j_rod421 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I'm getting my new 421 cub motor put together and will be staying with the stock swinger mostly due to finances. I only ride the bike at the dunes. I am a fairly well experienced rider and could handle the stock length with a 4 mill with factory cylinders with a drag port job. With stock gearing I'd have the front end up through 5th untill the last couple feet of the drag strip. With my new found power, is this going to be just plain annoying with a stocker or what would be a reasonable minimum on extended length. I'd like to keep the semi factory look to the chassis. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's not that crazy if you are a good rider in the dunes. If you are trying to win drag races, then it's a terrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 IMO...it's going to be a few things. Annoying that the front end comes up and unable to shift for shit under full throttle without a dunable override and lockup. My opinion is find a cheap/used 4 over to 6 over... or get yourself some afflack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSSSSS! Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Eliminate chain torque. Soften up the rear shock, get rid of the upper chain roller and use a slider. Correct chain adjustment through the entire range of shock travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogs Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Too bad your names not swingarm builder :biggrin: . Its all preference man but obviously you'll be pulling wheelies everywhere. Just wait till you have enough cash to dump a little into a swinger. If your trying to save money just wait till the time is right. Oh wait builder is the guy above me ^^ : P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur! :thumbsup: Just like riding a trike in the dunes, as long as you know the machine's limitations and characteristics, you will be fine until you can get an extended swing arm.

J-Madd Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I had a stock swinger on my 392 Cub once. I would pull power wheelies on gravel with stock tires when the power band hit in 4th, or maybe even 5th gear. Crazy passing a bolt on modded Banshee that's WOT in 5th or 6th while in a wheelie on gravel. Last time I rode it without a plus 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
