The Ultimate Off Road Bonanza Build Returns
- Thread starter Bonanza Bryan
- Start date
Didn’t get a lot done today. Started mocking some stuff up and making a shopping list for some odds and ends. I have these gas shocks that were too long and too stiff for my old suspension setup but I am thinking one of them would work well in a mono shock type setup. I’m going to try it I have plenty of room but I need to fab the new swing arm first before I start mocking it up
looking good bryan. I see your going with the torque converter. your going to run into a rpm problem where your not going to have enough rpm's in the short distances to get the bike into it's power band so it can accelerate strong. one thing that will help little is install the largest sprocket that will fit without a ground clearance problem. two you will need at least a 3000 stall in your torque or it will be a real dog coming out the hole at low speeds.
Have u seen the new “SUNF” tires they developed for small off road vehicles? They have deep tread like the xtrac but are also rounded for traction in the turns. Snow hogs and xtracs are aggressive but the compound they are made out of is purpose built for snowblowers. I have experienced chunks breaking off of my xtrac tires. Grind hard plumbing runs the sunf tires on their camaro power wheels go kart thing. They are essentially miniature quad tires specifically designed for off-road and higher speeds.
I run the SunF Power II's and I highly recommend them also they have the same tread pattern as above. Too bad you would have to rework your frame.
I cannot use them in my yard because they cause too much damage when accelerating. The tread on the side make them feel really secure in a turn and not worrying if you are going to wash out.
