This should wake things up a bit. We are jumping from 8.5:1 to 10.25:1 compression. This and a few other bits should put us in the 34-36hp range. One horsepower per CC!

Things are coming together. There’s always a roadblock though.

Ugh. Those welds..

And this swingarm is a major one. It came with Black Betty and took serious abuse on the trails. But, I don’t think it’ll pass tech at the races. Just a hunch.

I love the handling with the 6" extension though. So.. Build my own or buy a custom built one ($700)? I’ll have to do some math on that.

if you want to race, get a custom one.

“One horsepower per pound and almost one per CC!”

I’m leaning that direction. I sent a few requests out to a couple of companies that do bike arms. If it’s going to be custom I want to change the geometry a bit too.

D’oh! I was a bit excited there. I wouldn’t even hop on a 350hp trike. And I’m pretty crazy.

Fixed!

No Boss Hoss in your future, then?

They’re neat but wtf? Really?

I thought you liked odd 3-wheeled suicide machines with over 300 hp?

Something tells me that may be total rubbish off road. It does look better than a Slingshot though. Is that a Big Chevy?

445 hp Corvette engine. I bet it would be fun in the dunes with some paddle tires and a few suspension mods.

I can almost picture it!
