rotax 399 in a hard tail

[Thorpe]

Oooh What about a hide-a-bed??? Or even a futon???

[Bretmd94]

A bedframe?! I guess steel is steel. Lets see it!

[bcredneck]

i need to get my grinder back today so i can start cutting steel on the sled there were only 2 bolts holding the jacksfaft on on the trike im going to bolt everything together then weld so if a weld brakes i still have a bolt holding i plan on useing square tubing to hold the motor in cause that would be a bad place to cheap out i already put my freinds 07 klx 250 motor in this frame
there was only 2 inches of ground clearance it was killer on ice until it broke that motors going in a go kart now

man i thought we came on here for ideas and be cool with each i think some of you guys should try and help the guy and maybe even give some ideas so it will be safer .i dont know i just got that vibe and man if you want it go do it .just be safe

[fabiodriven]

The bed frame will work fine.

[bcredneck]

insead of useing square tubeing im going to make the frame with the bedframe and after im going to weld round tubes into the inside corner of the bed frame pieces i think this will be alot sronger that way

Box in a piece of tubular.

dug some parts out of the shed the tank was from my home made yz 125 got a free motor and start colleting random parts till i had a bike it was funny as h*!! i rode it for a year and it looked like it wouldnt go 10 feet

[bcredneck]

im useing a 18 rear dirtbike tire with no sprocket for the front

[Macs]

You are going to put a dirtbike front wheel? I wouldnt go that route, it will handle worse than it already does. Also love the decals on the tank, Nice! I am really surprised you havnt lost interest on this yet or got side tracked. You are really working very quickly. Now get it done, we are waiting on the maiden voyage vid!

[bcredneck]

its a dirt bike rear wheel i used it on my 350 while i was getting my tire fixed it realy helps in the snow cause it dont slide
triples for trikes are hard to come buy are else id be useing a normal one hopefuly i can get my grinder today and start the real work ive got the motor running already the cluch is about to fly apart again i can get more so thats not a problem this is my 3rd
and dose any one know if 2190 is high mileage for a ski doo

Are you going to make some kind of guard for around the clutch? Wouldn't want it to take out your leg if it blows apart. But I like the idea, take a bunch of junk that's lying around and make a trike. Enough people take trikes and turn them into junk. Better to see someone turning old junk into a trike.

Ever see a snowmobile belt shred at speed? Tore the whole side of a hood off once.....

As for bed steel.. I'm not sure it was at the same level of strength that fabrication steel is - but I could be wrong.

And for the Rotax... how much does that and the whole clutch system weigh alone? just curious how much it will be impacting the gross weight of the ... what's the word I'm looking for here... Frankenstein?

Good luck. Really really can't wait to see a finished product
