I double checked the pegs and they were from a 03 YZ450F.
This should help..

The cool thing is if you grind to much off you can lasso a seagull passing by and get some squeezing on it. :-o

reason Im asking.. is the fastway pegs have moveable inner pins,   so you can run them in hight locations.   

which could be a problem modifying

 :-D Yeah he weighs about 130lb so that doesn't help either.
Lot's of things fell off, mostly chassis bolts that were finger tight.
All the engine bolts were torqued and looking good.
Standing back you could see bolts unscrewing...  :-o
No worries, we got out the torque wrench and gave it a once over.
We will be re-torquing the engine bolts tomorrow.

I was surprised as well.
But I think the extra internal baffling helps with that.
I want to build another sometime but I need to get other mods tested first  :-)

For our baseline tests 50/50 Preston/distilled water.

Head temp





I'm in desperate need of a pipe for this project.
The pipe on it is bent and does not mount real well.
This will work for now but it's going bye bye soon.
