Hello all:
I have recently been approved to post here and may get thrown out on my first post.
I'm a 56 y.o. frustrated engineer. It seems I'm always wanting to build something that people can't get their mind around.
I attend chili cook offs in the south (Texas) regularly and some flea markets. I have 6 grandkids soooo I decided why not find a decent 3 wheeler and scavenge the engine tranny and rear end, weld up to a dirt bike frame (light weight) and build bench seats on the back to haul everyone around on!!! I know this sounds crazy, but I have bought a 1985 honda atc250es and a late 70's yamaha 125 enduro bike to bring this monstrosity to life.
It will have air ride suspension (because the weight will vary greatly). If this project works out like I think it will, I would like to make it street legal. In Texas it's illegal to register atv's, so I would like to replace the balloon tires and wheels with a taller street like tire and wheel. I've seen some trailer wheels at Northern Tool that might work, but hopefully you guys could save me some legwork on this. I'm sorry to be so long winded, but I felt these ideas would need some explanation.
Good to be here. I have already learned a lot just reading some of your threads.
Thanks
The Boltman
