like deals that Ive done in the past, it's all or nothing. When I do a project, I'll wait a year or so, then just off the rest of the stuff free of charge to get it out of my way and clean up the shop a lil.
I originally bought/got 4 1/2 blasters to build the one that I have now. I took a lil over a year to build it and along the way found better parts (after I chromed a bunch of what I had). Then once I had everything that I thought I wanted, it was time to finish it. A year later, after I know that everything on the bike is as I wanted, it's time to move forward to the next project (biggest, baddest Suzuki LT80 the NW has ever seen).
My last LT80 I built for my daughter when she was just 5 included a 3mm stroke 105mm kit, 10 shot of NOS, 20-10-8 (6 paddle haulers), +4 swinger, +4 axle, +11 wider front end duner.
Here in the NW, the peewee sand drag racers cannot exceed 6.5 seconds in the 100yds. Kara's 80 the first time out ran 6.9 seconds. She held that record up til just last year when a kid from Cali came to one race and ran a 6.88.
Most piped/paddled 80's will run the 100 in 11-14 seconds at 27-30 mph. When bracket racing, the kids would have over 1/2 track head start before she would see the green light and still beat em to the finish running right at 52 mph.
Now it's time to build a 6.51 second LT80. Ive got a great lil bike now that runs perfect. I just picked up a spare motor that Ill strip in the next few months and start building. Im thinking of no NOS this time, but instead mating a KX80 water cooled cylinder to the block and a 3-4mm stroke crank. Should be able to build 110-120cc bike that would put out all motor 20-24hp. Stock 80 is 7-8 hp.
I used to sand drag just about every weekend, now that the kids are getting older and play more mainstream sports (soccer, football, basketball) we dont have time to run the 3 circuits here in the NW like I used to. So we just dune ride em now.
