Hello, I just joined as I am working through converting an 83 ATC 200E into a hardtail motorcycle. I have 2 ATC 200E's that I bought for cheap and I am going to try and keep the one that is the most complete together while converting the other.
This is what I am starting with:
And this is my conversion inspiration:
This is where I am at so far:
I have two questions to begin:
1. Are there any detailed instructions/pictures on converting a front hub into a rear with a sprocket?
2. Has anyone used the rear axle as a jackshaft so they could maintain use of the rear brake? I see issues with where the chain from the gearbox would meet the axle hub but if that has been modified easily before, it could really simplify the jackshaft and brake assembly. Plus I like reusing parts where I can. Let me know!
I'll keep posting questions and pictures as I move along with the build. I am calling it Monstercycle for now but am definitely open to better names.
Happy to be here!
