Been away for a while. Have been driving my buggy till I broke suspension. I have not modified suspension yet, but now that I broke it, time to work on it and UPGRADE IT. I have decided CN250 engine is not big enough either. I have purchased a 08 Honda trx700xx engine that I am going to put on it. 700xx does have reverse and I think that reverse is necessary.
Upgrades for my Roketa GK44 also know as Coolster 6250, as follows:
1. Bottom and top Honda 450r a-arms, brakes, calipers, rotors, and hubs; this also means new rims for front;
2. Elka shocks - off of a 450r Honda triple rate for front, 16 3/4";
3. Fox shocks for rear off a a Polaris, 18 1/2";
4. cable foot clutch - this means moving brake over to make room for foot clutch;
5. removing cn250 engine and transmission - probably be for sale once removed;
6. cutting off swing arm where cn250 engine was mounted, but keeping rear axle;
7. welding, welding and welding. Strengthen frame, extending rear of fixed frame to accept Honda 700xx engine;
8. attaching swing arm (duel mount) for rear axle so that Fox shocks can be attached;
9. modification of steering column;
Once I do these modification, I will have the frame sand blasted and powder coated, and then the build, with wiring.
I will probably start tearing the GK-44 down this week. I will post plenty of pictures, to include mistakes.
Hope it works as good as it sound. I will let you know.
