Me and my dad were talkin it over and wanted to do about everything you could do to a bike such as add-ons, to have something on the side other then work for Father and son time. So what do you guys think? I was thinking Arctic 1000, Outlander 800, Polaris 850. Let me know what you think and why you picked the bike you think.

Yeah I was reading up on those. What exactly does the FCP do? Does it make it that much better as far as power? Would it keep up with the ac 1000 ? It really doesnt matter what bike it is to me I just want the one that will have the most power when fully modded.

I would say the canned ham and get "The John Cannon" and FCP to build and tune it. I am parcal to the brute though.

If you want the most power then you need the FCP motor with a lengthened frame to keep the front down cause Kawi will not make a two seater. And just add NOS on top of that and you got the most power...

I may be wrong when I say this but it seems that the built brutes are makin more power than the built can-ams. I know you can bore a brute out bigger. The biggest kit I've seen for can-am is a 840 but I know Flynt's bike is a 926. T-cat doesn't have a chance when it comes to this.

They do when a lot but look at the ratio of Can Ams to other bikes these days. Can Am is doing good with the market. Polaris is also getting more into the market I just wish Kawi would stick with it.

There are more Can-Ams racing so of course Can-Ams will have more wins. But, there is a reason more people choose to race Can-Am. Can-Am is just good at mud bogs.

Well it all depends on what you want to do....

If you just want to go buy a bike put some tires and snorkles on it and start winning then the can am 800 max seems to be the one.

If you want to build one start with a Kawi, add tires, snorkles, motor work, clutch work, extend or rake and lift. then you will have your own custom bike....

JMHO!!!

Yes its extending the frame. not real sure what it costs, Bocephus660 has his extended 10" and i believe a 4" lift all done by CATVOS

A rake is where the rear a-arms are angled back, most are 4".... CATVOS does both of these, I think u have to get a 10" lift for the rake though. Look at Brutwise's or the Freedom Brute from TBC

Lifted, raked, it does not matter, the can am two seaters are still winning the majority of the races. Even with less HP than the built Brutes, when will yall ever figure out why?

It's the "catapult" effect of the T-arms along with the fact it's the legnth of a school bus. Same reason you see everyone rakeing back the a-arms on the big Brute's and Popo's. On the 2-seaters, you rarely have to use any body english or manipulate the machine at all. There is nothing more that you have to do except floor it and steer. A novice rider can beat any and every experienced rider competing aboard a single seater bike in a deep pit. You can see it at every event. One racer will be on a solid, single seater bike rocking, leaning, shifting, pushing, pulling and feathering the throttle trying to keep the bike on a line and riding the heck out of his machine. Then, you'll see another racer just sitting there on the seat of his two seater with one hand pinning the throttle and the other waving to the crowd or flickin' a booger as he blows by the other guy like he was sitting still.

Man, wish I could afford a two seater!
