Ultimate goal is revloc or rekluse and some modern forks. Then some front and rear racks to pack some goodies and go on some adventures!
Flame away :wink:

Whats to flame, I think its pretty cool.

The drum rear brake is about the only thing I would do different.

The rekluse might not be such a good idea. With that much to haul around, and if your in the wrong gear, that thing is going to eat itself...

Its not a "torque conveter" like a automatic tranny has.

Cool build...

What's the intent? Why go fat?

Cool modification. I'm just curious as to the motivation for it.

Its in my intro, but, I had converted it to a 3 wheeler years ago for some drag action and a few dune rides. Got tired of racing 30,000 $ banshees and sno-mo quads. So I converted back. I sold off all my oem 500 parts after the 3 wheel conv. to recoup some costs. So what was left was to fab a swingarm. Now its going to be a 60hp pack mule. Going to chop a gen 2 125 and get an af together, may or not get the fatty.

Judging by his fab skills, i doubt that will be the final radiator location.

as for the fat tires, think of the traction you would get with one of those quad paddles on there. i agree, in dirt it wouldnt be much fun, but it is a perfect dune bike.

In the dirt is a blast. Think of all the traction you get EVERYWHERE.

apparently the wider tripples would smash the rads in the stock locations.
