Quite creative thinking man, I gotta give ya some props. Great job, it looks like it works very well for you.

When did they start making 2x3's anyway?

My dad showed me a youtube video and I just made it fit my needs. about the 2x3's I think they always made them, there suppose to be 2x4's but I had a toolbox and I wanted to keep it on so thats why I used 2x3's. but then had a little mishap. but all good.

dhvaughan- lol, thanks.

Back in December I bought a '91 Indy 650 triple that needed a crank seal replaced. I rebuilt the top end while I was at it and I took it out for the first time tonight. She rips

I'd still rather have your sled though...

Very nice. I have the build your own ramp things and made them up the other night to run my quad into the truck. It got so far up and decided to start spining tires. The first attempt it slid off the one and straddled the other one center of the quad. I stood there and laughed at it cause I could have been hurt. Tried it about 4 times then gave up. I need to put runners up it so the tires don't spin or something.

how long till it's broken in? 300mile? Triples with a set of pipes or a aftermarket silencer sound sweet.

my dad's buddy has a dragon(I think) its a four stroke turbo, I'm dying for him to break it in so I can race it.

Just dont make it so steep and they wont spin, make the ramps longer so it's not so hard to climb, and if you're worried about the length make a reverse break in them so you can fold them up when your dont. wouldnt be that hard at all

runners and maybe sides( and a little longer like said above). I know when I drive up you have to keep it at a steady speed not to fast not to slow(it maybe different with a quad).

quad's move side to side when climbing ramps. the easiest way to get into a bed is either find a ditch some where and back into the ditch then let the quad climb your tailgate, or get longer ramps. or get the medal ones with angle iron my fav! but they'er heavy as hell and will tear off tread from some of the beefier tires.
