I have a BIG problem with SHR...

[970SnowSlayer]

So, I sent this guy up in Minnesota my damaged (stock ring locator pin broke) cylinders, head, and carbs. He sends me the stuff back , bored out with beautiful port work, bored carbs, vf3's, pistons, rkt head, gaskets, jetting, and a set up sheet.

..this is where it gets good..
I put it all together per Johns instructions, clutched it per Johns reccomendation, and now, I have a SEVERE case of permagrin, and my arms are so worked from hanging on to this sled this weekend that I could hardly perform my tasks at work yesterday, im now afraid i may have this problem every time i take this sled out........ just WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS??!!!

Big thanks goes out to John and his crew, this 860 absolutly rips, snappy, pulls your arms out, nails 8200 everytime on the hill in the fluff, starts better than ever, and is simply the most fun engine that ive had the pleasure of hitting the flipper on. This engine moves some serious fuel and air! kept getting asked whos turbo kit I was running by some fellow riders lol! modded stock y pipe and stock pipe/can. its a boondockers dream, instant rpms, instant track speed.

Followed his reccomendations and it runs perfectly, jetting and clutching, I couldnt be happier. Getting looser with each tank, just gets better and better. To those considering a BB, give SHR a call, his work delivers, period.


thanks again John

I have on of his 880's and I have to agree. I have around 300 miles on now and it is running perfect. He is always ready to anwer questions eventhought he is very busy.

SHR880 costing me a fortune

This is my first post on the forums. Big Johns 880 has so much torque I am having to upgrade my rear suspesion to a K-mod 156 just to keep the sled from fliping over back wards whe I pin it off on the lake. The new 156 x 3 inch track is going to cost me another Grand. Darn you Big John!!

They are awesome engines but come on. This is unrealistic. Flipping over backward on a flat?

Old man's 880 flips over backward going downhill even w/ aftermarket rear skid. haha.

Chasing some clutch issues on 880 right now, but still extremely happy. Leaving a lot on the table and still works good. Self inflicted destruction of 860 and John really came through making the transition to 880.

Sorry, going for sarcasim. Guess you didnt get it.

The big bore debate seems to be a intense, one needs to be honest when discussing them or things get out of control. Do you really need a coupled skid in order to put the power down or just want one?

I too have have to comment on the service that i received from SHR. Have ran the RKT 860 the 880 BMP and now the SHR 880 .
Porting has been done very well. I have only put a 30 miles on it so far .
Have to say that it pulls hard on the bottom but can't speak to loud until i get a few miles on it as haven't had a chance to get into the hills yet. (Dam work.)
In the next month we will see how it pulls.

ed, no one was debating anything until you came into the thread. the intent if the thread is to give thanks and credit to shr for building an awesome engine package. if you want to debate skids or bb's then go start your own thread or post up in the 872 thread, but dont derail mine. thanks.

Didnt mean to make light of an intense subject. Do I need a coupled skid? No. Did I need a BB? No. Its All part of the bigger is better concept, or maybe Iam just Trying to compensate. A BB ( any BB of your own flavor ) at sea level here in Alaska gets you full potential and 146 with 9 inch wheels and CE 2.5 gets a lot of Hook up that likes to wheelie. Just my opinon

, actually I'm installing wheelie bars for the weekend, last ride out during a steep climb I hit a tree so hard it broke the ski and split the tree vertically, could not keep the front end down and I did not see the tree until it was too late. I'm still waiting for my warranty ski from BJ...lol.True story.

 

[970SnowSlayer]

and I have a 146, you can imagine the wheelie problem I have. worst problem EVER. that big john sure is an a-hole for causing peeps problems like that

I wish camoplast made a CE 146 3", then I could shave more weight by getting rid of the skis, , spindles, and hell, why not the whole front suspension? who needs it when it never touches the ground ...where do you get some of them there wheelie bars yous talkin bout?
