badass build! How far are your tree bars from your back tires, they look pretty far, but it might just be the angle of the bars combined with the angle of the pictures? If you're coming to wellsville, you better fab up a cooler rack to hold the goodies!!! :twisted: :mrgreen:

sweet build. About the intube clamps for the ODY proofing, with the bars being angled, that isnt gonna allow it to slide out will it? Maybe im wrong But seems like that may be a problem.

There is some room between them, but its about the same as my old buggy and I haven't had an issue with it for the last 6 years. I will be building some cooler mounts! :wink:

These are the one's i'm using, they have 2 bolts that hold them together, I don't think it will be an issue. :shock:

Picked up what I hope is the last big item for the buggy today, custom built radiator! C and R racing here in Indy built it for me, 2 1" cores with dual 10" high flow spa fans.

That seems on the low side for the rear weight of that buggy. I am at 400/550 on the rear of mine. My front is at 250/350. Just put the 350s on the front over the weekend. They were at 300. Granted my buuggy weighs more than his however probably not by much.

I will check on the rear rates, I was thinking the same as rail1914 said but I'll double check.

Thanks. Grand total on the radiator or the whole build? The radiator was about 600 bucks, custom built with the shroud and dual spal fans. As far as the whole build I'm not sure, I traded a couple of things for a buggy that had most all of the parts and was about 80% built. I tore it down sold off the frame and parts that I didn't want and used that money to buy the new frame and the parts I wanted. So far I've come out about even on what I sold and what I've bought new. :D

Great build. Are those Corbeau Forza or XP seats? Did you have to move them back for proper fitment? I'm considering putting SS's in my new Stalker frame, but I'm concerned they will be too wide... Is your frame the standard width or 6" wider?

Thanks,

-Shaun
