Because I try to help you out. You put about a six and a half foot tall stack on that thing and both tires on the same side as the stack can just be run with a little more air than the ones on the opposite side. By the way. Sometimes my ideas are not very good ... that might be one of them. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, you're right. durablue's are allmost wide Quadbike Rear Axles but they're without diff. Got also one in my Quadbike in the past, while driven several shorttrack races, but now quadbike is sold.😢 But my Supermoto still stay's - no option to sale😇 My "new" toy therefore is the Wheelhorse... Wich would be piece by piece improoved.😎 If you also plan to drive short track races with the horse, the durablue will be sure a fine solution, otherwise i doubt of a senseful use...😂 For extending the steering wheel, i would set a thicker (3mm) pipe wich fits the inside diameter of steering shaft, cutting steering shaft in half and extend it by the pipe. so you can easy find the best height. If all is fixed, weld it together and you're done. If you like to reinforce the stability, i would use a flanged ballbearing reverse mounted below the pipe, to improve the stability of the whole steering shaft itself, because of the extended length and a even smoother steering. 👍 let's Rock 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #131 Posted October 25, 2018 Just a bit more in diameter i meant like my photos attached this was a 3/4" pipe by an 20mm shaft just for example 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,837 #136 Posted October 26, 2018 Well thanks to @PeacemakerJack for confirming my thoughts, the seat looks pretty “at home” with the spring reversed. The hydro transmissions have a four bolt pattern unlike the gear jammers, so the tool box/fender support will need to incorporate an adapter of some type. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #140 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) When i look at the Photos it looks damn cool with big wheels. The only issue what irritates me , was the single light just on right side..... otherwise this looks also cool somehow... each more i looked the Pic, each more i got a name putt putt beside No.7 You know the Movie No.9 by shane acker, i must think to, if i see your "No.7" Edited October 27, 2018 by Tractorhead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t tell you how many truck engines, transmissions or other major components I’ve replaced or repaired in my gravel driveway at the old place, because the garage couldn’t fit the truck 4 hours ago, AMC RULES said: I dig the single head light offsetting that big ol' stack... gives it character. I am not sure what to think about the light, it’s not a concern currently because it’s not in my way yet. I was looking at the picture with the 3” stack though thinking that it doesn’t look terrible right now. I tried to pull it off a while back, but the square in the light body is rounded out and it’s not priority. Maybe I should give it power and see if it works! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly what I was thinking.... One of the future builds I have in mind is a 12 horse, 8 speed, B/C square hooded rig with mid sixties round fenders and spring mounted seat. That would be good candidate for a high wheeler. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
