Cool man.

hi everyone,
itook some pictures, the off road trip video will be ready in a few days. enjoy!
waiting for a response.

as you can see in the pictures i made the upper mount for the shox,im waiting for the heim joints from summit racing and then i will fabricate the rest of the arms(i made demo a arms and all the conecting rods)i will use the fox 10' travel shox.cant wait to see how it works.

Wow

thanks steve.

WOW...PLEASE SEND THAT VIDEO TO HONDA. That is an excellent all around job man. Very inspirational for sure. Any casualties or breakdowns during your trip? How does the new 4 stroke feel compared to the Original Powerplant? Looks like it really pulls...great video.

Very nice job!!!!!!!!! the place you are ridding looks like allot of fun where is it?

what did you make the filler piece out of for the body work? (see picture)

also do you have any video with out music I would like to hear what it sounds like?


Again you do very nice work very professional.

Did you by chance stretch the chassis and if so where?

in this post he stated that he lengthened the frame.

Great job again.. this time on the video...
Whats with the canned ham shirt? In a Honda that's a no go...
I agree lets hear the machine.... and where is the rest of the video at approx 49 sec in ... must have been fun getting up or down from there... Tell the story...
AWESOME!

hi all pilots,good to hear that you like the video, there will be more(and without music).
the first run was very good but i needed to change the spring and wights of the clutch,
the next run(the making of the video)was much better.this Engine pulls very strong in any condition, its always spins the rear wheels.
the Engine is very quite so it feels like you are going slow but as you can see on the video it rides faster then the polaris rzr.
the top speed was 125 kph it was unbeliveble.i have 15 liters of gas and its good for 120 km of hard driving.
this 4 stroke Engine allows you to ride it top speed all day long.
i streached the frame by 180mm, i cut it where the seat ends.i cut the front side of my old side panel and place it in front of the new side panel and that's how i "streched" the side panel(after i streched the frame)it was very hard to do all this work.
so far so good every thing works good and nothing broke.i still need to assemble the rear fox shox and test it.
in the video im riding in south of isreal there are lots of it in here.

you are right about the shirt, wont wear it again!!!!!!

Maybe you have found the Engine Honda should be using in the 2012 Honda FL600 Pilot?

The down tubes were custom made then? Any hopes of modding the head or high compression pistons avail for that scooter Engine? Know any specs on the bore/stroke and piston deck height or anything? Really is a stellar build for sure...love the reluctor ring and speed input sensor. BOOOOooooo on the shirt tho lol.

Hoser praising a four stroke?Whats this world coming too?

Beutiful pilot by the way,nice job!

Tal,

Nice job!!! You need to teach me how to stretch a pilot in less than 3 years. Haha Could you show where/how you stretched the frame? Intrested in any variations.

Akpilot

that's great job you have done, very impressed!!!! how fast is it compared to the original Engine???

"praising a four stroke?"

Wow your really struggling for something not sure what it is lmao

Yeah,i'm always struggling for something!

It was a joke Hoser,I didnt think you were a big fan of modern four strokes.So to hear you say put one in the new pilot was a suprise.No big deal.

Oh I am not a fan of the modern 4 strokes meant to replace the 2 strokes when they grenade it cost a small fortune to rebuild and they are short lived, you can do the same job with a 2 stroke for 1/4 the cost, to jet one of these modern marvels cost you 500 bux +, remember all the kids bitching about spending 40 bux for a hand full of jets to jet their 2 stroke now the jackasses shell out 500 bux and never think twice haha, the whole concept and package is just plain stupid, any carbon foot print saved by going to a cleaner burning 4 stroke is lost just in all the extra parts required to make a 4 stroke vs the 2 stroke not to mention manufacturing, shipping, storing, inventorying, packaging all these extra unnecessary parts required to so the same job talk about stupid.

My comment was based on the fact that Honda was one of the major players that killed the 2 stroke Engine and unless something dramatic happens I doubt you will ever see Honda produce another 2 stroke that leaves you with a 4 stroke, any chances of Honda making a 2012 Pilot that has anything other than a 4 stroke is slim to none.

I would assess my comments to analyzing this subject as being realistic if anything not sure why your pushing for anything else

Seen a brand new 800 watt generator for sale the other day at the local farm store for 190.00 had a 2 cycle Engine and meet the CARB requirements, not sure how they pulled that one off I almost bought one just to experiment with and to CSI the Engine, I was really shocked to see it 2 cycle.

I"M NOT PUSHING FOR ANYTHING! AAHHHH...NEVERMIND!

hi, akpilot
your work was my inspritation!!!
i visited your project numerous times befor i cut mine.(then i understood why you didnt recommend to do that).
but it was worth it.
i cut the frame at the down tubes in the middle of the bend.made a new longer bend and inserted it in the streched frame.the rest was simple.
i need to find this stage pictures, there you can see it all.
akpilot,you did great job,its a piece of art!!!!! do you have the finished project pics?or a video?or tell me how it rides.

hi hoser.
you are right,2 stroke is cheaper,smaller,lighter and stronger!
im a hard core 2 stroke fan!
but the pilot top speed is about 90 kph, the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) breakdown alot when you are riding it with crazy atvs and rzr guys ,that rides full throtle all day long for minimum 100km at110kph.with the 2 stroke i couldnt reach them(it was humiliating)and felt sorry fo the Engine.
in a closed course i was the king with the 2 stoke,no doubt about it! i have another 89 pilot and it will stay 2 stroke despite im getting hard time to find parts for its motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )),threre are alot of parts honda doesnt make any more.
and after long ride with the 2 stroke i keep hearing bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for two days(with helmet)!!
i have 2 stroke killer pilot for slow and tight turns course and rzr/atv abuser 4 stroke for the long trips!
i hope you enjoyed the video there will be alot more.

tomorrow i will send the video without the music.
