There ya go. I wasn't sure if you two were still a couple or not.

That's what I was thinkin too. Hell don't all the Obama phones take better pictures than that? Not implying you have one, just saying who doesn't have a decent phone/camera anymore?

I'm surprised you haven't gotten any recent nut swingin comments. I wouldn't ever do that. But some of these guys on here are real dicks....

Aren't the little lions Tyler's deal?

I've always thought that if I did a stockish bike for the kind of riding you are doing, I'd build a bullet proof bottom end. Then grab a stock stroke serval and clean up the castings. Run some 28mm keihins and maybe some pro circuits or try some dmc 916s. There'd obviously be plenty of other little touches, but that would be the main players.

Put up a wanted ad for some headpipes. Some guys have old crappy ones layin around for cheap.

I've been eyeing that 6500 rhyno on CL thinkin maybe that's more my speed. That 25k is prob a f'n blast. But I couldn't bring myself to do it either.

Crappy ad?

So is the 1000 the same as the 900 just with more motor? Or other changes that really matter?

How are you adjusting the mixture screw? Or are you?

There's stock cylinder bikes running around making 100hp. Just get it done by somebody reputable. Cam at Redline seems to be the man here lately. A decent port job, carbs and pipes is worth around 65-75 horse usually. That'll feel like a rocket to ya prob.

This ^^^ is why I asked what he was doing. That's all good stuff you've listed. But he prob isn't riding like you do. He could get by without alot of that. No need to cut the trans for a fairly stock motor. Or case port matching. Etc, etc, all opinions. No bad stuff, just possibly more than some people need in their first build. I know PLENTY of people that have no business riding a ported 4 mill. Just too much for some.

If you want to go the stock stroke route then ya get them both looked at. If one of them is good enough then you could just get it trued and welded and be on your way. Most places will do that for around $75 I think. Don't dick around with the local yocal bike shops though. That'll turn into another conversation.

That cub looks like a decent deal. There's stock stroke serval cubs out there too that aren't as drag oriented as the standard cubs are. One if those would be better suited for what you are wanting prob. There's other options out there. Doing the crank right and going 4 mill as a very viable option. I've got one and have had for years. But it's more money in setup and initial cost. We all preach about "doing it right" but there can be levels of that I think. Depending what you're going to do with the bike there are things that can be cut out of the equation that might just be overkill for what you are wanting to do.

You have to realize there's more to it than just a 4 mill. We all throw that around like its super special, but it really ain't that big of a deal. Little more torque I think if done right. There are stock stroke builds out there that run baddass too. Porting is a HUGE part of it. Then all the supporting parts. You can't just throw the baby stroker crank in and call it a day so you can sound cool to your buddies then expect it to run good. Way more to it than that. If you want a screamer for cheap buy up the stock stroke cub topend that's for sale on here and slap that on your crank after you get it trued and welded. That'll be more than capable of eating your lunch and on the cheap.

Exactly why I asked the questions I did. That thing has slow ass pipes in it and you thought it was fast. Every bodies idea of fast is relative. If a stock raptor is a fast machine for you and your are happy with that power then most of the stuff commented on here will prob get you wrapped around a tree and life flighted out. You would prob be more than happy with a good stock build and making it reliable. Some decent pipes, some cooling mods, decent suspension and ride the piss out of it.

5 paddle staggered glider. 97 roll out. Or you could ask Cam. I hear he's been around a few bikes.

Have the cylinders been bored? Did they get honed to the piston size? If so it'll make a difference. I think a previous post said to make sure not to mix up pistons per side.

What kind of bikes have you ridden in the past and what kind or how much power are you used to riding?

I just put 30 pilots in a stock motor with pipes and it's pretty crisp. That thing of yours should be a mess to ride. Surprised it hasn't melted down yet.

I've got them on my turd right now. Running a decent durablue axle. Lil snug, but they go on. Little different thickness though. Might have to get creative with washers and nuts.

I'd like to have that to slap on a stockish bike. Don't have one though. Haha. Bump for ya

Damn I'm glad I don't have one of those. Nobody likes me. My shit would never run.

Like jr dragster or something? Not bicycle shit though right?
