8/8/2026 7:45am Haha yea im absolutely planning that as well, only thing it that I dont want to strip to the frame yet as im still riding this season so I thought I would do triple clamps and engine mounts as its quick first, then frame in winter. Hopefully I can get a good price, also thabks for the color code.

8/7/2026 6:06pm Thanks for the intel, I would honestly prefer more turns, however this makes more sense from a broad perspective with the land and such. I have a lot of top soil which has a high clay content from the field I can scrape and make jumps so no issues with dirt. Can also get in 20ft by 8ft by 5...

8/7/2026 10:09am I do love the look of cerakote, but cannot find anyone local that does it. And i cannot justify $450+ CAD for a setup that i would only use a few times. But damn it does look fire

IMO black swingarms never look good. Yours looks awesome the way it is!

8/7/2026 5:48am Theres been a change if plans, what if I just went with a layout like this around the house. There are a few benefits, it uses lead if the field on the sides and just makes the house area larger, makes it easy on the farmer, can get longer lanes like this (4 400 foot lane and 2 300 foot...

8/6/2026 12:34pm After fully brightening up the motor with a lot of elbow grease and scotchbrite pads, had it back together. In the start of the spring I decided to get the graphics kit I wanted, and plastics to get it looking nice. Also got a clutch cover.

8/1/2026 6:23pm Sounds good. The hardest part fkr me is spacing the jumps, I dont want to have to absolutely keep it wide open to clear stuff, and I dont want to have to coast excessively to no over jump. Not sure how to figure that out.

8/1/2026 3:11pm So here is a rough idea of a layout, im working with a bit less land than before, about 380 ft by 200ft is the rectangle, I can probably stretch it to 400, just then it becomes harder for the farmer to plant the field as it extends past the end of my property. The big blue rectangles are tables...

This site has some great high res aerial images available . Even if they do not show the town your in. Find one close to yours and it will often still have the images. Just without property lines. I'm not sure if it has anything for canada. But I found it by searching for aerial images of the town and state where I live. I'm attaching an image of Southwick to show You the level of detail the images have VS Satellite stuff. Its better when available. Cities and towns are using these site for property tax assessment.

Turn tracks are excellent. They build a nice turn track at ClubMX. Seems to change a lot, but they include a few small jumps. Probably see them on their videos. 400x220 is bigger than a football field, maybe close to the area used by SX tracks in football stadiums? Look at the track maps for layout ideas, then add jumps or whatever to meet your skills.
