I already knew it was not going to work there even if it did...
now now guys, let's keep this friendly!! I appreciate all the feedback. I'm gonna get all the swingarm fab done, then tackle the exhaust issue. Gives me some time to develop a plan....... I'm honestly mulling over some custom shapped cans that might make the under the fender option a reality. Yes, I'll need to consider the heat factor and make sure I don't melt anything. Gonna go take an internet class on muffler design...LOL.... aka: search the internet for info!!!

problem with moving it out, as soon as you drop the bike to that side, its going to smash inward, creating a clearance issue out in the middle of a dune.
for someone with your fab skills I'm sure the exhaust wont be to much of a problem
You might checkinto the stock silencers off of the LTR450R Suzuki quads...they are sort of an oval shape, they are flat and wide and fit under the seat/subframe center mount. Dunno if it'll help you out any, but check it out. One of those would look SWEEEEEEEEEEET on that bike when it was done if it would work.
Go dual so you can use smaller silencers and use the extra room to spread them apart so your tire will clear...
This is a CRF250F but the left side panel is a from an exhaust kit. This one is made to accommodate the extra exhaust, I'm sure you could get one of those side-panels and make it bolt up, it would give you some extra room to play with...
[QUOTE=Mr Bracket;748185]What do you get when you combine a Honda CRF450R, Yamaha Rhino wheels, and a lot of fabrication???

looks great. take some pics when you go riding
A Rental Car is the only true all-terrain vehicle.
" I actually think it is good that you have clubs where people can go and enjoy riding these things together. It reminds me of how the prisoners on death row have fun waiting for their turn on the electric chair. Fair enough, the trike isn't an electric chair, but it is about as safe and comfortable as one."

Try getting a radiator that mounts in the center of the bike, under the steering neck.
there's always a solution
other than the rads, the rest of the bike is sex in my mouth![]()
It looks great.. I second the pics of it running. A question about the radiators.. Could you have moved them down the front frame rail to clear the forks? Or was the bottom triple contacting them as well. Not to second guess you because it looks aweome.
