Hmmmm haven't decided between a 350x and a 400ex motor.... :rolleyes:

I was thinking of some kinda of ghetto stuff....maybe use the rear shock off an old 1972 XL100 for the rear and grenading a "Shee" for the front A-arms w/ warrior shocks...that way "I" can call it a "Hondamaha" :rolleyes:

The '72 XL100 rear shocks were very prone to failure and won't hold up very well to all that weight. If I were you I would definatly look into finding one off an '82-85 XL250. Would fit your apllication perfectly IMO. I also think that J-arms off a '87 Shee would be much better for your project rather than those crappy A's. However, the Warrior front shocks would probably be perfect...


its fun to BS sometimes :D

I think that never ending story is better when we start chucking members names into the fantasy....maybe lighten it up a bit?....or is it better when everyones at each others throat, then, freshen it up...?


the secret project will now be revealed,

the first project was only a secret to the secret's secret....

but their was a hint....in the first pic :D

I basically punted on the first secret project because, yes, it was impossible. I know I had many fooled here :rolleyes:

the second and real secret project was the 2 seater Runt bike, the mods came from grenading a $130. 00 kittscooter, which was thrashed pummeled and left out in the rain...

as you know the Runt bycycles have a top speed of a snail and probe for a rear seat, well, the scooter turned a "2 seater" into a boardwalk beach crusier...which is where there is?.....

SAND!!...ah yes, dune twisting on my 3wheeler in the winter and beaching it in the summer....seems I got sand everywhere and were always in it...

anyway, this made for the perfect "Flunky Project"....basically R&R...of course I mastered the tolerences btwn +/- .0010"...as any flunk could do on such a simple project...

i took those original runt wheels, (which are..........JUNK!) and let my kids smash them with a sledge hammer..(of course with eye protection..... you nerd.)

My conclusions,
The interchange of parts makes me only confirm my suspicions, EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS CHINESE PRISON LABOR!.....

Do they make fricken everything?...I mean c'mon
