Kiko Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I am not a fb follower but nowadays it seems if you want to buy an atv or a moto then facebook marketplace is the ticket. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted July 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 If I can't find a quad,maybe I'll build this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 You would end up as a quad if you tried to drive that - a quadrapalegic! All the ones I have seen use a VW engine and rear end. 1600 cc. Looks like something I tried to build when I was 13. With a BSA Bantam 2 stroke engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stream Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 As a young teenager a friend built a minibike with a 2 cycle chainsaw engine with its centrifugal clutch. Clutch wasn't good enough to grab and take off from a stand still so he ran with it and took off like a bat out of yah. He didn't install brakes Shoes took a beating. Be sure to practice screaming so you can tell everyone what's wrong with the build while screaming by It's funny looking back thinking of him screaming and laughing about brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 This is similar to what I have in mind. Springer forks and my entrance is only 53 inches wide so a ripped apart quad made into this would be perfect. I just need engine gearbox,rear assembly and build a moto trike frame around them. I bought a Sportster was a big mistake as it would have cost me about $15000 on top of the $4000 for it to make the conversion. As a disabled person it's the only way I can ride again and a quad has reverse too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I've been looking for a quad that is legal for 2 years. My time on this planet is running out. I don't care if it's been in an accident because we only need the motor,gearbox and rear end assembly of an automatic to build me a trike. Maybe somebody moving back NOB will sell? I am prepared to spend up to $45,000mp and will buy 250-500cc . Every time mi mecanic Moy thinks he's found one, the alleged owner can't supply the proper papers for transfer.

I have left no stone unturned for the 2 + years I've been looking. Parts bikes not in operation won't do as we need to test the running gear, and most of the parters have no papers It's going to cost enough to buy and build without being surprised with running gear mess.

Ezzie Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Why build? Just buy a used CanAm Spyder. They are great for disabled folks. Also would be resellable much easier once you no longer can use it. I have a friend who is paralyzed from the waste down and bought one of the very first ones off the production line. He modified it for hand controls and has motored all around the Great Lakes with it. The CanAm brass was so impressed with his story they invited him to HQ in Quebec for a press day a few years back.

I want to build a moto front wheel trike which is the closest thing to a bike and as far as I am concerned a CanAm ain't no moto and it wouldn't fit in mi casa, in any event.

Mainecoons Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Have you looked at moving to a lower elevation? I recall RVGringo sharing that was a big reason they moved, that along with better access to health care from the VA. Good luck to you in any case.

I know it was only 5 days but I wasn't any better at the coast in Jan. I'm Canadian so the VA means nothing to me. My health care access here is outstanding. I will croak right here with my boots on. Right now the heat is affecting my breathing but I'm still not on oxygen. If I carry 4 cervezas from my shop to the fridge [only 20 ft.] I have to sit down and gasp for air like I just did an end to end rush in hockey.
