Surprised it did a little better than expected. Put a lift, a tougher front skid plate/ brush guard and a more aggressive/ larger rear wheel I think you will have something. Side note: get the front tires a little wider or offset to the inside to add natural brake caliper and line protection.

[@vegasboast]

What would I give to have a trike like that. Sadly my Wife and my Mom says Nope... Only because I've survived cancer 2 times. They believe I would get killed on a bike. But hope Is what keeps a man alive! They told me that if I had to have a bike. I could only have a trike. Still with the drugs they have me on ... I can't drive YET. So if I ever got one...

[@mopar_dude9227]

Pretty impressive considering that you did it in only two days or so. I thought about doing something like this myself when I came across a savage title CanAm. My idea was to combine the front end of a 4x4 four wheeler so you could have three wheel drive. More time spent on this and you could work out some of the flaws and make a pretty fun off road vehicle.

[@bw4593]

Omg I actually couldn’t control my self and started laughing out loud all by myself at 19:00😂😂😂😂

[@kdubsironwerks]

The mud runs were the best😂 This makes me wonder if, with front wheel drive or all 3, with tougher suspension and better tires, if this would be a winner.

[@_blood_moon_proto_1500]

This actually proves a point of mine, my point being the simple fact anything can go off-road, it's just that too many are stuck on the ideal of road vehicles for the road, off road for everything else as they forget what makes most road cars great stems from rally, which in laments is taking road cars off-road at speed

[@JMKGarage]

Hahaha, you guys are awesome. I’m much more impressed than what your teaser photo had me thinking. Keep these shenanigans coming guys 👍

Should figure out if you can mount an ATV tire to it. I’d love to see more of this awful beautiful beast

[@keithcross7554]

That's what I was thinking - seems like this thing could be a lot more functional!

[@Anderson_999]

Two sport quad front tires in the front and maybe a front utility quad tire in the rear and that thing would have been WAY more capable. Shame they went through all that effort and basically put suv tires on it.

[@Chezboi30003]

A lot of people have been putting crawler treds on vehicles lately.

[@SLO-Ride]

Suspension would have to be reworked. The ATV tires would be shorter, and the Can-Am already sits pretty low. Designing a long suspension for the front would be basic, but changing the rear geometry to a much steeper angle and longer travel, could put undue strain on, or just break, the driveshaft and transmission.

[@BigBagg69]

[@Zappy1210]

When I was 14 a friend of mine had a Honda XL 100 his dad accidentally ran over with his food service truck totaling it, but the engine was still ok. We found an old dirt bike frame in some woods near us, we think it was a Honda 75? It had no engine and was pretty rusty. We cleaned the frame up, repainted it and with some modifications mounted his XL 100 engine on it. We had 3/4" galvanized pipe and fittings for exhaust, fenders and seat off his totaled XL and whatever bits we could salvage off the totaled XL. He rode that thing for 2-3 years.

[@kcav5374]

I like the idea of this and I personally would like the see possibly a tube chassis made to accept the entire driveline and front suspension of this bike with the ability to fit all the modifications you planned to do. Bigger, taller, more aggressive off road tires, snorkels for intake and exhaust, but you'd have to stretch the wheelbase in the rear for tire AND fender fitment! Not to mention a radiator w/ a fan going the right way.... 😚

[@the_omg3242]

But if they were going to build the frame, they might as well start with the engine and trans from a front wheel drive car and try to rig it to also drive the rear wheel.

I thought about this idea for about thirty seconds, then realized that traction is going to be a problem. Maybe electric motors in front? Electric front drive would be a good addition to a regular off road motorcycle and/or "adventure" bike.

Haha that’s awesome. Probably should’ve tried a smaller diameter rim on the rear with a more aggressive tire. Obviously would’ve had to figure out some adapters to make a different rim work but it would’ve been worth it. A maxxis carnivore or bighorn would’ve done wonders. Haha

And also turned some boys into memories. I had a left bearing go out on a mountain road in Tennessee at full speed (the only speed I knew). It was ugly. When my rolled up I was walking it back up the steep embankment back onto the road. I survived all the flips down the road and then down the embankment and up against a tree, I looked up just in time to see Big Red coming straight at me. I somehow dove from a sitting position out of its way and WHAM! Into the tree it went. Miraculously neither me or Big Red were seriously injured. I had just a little road rash on my arms from the 200’ we flipped on the asphalt before going down the embankment. I have been well looked after through the years.🙏🏻

The old way to fix radiators was to cut out the bad section and then braze it closed. You could used the aluminum brazing rods to seal the bad tubes.

These guys are not very mechanically inclined to do such tasks as brazing, or any real wrenching/fabricating/diag nor inclination of having any sort of calluses on their dainty hands, lmao...

[@PerryPariah]

Yessir the old way works well and is quite a reliable repair. But in a pinch or if reliability is of no concern I have found JB weld applied to pinched tubes + 1 can of course pepper added to coolant usually works quite well as a temporarily permanent solution..

Never JB weld a radiator, instead get some solder and a propane torch and solder the pinholes,cracks etc up unless it's in the plastic tanks in which case a soldering iron and some.plastic zip ties makes a decent enough plastic welder,but practice on a radiator tank that you're not going to be using until you get the welding down pat..
