JB4XX Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Holy wow!! Very nice! Did you weigh them to see how much weight is saved/gained? A lot of beer cans gave their lives for those hubs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB4XX Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Get the other side done? Weigh it? Try driving with them? Did it change the width of the front end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Get the other side done? Weigh it? Try driving with them? Did it change the width of the front end? did both at the same time really, just shot the one as soon as I got it mounted. Took apart a few times to make changes. Had put together with the old bearings and got the new ones in yesterday..and finalized. Went to do a test ride and feels smoother. About 20 miles and seams to be a lot better. Hard to say. but Looks a lot better. They work, and are two pounds lighter each. And I will bring the adapters to you when I see ya next week end. I made them 3 inch wide and the hubs and adapters were 3.5 inches so I am an inch narrower. I could have gone the same but, the nut and carter key is pretty far in the hole. And the trailer is a little tight. Next is the wheel centers....can't decide if I am going to do aluminum,,,, or Lexan. That will drop maybe 10 pounds per wheel.

Byrdman Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 That will drop maybe 10 pounds per wheel. Here come the second gear power wheelies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 That will drop maybe 10 pounds per wheel. Here come the second gear power wheelies! That would really be nice. I need some weight transfer. With the sand tires the front is pretty easy to bring up, but with the street tires, only time I ever have is in the sand. Made for a great shot though. But, the difference is really the ride, if two pounds makes it that much smoother, think what ten will do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardCranium Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Sweet work, Stan. Nice! Now if only you had a mill.. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVLXX Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Take them back off, Put them back on the lathe, and polish those Beauties. Then go for the Lexan wheel option to show'em off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
