Traci's new ride?
|
I've thought about doing something similar with the Honda 450 eventually...
|
'My epiglottis is full of bees!"
That guy has way too much fun.
|
|
"So, someone that you don't like very much will end up with your eyes"
Too funny!
Yup, I could have an awful lot of fun with something like that!
|
|
I've come to the decision that I'm gonna build something like that
too...hell, it'll probably be easier than trying to hunt down all the
parts I need to restore the Suzi GT550...I probably have most of what I
need lying in the pile of dirt bike corpses behind the back shed.
|
I'm going to check and see what I'd have to do to make something street
legal. Think about a single seat version of this with a motorcycle engine...
|
Might be simpler to build it as a trike and just titled it as a motorcycle.
No collision standards to meet, no need for windshield wipers, seat belts,
and that sort of thing.
|
I talked to a buddy about it, we think I might be able to get away with a
"re-body" title for the Honda. Next option would be kit car. I'll talk to
the tag office about it before starting anything. This is way off in the
future though, probably 1-2 years at least.

well....to be honest, what I'd ~really~ like to do is fit that 550
engine into a 4-wheeler... I had thought of acquiring another Polaris
4x4 like the one I already have, do a little cut an' weld, run the
drive thru the wheeler tranny to retain the reverse, lo-range, and 4WD.
(lets face it, if I have to do any frame stretching, that chain drive
will be easier to stretch than a shaft drive) but howinhell I'm gonna
run the exhaust for that beast....well, I aint planned that far ahead
yet, but if and when I get it put together it'll be a screamer
