Looking good! Do you have a locker on that cat? If not imagine what it would go through with one. I know when I engage the locker it helps alot. Try out the snorkel yet?

bertram, i don't have a locker yet but i am playing with the idea. i just cant get over the stiff steering with a straight locker. i don't know if my cat is any different than others but the limited slip works just as advertised. if i have a free wheel just squeeze the brake, apply a little throttle, and power is transferred like magic. i'm told that mechanism will wear out over time so i just run the crap out of it while it lasts. on the snorkel; i guess the tires just won't the bike sink enough. i mean the air box is under water and it will go down to about where your butt gets wet and thats it. it just kind of floats along with the outlaws paddling away. i have had it in at least 6 feet of water. when i was testing out the snorkel i would get water in the carb drain (thats fixed now) in the middle of the pond, jump off the bike and the rear end would bobble up like cork. it sat so high out of the water i could drain the carb bowl in the middle of the pond, jump on it, fire it up, and ride it the rest of the way out. so now that the height of the intake seems kind of silly, i just look at it as the cat's middle finger fully extended and a fine how do you do.

lol, sounds fun. How much air pressure do you run in the laws? I run about 5 PSI in my tires but I have never tried to float it. I remember reading about how quads would turn over in the water because they were not balanced properly. That was an old old issue of dirt wheels though and it was a mojave I think.

i run 5psi and i posted a topic on HL today to find out adv/dis of more/less psi. nobody was really interested. i think another thing that assists me with floatation is; i got rid of that 30 pound muffler and the cargo box which fills with water immediately when its dunked. about turning them over; i find a spot to sit when i approach deep water and don't move until i'm out. i think not shifting weight aroung is the key to staying tit side down.
