    Looked at the cam installation instructions... I am NOT a motor guy. I will take anything else apart, but that looks intimidating. Not particularly hard, but one should know some things it seems-rotating until they all line up; jeez, I would never be able to trust that I had it right. Should/do those chains ever need to be replaced? Want to come visit in August?

    Not this time. But a strap was used on one occasion to get Dave out of mud. Just a slow gentle pull was needed.

    Never seen a rotor wing that didnt leak, I think it's a required design feature.

    I mean, I'm.only an apprentice. Still learning all the things :D

    This sucker gets 20 mpg, and it is decidedly not stock :D

    Also requires all 4 limbs to drive

    Thanx for the :help: Spaz. My hitch skid dug into the bank as I dropped into the mud hole. If the skid wasn't on I would have slid right in. We had decided that we had enough wheeling for the day and were on our way out when I got hung-up.

    I thought you were already part of the Dobinsons gang? Or is it shocks for the ATV? ;)

    The Dobisons stickers are junk. The purple faded to robin egg blue within a year and the layers were separating. The top layer looked like wet and wrinkley toilet paper. It was detracting from my otherwise wonderful sticker collection :headbang: and had to go.
    (Their suspensions however, are pretty nice)
