dajogejr Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 I didn't see a 10 gallon gas tank on that...other wise, he sure ain't going 60 miles on a stock tank with that motor. Clean bike...up until he put craptor plastics on it.....I bet it is an awesome duner for sure. I could build my bike twice for 12500 though... Quote
91banshee Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 i get about 10 to 12 miles per gal , around 30 miles to a tank , no way can he double that Quote
dajogejr Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 i get about 10 to 12 miles per gal , around 30 miles to a tank , no way can he double that ESPECIALLY since he said dunes, sand puts more load and suck more power (and fuel) than just old hard packed dirt trails.... Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 Everyone has his or her own style and taste, but those fenders just do not look right. At least there is another place for a lunch box or a thermos now. And I agree about the fuel mileage, I do not see that happening. Maybe he was drafting! NOT! Quote
Bansh-eman Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 i love the 421 cheetah with the trinity pipes Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 i love the 421 cheetah with the trinity pipes Whats wrong with that?? Trinity pipes are very nice pipes... Quote
Tapatalk Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Thats been on ebay for like a month. Nice and clean but the plastics are horrible looking imo. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Whats wrong with that?? Trinity pipes are very nice pipes... whats wrong with them is that he has a drag style motor with trinity pipes. thats the same thing as putting T-5's on it. Quote
Jhughes7 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Isnt that motor alittle much for 8 paddle haulers Quote
Bansh-eman Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 the bike is setup for duning but the motor is setup for drag... someone didnt do much research before building... he has 8 paddle haulers on 10 inch rims, trinity pipes and a 421 Cheetah Quote
RNBRAD Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 I think the 421 cheetah with the Pv's makes for a better dune motor than a 421 cub and the cub is the most popular aftermarket dune motor, probably due to price between the two. If I had my choice of any dune motor, that would be it. Yes it would have Trinity's on it. Couldn't pay me to run anything else for an all around dune motor. Drag only, different story. Quote

Cubs are so cheap to build, in comparison with the other motors out there. I really want to ride a 4 and 10 mil cheetah with the power valves... I've only ridden a 10 with the PVs blocked off...damn drag racers...LOL. Quote
Handyman Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 I couldn't imagine what a bigger cc cheetah PV motor would feel like power wise. I know my 421 PV is a beast and I haven't even started to tap in to the extra power it has to offer. every time I get on my '99 I at first think something is wrong because it doesn't accelerate as quickly as the 421, then I remember what shee I'm on.

Drag only, different story. once you get past 1/4 throttle the PV is wide open anyways so then it becomes pointless. thats if the pv where not welded. Either way you look at it the motor was intended as a drag motor and guys have just tuned around it to use it in differant applications. Trinity pipes on that motor is stupid. If your going to build a duner why bother with a 421 . just stroke a set of stock jugs and get a nice port job. less chance to kill your self in the dunes and still will haul some ass up the hills Quote
