I personally like http://quicksandmotorsports.com/ There are quite a few people on here that have his products.

As high as your pipes will let it rev.
-
It may clear Ive never ran one.
-
Think there will be a performance hit if I bend or dent the left pipe a little to make it fit??
When I had my cpi's and shearers I had to have one carb tilted to keep it from hitting the pipe. Just leave the carb turned a litte it wont hurt anything, as for the filters get some high temp hose and put over the stinger tubes.

lockup just keeps from lettin the clutch slip. if you plan on dragging you need to get at least a duneable override cuz its gonna be hard gettin it to shift fast. i run lockup on my 10mm cub that i hillclimb and it works great. but i also have a duneable override..
My 4mm cub was alot harder to shif after I put the lockup on.
-
Im getting a 1-5 duneable.
-
There shouldnt be any reason why they wont fit.

Supposed to have sent me money for parts and It never came, kept saying he sent it out.
-
Yep, I started to buy a new on and couldnt find one that day so I tried that and I worked great.
-
I thought it was easy to change, I use a socket that was about the same size and knocked it in.
-
I didnt have to drill anything I just used a small bit to bite on the screw from the other side and basically threaded it right out, I dont remember the size of the bit but anything smaller than the hole will work the one I used was about the size of a pensil tip.

You're gonna get a million answers on what the cubs are and are not good for.
I trail rode today, in a little mud and water...and I 100% hated it. No traction with knobbies...either on the pipe or locking up the brakes, more often than not the latter....
Here's the dilemma...
If you want a cub to run to it's potential....you build it as a drag and dune bike. Forget the trails.
We're talking 35mm or larger carbs....top end pipes, i.e. Shearer, CPI, Rocket, GRR, etc.
Or...you could choke it down a little by keeping your pipe and carb setup.... It'll be ok, but...In my opinion....it's still gonna have a lot of power that is unusable on trails...
I went from stock carbs and T5 pipes to RDZ/Shearer inframes and 35PWK...and...I'm not done. Pretty soon, alky, over ride tranny, lockup clutch, etc.
Since you do a little bit of everything, here's what I'd suggest.
Get a trued and welded 4 mil long rod crank, get a good dune port to match the new crank (port timings change) run the 795 series pistons, cut and mill the head. Then, pickup some 33 or 35mm carbs.
I think that would be a better all around package than a cub setup....for all around riding like you said.
It would be more power everywhere, better torque, but...it wouldn't be out of control for the trails...and still pretty reliable.
This hasnt been brought up in a while so I will stir the pot. If you want a superior cylinder buy the cub and have it decked down to bring the port timings to a more tame level........... this should get some stuff going.

Loco you should put this up on PS there are quite a few VA guys on there, they may go and get your cams for you.
-
You buy the cub for the stroke you want they are cast in stock, 4mm, 7mm, 10mm and so on. When using a long rod crand you will need the pistons to go with it. With the cub you will not need to use the dome cut for the stroke the cylinder is cast for that already if I remember correctly.

You should contact a builder instead of trinity or alba you will get better advise and more than likely a better built motor. Try looking around on planetsand.com also.

Take the hub and flip it over, use a small drill bit and run it into the screw from the back side and it will push it out. I did this a while back.
-
Those tires are for dragging not dune riding.
-
Im sure it could work, just no telling how much more work it would take.
-
I dont know if the saber can be built out of the lt bottom end, alteast Ive never heard about doing that it has always been honda bottom ends.
-
I wouldnt mind having that to ride around here myself.
-
i would run 50/50 and switch to 40:1
Why do you say that?
baddshee I guess I should ask how much is being milled off? I know people with 30thou taken off and they are still on pump fuel, porting will lower your compression also. When I had my dune/drag ported cylinders from passion I was running 18cc domes and only had around 170lbs on each cylinder. 32:1 will be fine if that is what you want to run, I personally run 927@ 40:1 but it is all your choice when it comes to that.
-
You should still be able to run premium pump fuel.

Just use the IMG tag at the to, pic with a tree and instert the link. Has that r been sitting outside since it was new.
7 Mill cub

The 7mm should make mort tq than the super cub will there is only a marginal gain over the regular cub.
