I'll try to get some photos for you although I'm not impressed with the workmanship that has been done on it. I will most likely be redoing most of it. It also needs the clutch to be relocated. They just put the hand clutch from the motorcycle on the side frame. Soooo when you are shifting, you have both hands off the wheel! Not good. Thats part of the dangerous I was talking about. Also, with that much power, it just gets sideways if you punch it and apparently rolls pretty easy. The person that looked at it before me (potential buyer) did just that. So when I arrived, the roll cage was all bent to one side. Im not sure if I'm going to fix that or just look for a better buggy to put the engine in. It's too much power for that buggy in my opinion.
Here is a video of it:
