Definitely front disc brake upgrade.
I will be lowering the swingarm mount 3-4" (was not necessary with the lift but I want to avoid any oil pickup problems). I will also be moving the swingarm back about 3" not only due to tire clearance issues with the front wheel well (26" tires) but also to provide a bit more stability on acceleration (wheelies are cool but also limit performance). I'm in Seattle for a conference now but when I get back in town will tackle this project some more. Colby Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |

I got my cradle back today so this project can finally move forward! The motor looks great and is mounted at the proper 30 degree angle. I have the suspension tacked to the frame and if I get a garage pass tonight I should have everything in place. More photos to come!

Re: Polaris 800 EFI engine in a Yamaha G16
Are you going to spend some time on it over the holidays?

Re: Polaris 800 EFI engine in a Yamaha G16
The front mount in the second picture is interesting how it the metal rises up and then down instead of just straight to the motor.
I am away from home for the majority of the holidays so I will not getting much work done myself. |

That was done so the mount arms would be vertical. Got a lot done last night, pics to come!

What did you send the cradle out to have done? Engine mounted?
