    Old school conversion?

    Old school conversion or a home made death trap? I was at the scrap yard looking to score some cheap parts or a new project. I asked if he had any atv's, he said yea but they are picked pretty clean and only a couple. Well there was about 10 and 80% of them were early Yamaha Moto-4's (Which i will be back for parts for my 225's). Anywho he says he has this motorcycle someone made into one and he said come take a look and let me in for free as it was only a quick look around.

    I didnt have much time to go in depth and look it over and cameras were not allowed but i managed.








    I also want this.

    It needs a little more investigation for sure. Rear swing arm looks kind of home made, but I've seen way worse that people were pretty proud of.

    First one looks like maybe an XS400? Other then being too narrow, it looks well built to me.

    The "champ" looks like a turd.
