How much lighter can I get my stock frame. No tabs have been cut. I have all the light bolt ons. Didn't really want to go to a drag frame but might have to
-
What kind of engine is going in it? Making a stock frame lighter isnt going to make you faster
-
330 done by bubba. 75.5 hp full over ride, alky etc. it's in custom seats Louisiana old chassis
-
since when does descreasing the weight not eqaul going faster ? on that same note, shaving off a couple tabs probly wont do anything but waste your time. jumping into a dedicated drag chassis should significantly reduce the overall bike weight which would certainly eqaul going faster

Im saying I wouldnt waste my time trying to shave weight off a stock chassis. How much weight do you think your going to shave off? might as well ride naked and take some exlax the night before a race lol. My LSR hillshooter (stock style) frame weighs 8lbs less than a 88 i had. My LRD weighs 13lbs less. If you have a full blown drag engine your not going to be using it for anything else other than drag racing. Now Kyle if i remember correct Custom Seats old frame was a 450R and it was already shaved which should be good for now but you should be thinking about going to a rigid in the future if your that serious.

Stock frame Banshees are running 3.50s. So yes you can modify a stock frame and still go fast.

So what is the advantage of a aftermarket drag frame?
-
We all know the answer to that. But the way you talked, you couldn't go fast without a drag frame.

My frame is a stock 89 frame. I didn't buy his hybrid.
-
im assuming youve removed everything but the bare essentials ? front brakes should be gone. oem shocks should be gone. oem swing arm, axle, a-arms. all the shit is probly real heavy. get rid of it
-
Only thing stock on the bike is the frame cases and rear brake caliper. I have drag axle, arms etc

Jus lighten the stk frame and chk the lbs. I like stk frames for drag racing. Are u setting this up rigid fo track or suspended fo dunes?
-
Dune bike john. It was at the hq ride. It was the white one with white 89 plastic.i was going to do a sub frame and cut the stock tabs off it that's a lot of work if it doesn't help much
-
Anything u can do to make it light is good. Power to weight ratio is a big factor. I do things to save ounces.
-
I just don't know how much weight I'll be able to actually save on the Honda. It's not like I can cut a bunch out like on a banshee frame.

im not saying theres anything wrong with using a stock chassis especially if your on a budget but it seems like alot of times you have to use a long ass swingarm. drag chassis appears to have a better distribution between the swingarm length and chassis length and engine location.
