I got it with the 440 in it. Sounds awesome! Just gave her some paint, new windshield, proper plugs. Runs great!

That's great. 300s aren't supposed to sound like that! What exhaust did you use?

I got it like that. Not sure about the muffler. It dont fit in there proper thats for sure. It comes out beside the recoil, so you gotta watch youre boot dont get burned LOL. Thats gonna change in the future. We're going for a run today. I'll get some pics of the motor today. I got some clutch questions and proper muffler ideas. No lights either they just put the motor in and got it running. My guess is i need a voltage reg for the lights?

So here's some pics of the exhuast and clutches and motor. Suggestions on what to do for a new exhuast pipe would be greatly appreciated. Would a stock 300 muffler fit with the bigger motor? Got a few inches of snow finally got to take it for a good run. Ran great!!Would be nice to have the proper tank too.

Great day for a ride in Niagara area! Here's some pics of todays rip. We didn't need that rain last night. No break downs although it was a bit warm for the fan sleds.
