I have a stock loking 04yfz with the mods listed in my sig. Last fall my case cracked. Its been a long winter spending a lot of time wrenching and ordering parts. Went with a +3 hotrods crank, sent it along with a new venom piston to crankworks. Got used cases and put new bearings and seals in. Motor is back together and in the quad. Still have to hook everything up. Wont be long till it fires now(hopefully). Anyway I got some parts in the mail today that I thought I would share what i have so far.

+6




22" 9 paddle double buffed extremes


Set of plastic I cut, still needs paint.


DOZER520
i would be very interested in hearing how this works!
especially how smooth the motor is with the balanced setup.
may i ask how much the crankworks services were?

Looks real nice Chuck. A big congrats. I want to see how those tires work out on the strip. If you can keep the front end down it will haul!

Tire/swinger setup will be very close to jfyfz's(Jamies) setup last year. It worked very nice on his quad. In other words Im shooting for the 4 second club(with my quad this time).

As long as you still plan on it, I plan to be there the second weekend in april.

Took it for a couple rides tonight for break in. No major issued found so far. Seems to rev nice and smooth. w00t.gif

Bringing my swing arm away tonight to get tabs welded on for a rear chain slider.

Its time for some better names.

Update... Picked up a set of 4 snows. Might also try a couple dirt drags this year. Still waiting for swingarm pivot bearing, chain, and chain slider to show. coffee.gif

Swing arm is on. Got to ride it for a while again today. Everything seems to be good. w00t.gif
About all thats left is getting my cut fenders painted and put on.
Gave it a quick bath, threw the paddles on and took some pics.

Just got a Tony Hawk helmet cam off ebay($35). Thought I would try it out. Aso put a set of 4-snows on. They hook a lot better then knobbies as long as Im rolling.
