effect in that 800r.
If i do another it will have a much lighter rotating mass in the power plant.
(And clutches)


I wanna say 11-12" centerline off the floor in the garage.

Well, it was certainly interesting to watch the build process from the sidelines.

Hopefully the OEMs are paying attention to threads like this.
