I got some work done since my gearing calculations were WAY off, started with about a 3:1 ratio which is usually a good starting point for low end & speed. I've got it down to nearly 4:1 with the new sprockets coming first of the week-I hope that's low enough as I couldn't get it to move without dying out with my first set up. I channeled the rear sprocket area for a 50t+ sprocket. If you've ever changed a chain on a hammerhead 250 you can barely get the chain on with the stock 39t.Got the drivers seat in, widened the frame by 4" on just that side (all day project). Got the shifter/clutch in and re-used the stock F-N-R shifter for my Polaris tranny with a gator shifter cable. I'll get a video of it soon for reference purposes.
