New member here and looking for infomation and/or help. Im wanting to build a big red with a 500 foreman engine and maybe swingarm/axle. I have a 86 big red to compare with but still looking for a junk bike. I have checked all over the web for anything like this but nobody has posted this, not counting the 300 motor. If anyone has ideas or thoughts i would love to hear from yall.

So you by want to build this? But reversed. I’m sure the frame is going to take a lot of modifications to make it work.id love to make a big red out of one of those quads. I have a 95 foreman 400 and it’s a tank, but I really wish it turned better!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240111/6e203cdf9b2fd85bf7a5025e602477b1.jpg

Hey Dave, that is awesome. I want to cut the bottom of each and swap, keeping motor mounts, foot pegs and drive shaft output. It will be alot of work as everyone tells, but i have alot of time.
Im not computer great not sure how to add my other bikes.

Seems like it would be easier to put an atc front end on a quad ?

You are correct Dustrunner but if it was easy how would it be special? Im still looking for a junker, as i have many other projects now. If anyone in the Baton Rouge area knows of one please let me know.
