Default WHO NEEDS A SNORKEL WHEN YOUVE GOT....

PONTOONS!!!!HEHE

CLick on my pics below and go to swimming cat! It is Crazy. The water we are in is about 6 ft deep!

ALso I added a couple of new pics in "new cat pics" and in MY PHOTOS.

For all of you who like out doing the hondas there is a good picture of the 450 02 model with 27 titans and lift trying to go through what i went through, and then a shoot after of hm getting pulled. Of corse he blamed it on the tires. Take a look at his facial expression. I love it when they hate the cat

We rode at the White River National Wildlife refudge today! Alot of fun!

I watched a Polaris Magum and Honda 450 come across a lake with my own eyes. I would never had believed it if someone had said "hey guess what I saw". They were running 27" 589's. I think they used a cajun dri-stor in the rear and ammo boxes in the front. They had to balance them and just roll along in 2nd gear. It was really cool to watch.

I also watched Scuba Steve at Gator Run. Honda 300 4X4 with snorkels, I dont remember what kind of tires. He went out into a running river crossing, about 10ft at the time. He rode out, up stream a little, and back to the bank, it wasnt easy though, the wheeler wanted to flip over on him. very impressive.

"If you build them, we will float them". Quoted by Me

Does water get into the gear cases in the front and the back? What did you make the pontoons out of?

That was not CatKrazy in the water. The Cat diffs are sealed with a small strechtable closure.

Mine slowly leak through the seals even though they are sealed.

CatKrazy are you out there anymore?
What exactly do we need to float our bikes "safely"? I was going to get out a calculator do conversions, but my mind don't work like that lately (twin boys) and make a PVC pontoon, but maybe some one can save me time of a dunking. Bike is 2002 400i =200# rider.

Any lockers for a 02 400i?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

I've seen a few people do it, not many though. One guys put basketballs under his racks, when flat, then inflated them. Don't know if it made any difference.
