Sounds awesome, get some video posted of that thing running as soon as you can!

 

Thats going to be a Monster sled.......

 

Aw sweet, you beat me. I will ride mine definatly this weekend. I got stuck at work today and didn't get to finish up the wiring and plastics. I can't wait to ride it. We fired it up last weekend the exhaust sounded awesome. Tell me more after you get some more seat time. Again Congrats.

 

Freaking INSANE!
Rediculously crazy amount of power....

How did you get the chain drive to work? In the picture you have, the output shaft/front sprocket is a LONG ways from the centerline of the swingarm pivot. The drive line geometry is going to change drastically with every rear suspension movement. Did you end up putting on some type of spring loaded chain tensioner and hoping for the best? The rear suspension must squat to the max when you nail the throttle on that set-up! Perhaps the picture I saw did not show the final positioning of the motor.

 

Glad to see another Georgia rider [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. Ive been to valdosta before too. get more pics of that raptor!

 

Hey tintman, …you still around these forums? How'bout an answer to my last question? If it is possible to mount an engine in a quad frame the way your picture shows then that would GREATLY simplify the morphing process. I only have limited experience with motor swaps but I didn't think a set-up like yours would stand a chance of working worth a darn. Sure, you could throw a chain on and make it go but what keeps the chain tension proper for varying swingarm movements. And what keeps the chain from causing SERIOUS torque loading of the rear shock. Does your rear suspension even work when you are under heavy load? If there is a way to do it please let us know the secret. The hardest part of a motor swap is getting the engine crammed back against/inside the swingarm so that the front sprocket is both close to the swingarm pivot and lined up with the rear sprocket (no obstructions). Your build doesn't address that issue at all. How ??? This isn't a rip. I honestly want to know so that I can stop wasting countless hours doing motor swaps the way I have explained. Thank you for your time.

 

Hey, I placed some more pics (darn computer is being aggrevating)the pivot point is the same on this bike as the raptor. we made the frame higher as you can tell. But for suspension it tends to be fine. The motor sits 1.5 inches lower than stock. Bike has no problems so far other than the front won't stay down in any gear. I ran it up to 3rd gear but the front tires were wobbling so bad I had to slow down. Email me with any other questions. More pictures soon.

 

sweet, whens it coming to cecil?? I got to make sure i'm there.

 

Man I cant wait to see some video!
