FireHead Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 i miss those days. It's still going on........... That thread about running a 421 cub on an OEM keeps showing up with someone new wanting to do it about once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My +4 is just enough... but I run klaw xcr22's. They are about 46lbs a set on the hipers....so they don't snap so hard. 16-41 gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberneck Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 pretty much agreed here, my 421 was run with a +2 arm in dune configuration. It was a handfull. can it be riden and riden well hell yes, but it is a lot of work, you are constanly feathering either the clutch or throttle or both... not to mention if you like doing tree shots and crap like that it sucks. Definitely a case of less is more some times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 yeah.. but these setups were for drag racing... general riding/duning is a lil different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanYE west Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 What is a stand up bike? From what I've gathered.. and still not a 100% sure.. but.. its pretty much a stocker bike with a huge motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if I have a 20mil DMX in an OEM bike, I would not be able to make it past 3rd gear in a reasonable distance. :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
