Nice vid. Thank you for sharing. Your comments at the end are pretty much shared by all here!

Looks like it rips pretty good!  Have you had on the sand yet?  Little Sahara or any place?

We’re gonna try to get it out to little Sahara In January if we have some decent weather.  I’d prefer temps above freezing.  I really need to tear it down and paint it first but we’re just having so much damn fun with it I can’t bring myself to do it.

nice video. looks like a great layout for testing and thats a rough ride for sure. now if those runs across fields were smooth then just wait until you hit the sand!  if you find smooth sand it will feel like a pillow lol one thing i would say before a trip to the dunes would be that if your gearing is right on or damn close...... go  1 step deeper before the sand trip. if 1st gear takes off from a dead stop with out throttle ( some call a useless 1st) then your right on the money for sand. not saying you cannot make it work for a trip.     jumping off of terraces is a blast!!

Sand is definitely hungry for HP. It eats it like candy.

with all the bike powered rails i have run at little sahara dunes, i can say as you leave the pavement into the sand, the power feels like you lost a cyl !! you will have the time of your life at the dunes for sure  ;D bigger hills and some challenging driving.

look at the diff contours

Aptly named vid! Allan is definitely a dune mover.

Maybe Derranged will pop in with his AR51 GSXR 750 gearing setup. It also depends on tire size too obviously, as well as paddles vs no paddles.

Nice build,and that video was awesome. Glad to see you're testing the capabilities of the roll cage too.🤣👍 Might not be a bad idea to add some window nets or wrist restraints especially being that your type of riding isn't for the faint of heart. 😉👍
See you all duneside.😎🤙

His 750 is now. Busa! 
I feel like the hearing is a bit o. The high side as it is.  Unfortunately a 60 tooth in the rear is as large as I can go without some major mods.  I’m running a 13 in the front and would like to find a 12 but so far I’ve had no luck.  I may end up making one.

His AR51 was a 750...

His completely cut apart and redesigned bad ass buggy is a Busa.😉 It's heavier, wider, longer, has more ground clearance and more travel. Was just trying to see if he might jump in, but it sounds like you may already be familiar with Justin and his build.👍

I ran into ther same issue trying to find a 12T. Ended up going to Sprocket Specialists to get mine.  https://sprocketspecialists.com/ Price was cheap too. Hopefully they have some in stock for ya.

grimm or deranged would know more about this than myself. lancew posted a set of rear drive plans that are stronger. did they allow for a larger sprocket?

sprocket specialists have a much larger selection than one would think  :D  they had an 11 tooth for a honda 929rr. would never reccomend that of course. it only lasted 1.5 years as well but made a huge diff compared to the 13 that was on it.
