New Lexx exhaust?

Noooooooooooo......We know about that too..........

WHats the estimate on weight savings, I know you have done your homework. Are there drawbacks with the 8s as opposed to 10s and 12s.

Dave the 8's (Duros) weight 19lbs, the 10's weight 21lbs (Ea). So that's 4lbs less to spin. Not to mention the 4-inch contact-patch on the ground. You might say "4-lbs ain't much" but trying to spin 4 extra pounds with barely 25 h.p. amounts to a big difference IMO. If we were running 100 h.p., 4 pounds wouldnt matter that much.
I've always been weight-weary with my ride, maybe to most it don't matter.
But my results have proven itself in the past.......................Light=Fast Oh and of course there's drawbacks but, look at the serious mudders, you see them running 12's??? nope, they run the skinnyist and tallest tires they can find. I wish I could find some 8's that were 26 to 27 but not mud-tires.

You had your shocks rebuilt.

New rear hubs?

Its all sparklin clean <------- My guess

Agh nevermind, no correct guesses. You'll find out soon-enough.

so is the build all about? You said you were done racing it as it broke too much stuff. Is all this just to beat the rzr's?

No Gunny I am not out to beat anybody. Just want a little more in the grunt dept. Like I told momma, I can spend a few hundred and get her dun, or spend 10k plus for a new one. Shes much happier with the first idea.......and if momma ain't happy............you know the rest.....

Cage finished, ready to install.

Auto-de-compression cam installed into new cam.

KMS ehxhaust-studs installed.

The cage looks great !! How much more ya like on the parts list?

All I lack DD is the cylinder to case stud-kit,my fault, I thought I ordered the complete kit, head to cylinder,cylinder to case. I only ordered the head to cylinder kit and after counting studs went......... I'm a dumb-ass. It should be here this week and we will be running by the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I can't wait to see the new look and hear that motor thump !!

Cylinder and piston in today.

Yeah Chris I went ahead and did a cam, Hot-Cams Stage 2.

She runs!!!!!!!!!!!! The difference in power was well worth the time and money!!!!
I've only put 2.5 miles on it so far.

Well done jimbo.

I can-not get my camera to focus on this dang plug.........I took 20 pictures in every mode?? But you can get a small idea of the color, it's light-tan, which is not bad, but not perfect, maybe a little on the lean-side. So I changed to a 175 main fron a 165. It might be too fat now but I'm gonna run it as-is till I get a few miles on her.

Got to set your camera to Macro mode for close ups Jimbo.
