My bike is a semi-stock suspended drag chassis that weighs in a 315lbs with wheelie bar, fuel and nitrous. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Cool! But is it stout enough to race on the hills here in Oregon?........or anywhere for that matter, lol. I ride St. A's as well.

I would like something a little more flexible that I could easily make rigid and competative on a track as well.

Any ideas?
One of them Raptor 700R's in your sig could be made into a 325 lb duner real easy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I know a guy who will build a chromoly frame and cut out tons of weight in stock form. This guy makes everything and is good. I just bought a wheelie bar from him and he makes Aarms, stems and subframes also.

2000 for a stock setup chromoly frame with stem ready for Aarms. Aarms are 4 to 500. Huge weight savings and updated geometry. This what I wrote down after our conversation. He makes axles, hubs and I beleive swingarms

Is this chassis setup for hill racing as well as flat drags or is it best for just flat drags?

I meant the stock Aarms and shocks will all bolt up including the swingarm. He made me feel like he could do it anyway you want. I believe its frame, stem and subframe ready for motor and stock parts to bolt up
