    ok dumb question. I'm going to be making a custom swinger for my son's racing ATV. I noticed he used pillow ball rods on the swinger where it bolts to the frame. do you experience any side to side motion with it? I was thinking of something sorta similar, but was worried about side to side motion when riding hard in the corners.

    I have not rode mine yet, But I have not heard anyone say they are getting side to side movement out of the rear end. And I tried to get movement out of mine while its on the build table and cant. It does not look like it will be a problem.

    It's almost done

    Just need to put the chain on it and it will be done. I'll probably order a red ASV shorty clutch lever with dust boot for it a little later on.

    Wow that looks amazing, John! Can't wait to hear it now! Lol. And a ride report!!!! Bring the GoPro for the first ride lol

    How does it feel? It looks kinda like a cat with its back arched (all the suspended 70's look like that to me) so I was wondering if it feels top heavy or tipsy?
    too many bikes to count. too little time on hand.

    When the rider is on trike, The back end sits 3 1/2"s lower, And the Front sets 1 1/2"s lower. So it doesn't feel top heavy at all. Ron the guy that makes these frames, And his Buddy Joey entered there R-55 ATC 70's in the Cahuilla Creek MX Park
    1st Annual 3 wheeler national on 3-15-14. They were put in the 200cc class with all the 200X's. They took 1st & 2nd places both races. And they had some of the fastest lap times of the day. There motors are a little smaller then mine.
    So I'm thinking they handle very well.
