makes sense to me.

 

Nothing like the dedication of a Dale owner! I can't think of any other bike to replace the Dale. I have 2 Dales and a 250R and a Banshee and I like the Dales for all around riding Best!
Looking for some good deals on the Dales, If I can get an extra for parts cheap enough. Even through all this I'm getting the 450 kit with full mods done as I type!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I'm keeping my dale!!!! I don't see anything coming out any time soon that's comparable to it.
Hey Sandfan, what's this 450 kit you're talking about.

 

check out www.southbaymoto.com if your not afraid to spend money they offer 3 different engine kits I think there is 450, 460 and 470. The biggest kit promises 51hp on race gas.

 

my bad stage 1 offers an increase in hp but no increase in displacement. Stage 2 = 450 and Stage 3 = 460

 

Well I don't want people to confuse performance loyalty with brand loyalty. I am in no way brand loyal. I just won't trade a quad with good power, handling, and reliability (atleast mine has been reliable), for a quad that just doesn't measure up. If Honda, Suzuki, Kawisaki, Yamaha, etc produces a quad that out performs my C-dale, and I'm in the market for a new quad, I'll buy what ever is better.

Like I said, PERFORMANCE LOYAL, not BRAND LOYAL.

 

I'd build another quad just like the one I finished for my son:

PRP frame
Laeger ProTrax front end
PEP/ZPS shocks
PRP swingarm
Lonestar axle and bearing carrier
Hiper beadlocks
Holeshot mx's
ESR 310 motor with CR250 ignition
ESR pipe/silencer
quadtech seat, radiator shrouds, master cylinder cover
400EX rotors, brakes and calipers
Fullbore plastic
Tag T2's
Clarke tank
PWR Denton radiator
Graydon bumper, grab bar and propeg nerfs

Only the new motor would be a ESR 265 power valve!

 

briansgi,
Sounds like a sweet bike man! I take it then you got your PEPs? There are a couple of people at exriders that just got PEPs as well and they swear it took 4 months. I'm suprised you didn't take a hostage wating that long...lol.

MxDale71,
I hear ya man I don't think performance wise anything touches the Dale. I do like some of the things Polaris has done with The Predator I just wish it weighed 20 or 30 pounds less. I still love to ride SparkyEX's Dale though I'll tell ya that.
Later, Digglersaurus Rex

 

Here is how I finally got my PEP/ZPS shocks, I ordered a set of Elka Elite's and called my bud who I ordered the PEP's from and informed him I had just ordered some Elka's and to cancel the order with Wayne. He called Wayne and said I was cancelling the order and within 3 days, I had the PEP's. I obviously called the shop where I ordered the Elka's and cancelled that order. It's really said you have to go to that extreme to get the shocks, especially after waiting 10 months to begin with!! The mistake I made was I ordered the shocks from a sponsored pro rider of PEP. He never wanted to call and pester Wayne on the status of my shocks being afraid of pissing Wayne off thus causing a delay in getting his own shocks.
I will say, they are sweet shocks, but I'll never wait 10 months again for anything!

 

That is really **** poor customer service
