I try to stay out of most of this, but this site tends to like conflict more than content lately. We all know Loco is opinionated and that's what makes him, him. Does that make him good or bad, no.
But Sandstar, what I don't get is that you have taken this negative attitude toward Patriot(Dan) just because he is trying something different with a motor. Wow, just because he happens to feel a Cub can be made to run more than one way, he know doesn't know shit about motors. You might want to do your homework before spouting off. I don't think Dan is trying to drum up work here. Try making an appointment to get wotk done and answer your own question. Nobody ever said he built the fastest motors out there(including him), they just said that him and his motors are "very respected".
I know, Glamis, this Sand Mountain that, Take a Cub, throw a big crank in, and just about anyone can go fast, that's the beauty of these jugs. But not all of us ride dunes all the time, some of us have to have a meaty powerband, not a wide open monster.
Hell, I took a set of jugs off a street bike, added some stroke and had the shit ported out of it, does your way of thinking mean I should have never done it because that's not what the cylinders were intended to do "originally". That's absurd, as soon as someone quits trying to build a better mousetrap, progress stops. Progress isn't always made by success, it sometimes comes from failure.
