New Frame Inquiry

[WiLL_FLY]

Hello everyone

Im newbie. I was wondering what frame I should go with. I am looking into my next project for next winter and want to get a head start on figuing what what I will need to do it.

I want to build a Mini Buggy for hear in the Muddy Mid-West. Mostly for woods Dirty Tracks and Open Grassy Feilds. Some climbing and Rolling over fallen Trees.

I am 6'3" 235lbs. I would like something a little longer but still narrow enough to go through the woods.

Other specs I'm looking into is I want to power it with the Hayabusa motor or a Z1000.
I would also like to have it Four wheel drive if possible also Reverse would be nice.
(not for sure if the last two would be possible with using a Busa motor)

So my question is what type of frame would be a good Idea to look into for this?
Plus Who sells good frames for a limited budget. Not low just limited.

Thanks for any help.

Welcome to MBN!

That's a big challenge to build a 4wd busa powered trail rig and try to adapt an already built frame to make it work.

Really sounds like a total custom design. There are several threads here about 4wd projects and only one MC powered here actually constructed that I remember. Do a member search for Rustynuts.

Thanks for the info

Like I also said it may not be thesible with me to be able to do this. But I am open to other opions. lol Maybe have to go with an ATV motor and driveTrain. I just want it to be Fast in the wide open and have lots of power. I am used to riding a Street Bike (Hayabusa) I love speed but I love to play around in the woods and mud.

I'll keep looking around for things I might be able to use.
Thanks again for the Name to Search.

P.S. it may not have to be a total custom frame build. I could modify a frame to fit my application. I'm just not set up to build an entire frame from scrap.

I'm getting pretty close on my SXS. It's got a 90" wheelbase, 70" track width, hayabusa motor and Jeffco reverse diff. The frame from the side panels back is the same as my full size rail (actually built in the same fixture for the cab and tail), so all the panels will work on it, but the nose is 11" shorter and it has rear a-arms to get the track width down.....

Pricing is on the right side of this page...http://www.sinistersandsports.com/pricing.html fully welded starter packages are the same as the SR2 on the left lower hand of the screen.....

Look at Industry Links and/or Google Prosand for a knock down pre bent frame. Could be what you need to get going!

Thanks guys. I will be checking things out. Yosi you have some wicked buggies. I think a fully assembled one is a way out of my $$$ CFO would kill me. Nice looking Buggies though. Keep up the good work. I will defently be checking out your site some more. Like what I see.

Frame kits start off at $6,649, fully welded minus misc stuff like battery tray, radiator tabs, gas tank tabs, etc. Motor mounts, suspension mounts, seat mounts are all there.....
