What motor are you planning on running?

 

im not really certain what engine id run. likely a 400ex engine. or possible a bigger 4 stroke motorcycle engine. what would you recomend?

I am currently looking at building a sport quad from the ground up myself. I am thinking of a Honda cr450f motor, and a new Arens Bros frame. John Arens is just starting to produce a frame that will house either a 400EX motor, or a cr450f motor. I currently have Houser a-arms, and an RPM swingarm, along with Elka suspension that will bolt right up to his new frame, saving me tons of dough. I will return my 400EX to it's stock form, except for the 416 kit, of course, and add all of my aftermarket goodies to the new frame.
