Probably won't be able to stop him now!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing Laughing Laughing !
Funnyman,you made the ride worth while even with the break downs! It was a pleasure to meet you,and Brent!
If I had just taken an hr,I could have had it running again! Evil or Very Mad Believe it or not .....all that was wrong was the nut that holds the starter-clutch in place, CAME LOOSE!!!!! The down side was when I got home and took it apart.... I killed my stator d'oh! !!!!!!!! If I would have just taken a few minutes to do more investigating,I'm sure TH,or someone would have had the right puller for the flywheel!!!!!!!

Any-who a small ride may be in the works for early/late fall. Incase anyone might be interested.

Mike

Well ok,but only if you tell me how your buggy rode after you changed your swing arm mount.... You did lower it right????????? oooooorr did Funnyman tell a Funny Liar ?

Before I drop the buggy back on the floor,I am considering the same thing.
Oh I know it....it gives me a reason to drink! Laughing

Yep I did lower it to the bottom hole and I like the results. Some say it raises your CG and will make roll-over more likely. It actually gave me a little more ground clearance and at St. Joes on the woods trail. I rode the 100 trail 2 times - once with swingarm in upper hole and once with it in lower hole. I could tell a difference with the ride...more cushion/lot less dragging on the rocks I guess...Did not feel like it was going to roll-over any more than before--actually felt like I had better control! Don't know it was really happening or I just wanted it be that way Rolling Eyes The only concern I have is the way the bracket is shaped on my hh150 when I lowered swingarm to bottom hole--when the swingarm maxs out when compressed down the bracket seemed to lightly hit the swingarm only on one side? I have not investagated this since I've been home, but it was such a case that it worried me, just maybe a little grinding mod! All in all I will not move it back to top hole .....I like the diffenence it made Wink

I said above that 'it worried me' and I actually meant 'it did NOT worry me'

just wanted to give a shout out to everyone I saw at the Rally. I was only there saturday, but had a blast.

Eggy...aka ...Bob, Thanks for the ride and the race. If they made a two seat pilot, I would be sold. It was a sweat ride.

It was good seeing you again this year.

Chris

I will try it..... CG doesn't really bother me to much(I deal with that everyday),I am however looking for a smoother ride, since where I ride sometimes is ALOT of rocks!

Ribs are on me,I think a few of us are going back to St.Joe in the fall. No exact dates yet....., but any,and all are welcome to attend. I'll remember my camera,Promise!

Mike
