    summer project drag bike

    WEll I'm wantin a summer project. Im want somethin thatll hall *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* through the dunes. Ive got a 82 250r in fair shape that I'm wantin to drop a cr 480 motor in it since I've been told that theyre a pretty easy drop in. My second idea: Ive also got a 98 blaster that I'd like to drop either a cr500 or yz426 or something close to that. I really dont want to use a different type of chassis either. I'm wantin to stay w/ the blaster or . What do you guys think. just give me some help to straighten out.
    My bikes:
    -1982 honda 250r
    -1999 HONDA 300 Fourtrax 4x4 "The Tank"
    -2001 harley 1200 sporty

    I would buid the 480 trike... with that kind of power a blaster chassis would be a joke...

    A fat tire R would be a nice duner. The Blaster would be kinda stealthy with that "aircooled" stock looking motor in there but you'd give away the surprise with the extended swingarm you'd need on it.

    I rode a stock width blaster with a +4" over swinger and it 2-wheeled worse than any 3-wheeler.... A trike with a +4" turns way better IMO... And with a trike you dont need to buy extended a-arms or fancy shocks... or live with the awfull vibrations that come with the quad chassis... Plus a fast 3-wheeler is just plain sick.... a fast quad is just that...another fast quad...

    Cool man, I've been very slowly working on the same project with the 480 . I'm using an 84 frame with is a little different but its the same idea. I heard the same thing, that it was an easy bolt in mod. Now I'm not saying its overly difficult but there are quite a few things that come up that dont often get mentioned. For example, both the kick start and shift have to be modified, they dont clear the frame. I am planning on having a shaft machined that fits on the splines and brings it out about 3 inches, and then having some bracing underneath each. You also have to either reweld your ATC pipe or CR pipe, or have a custom pipe made. I'm having my brother reweld my ATC pipe. The rear motor mounts line up nice, the front you need to make some but its not too far off. I have a thread from when I started doing this with a few pics if its any help.

    I would have it done by now, but money has been tight lately, school has been really busy and my motor needs more work than I thought. Post up some pics if you end up going the 480 route!
    85 Tecate, 2002 Honda 300EX, 83 & 84 250R, a bunch of honda 4 strokes from 90 to 200cc, a klt 110, ytm 200, polaris 250 cyclone, '05 Roketa 125 (cheap chinese pitbike to beat on), '69 Scrambler 6x6, and a 52 John Deere B (hey its a rowcrop narrow front, that counts right? )
