I started putting the swing arm today, went pretty smooth other than a couple snags with bolts being to big and not enough spacers, still working it out. I believe i found where i want it to sit, but it leans forward a bit, once you sit on it will it compress a little and level it out more?

The air box mod we did, its hard to tell but we cut it right at the crease so the big ass reservoir can fit

Any suggestions would be helpful, I'm hopefully going to be getting the shock mount welded in tomorrow or Friday I:II:II:I
 
I was thinking about doing 14/41 give it some more toque for wheelies
Do you have a problem doing them since you put the new swinger in?
 
Well thanks for the help bud. I'm considering the gearing mainly just depends on how much the chain (65"??) and brake lines cost
 
I'm going to call the guy today that did my motor work, b/c he can get parts cheep and have them at this front door the next day
 
i might have to take you up on that offer b/c he can't find those anywhere and ebay they're like 50 bucks
 
Yo m8 looks real good! Did you make that swinger yourself?

No, i wish i could weld that good. I know a guy who works at a body shop and is a really good welder (obviously) so i had him do it for me, 50 bucks parts and labor

looks good man. how hard was the rear shock to get set up the way you like it.

lol i'm not done with it yet, i still have to get the bottom shock mount made. But the top mount on the blaster it too big so i packed it full of washers (3 on each side) and its still a little sloppy so i'm going to try and fit a 4th in there somewhere. as for the bottom we're just going to make the two mounting brackets fit exact to the bottom of the shock. but the guys wife just had surgery and i didn't want to call him up and be like "i'm waiting" you know

right now the quad is being held up with a piece of wood while i try to figure out where i want the stance
