Looks about right to me, to short of a chain can be a bad thing also....

 

Thats accually about where the stock engine was and no you want the chain as long as possible. With this much weight and power the chains tend to over heat and break/stretch when short. This is about a perfect length

Edit: All chains stretch, but if its too short it will stretch until it breaks

 

Here is the latest progress

sorry crappy pics, we put it away before I could get them

 

less picture time, more work please thank you your welcome

 

Worked on it about 10 hours today....

 

awesome, maybe see it at the dunes in August? yes?

 

I hope so...but there is a lot of work to do

 

yeah just given ya a hard time. But It would be sweet to see it in action when I'm out there.

 

we need more saturdays like yesterday. got a lot done. except none of that messing up my shoulder. lol

 

then go slow like me

 

Any more updates?

 

Lets not talk about it

seat mounts.!!!!!!!

 

what has happened with this build you guys still working on it or what?

 

It was put on Hold for a while during the summer.

Hopefully soon I will start on it.

 

Yeah I know this is old but did you ever end up doing anything else with this Josh?

 

no its sitting in a barn. I think he said he was planning on selling the engine soon.

 

I got a house and am getting married so it has been sitting in my dads barn.

Right now I'm working on putting a V-twin in my quad. Its something I can do at home and is fairly cost effective for me at this time.
I am also very familar with it so its not as hard for me to keep up with.

I have been parting out 1.5 quads on ebay and I am selling the R1 engine so I can get some money to finish my quad as it is a little more practical to use on my land.

After that I want to get a trailer and just beat on my Jeep for a while and would like to stick all the suspension components under my Rhino. But I really need to get my own shop before tackling this.
