    ATC250R 2 wheel conversion

    Ran across these photos. I think it was called a Missile kit--or something like that. Sort of like a bad azzz Big Wheel or Fat Cat. Anyone know anything about these conversions?

    I like having three wheels on my ATC just fine but I bet one of these would be a hoot in the dunes....

    I looked at a swingarm & rear hub set-up on Ebay a couple years back, I shoulda bought It. That thing would be so sweet at the dunes, I want one bad.

    What do they ride like? I've heard different stories. Some say fine, others say they handle like total crap, they won't go in a straight line.

    I saw a pair of Yamaha Big Wheels at China Wall (ISDRA) several weeks ago. One was a 200. The other was a 350 but didn't sound like a normal Big Wheel. Closer inspection revealed a YZ426 engine mounted up. He had some oversized paddle on it similar to the above 250r. She was a runner!

    are you kidding? they handle awesome...me and my friend busted his fatcat out after 10 years of sitting, i cleaned the carb and changed the oil cleaned the tank and we beat it around, it is MINT for real, looks brand new. you can lay them down so far in burms it is unreal almost horizontal.those stock tires have some nice lugs along the sidewall....i would love to see one pumped up with some nasty old school x parts on the motor...
