Orange and white is my fav, but lime green, shocker yellow, lollypop blue, canary yellow those are all good two.

my foot pegs and rear dog bone are chromed so I powdercoated the inside of them as well as my rear brake lever, turned out trick, the chrome never seems to look very good in those areas anyways, and all it ever did before I did that was rust inside there. I would also powder coat your banshee cases if you are taking your motor apart to. what you can do is endless, just use your imagination. Have fun with the build and good luck.

wow...that pic showed up small, lets see if I can load a bigger one....lol

Blue is always a sweet color, if you plan on powdercoating I would powdercoat the hubs, spindles, sproket and chain hub as well, maybe even the food pegs and levers to give it some contrast, if it is your budget I would chrome the a arms and swing arm or go with another color maybe a silver, white would look good to but would be high maintence. Here's a pic of mine below to give you some ideas. Good luck man and have fun with the build.

Ditto, I ride the Oregon dunes as well, most everyone we ride with have the same thing....22-11-8 super lites. Paddle count depends on the set up. I had 8 paddle on my stocker with a 6 over arm that just had bolt on goodies, did great!

BigRex350x's recommended set up sounds good to me, I might ad some Paul turner pipes for low/mid range power and some 22/11/8 tires to keep you out of the ruts for less chain skiping if you are in some deep sand/dirt/mud or what ever. Maybe 9 or 10 paddle depending on swing arm and gearing, you want a little wheel spin so you don't have to worry about the front coming up unless you want it to, thats my vision of a sweet tree shot machine

The only thing about Winchester is the drag racing scene is not very big unless you organize it and get a lot of people together, but they have some wicked tree shots, the biggest and best in oregon in my opinion as well is some pretty big dunes.

where ever you camp or stay don't take any chance's. Better safe then sorry. Discovery point is always good, they got RV, tent sites as well and furnished cambins for rent, Half Moon Bay is also good, I think there prices are $15 a night for a single site and $75 a night for a group site which can hold like 9 plus big units. Check the weather for winter riding, you never know how its going to be.

If your hitting up the tree shots at Florence, Coos Bay or Whincester I would go with a 10 paddle super lite sls that way you can still have a little bit of tire spin in the trees, yet still be competitive when racing at the hill. I'm 290 and on my 4 mil I ran 10 paddle with a 13-41 gearing and loved it for an all the round set-up, it let me have some wheel spin when I got into some real steep or new tree shots to help keep the front end down. But a 11 or 12 paddle would work to, its all in the set up, it just might make the front a little light.

If you want the ultimate trail tire for turning I would recommend the sand star double rib. However, I don't really care for the look, I like the full buff look myself, that is why I went with the Cascade Cutters which is on Cascade Innovations website. There the next best thing and still have the full bead buff.

I'm a two stroke junkie and always will be but however I give credit when it is earned. A built yfz 450 is capable of beating a 421 cub. I've seen it plenty of times. I got a buddy with a stock stroke stock bore drag yfz 450 ported by MMAD that holds its own. He races in FSA. But 99.9% of the time there is no way. Granite he wieght's 160 lbs and his yfz450 weighs 230 wet but like I said it can be done but very rare. Other then that most people just like to talk the talk.

nice man !! you dune that much being on alky? Cam at Redline is good people.

porting makes all the difference in the world man !!!

In my opinion, if you are new to the drag racing scene I would find a builder ( a good builder with experience) Tell him what you are looking for and have him build it. You can learn so much from a builder with years of experience. You can always be involved but having someone to help you and guide you can be a life saver, and after some experience you could do it all your self but it takes a lot of time and patience. Jumping right into a drag bike project with limited experience with the expectation of a 3 sec run is setting you up for a dissappointment. But with a builder, that dream becomes closer to a reality. You can have a 3 sec motor but if not set up right you will never get there. A 10 mil billet twister or DM can get you in the 3's but thats fast and if its all new to you I to agree that you might want to start with a little smaller motor. And trust me, everyone on hear can tell you that it is an addiction and one expensive one. As a 295 lb rider is say good luck and have fun !
