it on page 2 of the pictures

i think i got the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) figured out but were am i going to get a sproket for the trans i know im not going to be able to complete this in a weekend so im trying to get all the info before i get the ody ready for surgery.

ps i will ahve a ody motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) for sale soon how much are these motors worth thanks.

Have a machine shop make a sprocket hub to fit the oddy's trans shaft. Try to run a small sprocket on the trans the closer to 1:1 the better as the oddy box is 9:1. Also I would not lengthen the frame like in the pics. that is a very structural area that involves your safety. I would lengthen it behind the drivers area roll bar.

this is were i plan to strech it from im also going to add some extra bracing.

i plan to weld a smaller piece of tubing through the bigger peice of tubbing im not to familiar with tubbing so what kind of tubing should i buy and where do i buy it from thanks


john

These people are nice to deal with havent checked their prices in a while http://www.chassisshop.com/

The oddysey in the pics was lengthened at the points in yellow. If you lengthen it at the points you selected your front down tube will not bolt up. Plus how would you shift into reverse. I would lengthen it at the points colored in aqua. Your suggested points compromise your safety. The roll cage/drivers compartment was engineered by Honda to provide a safe vehicle. You are doubling the horsepower of the vehicle I think you would wanna keep it safe. I am not sure the rear downtubes will line up either at the recommended aqua points but I do feel it would be far safer and the additional work involved would be worth your safety.

Why change the frame at all?

If you must and need more room why not just move the trans and Engine mount area back leave the rest alone?

heres some pics of where it was streched

more

it didnt let me add more the pics are on my page they are

or can someone post them for me thanks

In my opinion that machine is a good example of what not to do.

why is that

because you are messing with an engineered safety component aka the drivers compartment.

I am going to throw my 2 cents in too. Like they said, If you mess with the roll cage(ie: lengthing it), you may be endangering you self. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it happen for you, just be sure you understand what you are doing and maybe get some info from a local racecar builders shop on cage integrity. If you do that, please post what you find out from them.

350s can make great power using the original style Engine with lots of mods, they are actually faster than modified Pilots if setup right(oops, now I stirred up the bee hive). The 350s main downfall is its suspension, suck-ass at best on rough terrain. I have a bad feeling about it if you get that kind of power in yours, unless you are just making a drag strip runner out of it.???????

Keep us posted

im not really in to 2 stroke motors since i got stranded in my cr125 6 miles from camp and once i walked it back to camp and it started when i got there since then i only do 4 stroke .

and i like being able to ride for 2-3hours without overheating and not mixing gas

my uncle is a certified mig tig welder and he has done some cages in his day so im going to get him to help me.


question

when is the best time to buy my odyssey so i can get the best deal thanks again for the help


john

i think im not going to use the cbr motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) beacuse its just to much trouble to mess with the four carbs and too much wiring i think im going to do a single cylinder motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) conversion what motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) do you guy suggest i use for the ody.


i want it to be atleast 800cc and affordable i want to be able to wheelie the ody.


john

Most ATV-ish things are cheapest late fall/early winter, so that is when you want to buy.

The new 700 Raptor Engine is about the biggest single piston Engine that comes to mind. The KFX700 is a belt drive Engine and might make hooking it up to the tranny easier.

I would suggest an EFI system, if you go with a cycle Engine.

im actually looking for a motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) i can pick up at a cycle junkyard i seriously doubt there will be any new raptor 700's at the salvage yard esspecially for cheap.

i think the cheapest way to do it is to get a motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) cycle mechanic to help me with the wiring on the cbr 4 cyl beacuse i heard they are pretty reliable and have close to 100hp and 80ftlbs of tourque.

100hp and 80ftlbs of tourque would be way more power than you will ever need in a 350

I stuffed a kz 750 Engine in my 350 frame without lenghtening it. I did remake the bottom section of frame (where the original Engine and trans mounted as my donor frame was severly damaged in that area) These frames bend easily enough with the speeds attained with a stock Engine, I sure wouldn't want to reduce the integrity of the cage. The greatest welder in the world is no good if the geometry of the cage is off because it was lengthened. I also upgreaded all the suspension and brakes. The power is nothing without being able to control it.

do you think i can get some pics of how you did it or pics of your ody im trying to get the most information possible before i start my project thanks.

im not just streching the frame for the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) me being 6'3 280lbs i would like to fit better in it also.



john

on the suspension side i plan to do upgraded shocks wider wheels and 2 inch spacers on each wheels front and back.

keep them coming

i want to make sure im making the right decison cutting the ody in half also what the cheapest route i can go suspension wise beacuse thanks again to all who replied


john
