Couple of updates..... my son and I were riding the buggy thru the yard when the neighbors son (6 year old) decided to chase us on his 80cc quad. I saw his mom wave, so I stopped to double check all was well, and wam......
Got rear ended. He just didn't see us stopped, and it was a low speed collision. Chipped the aluminum from the engine casing, and bent up the chain guard, that's all. I'd like to make some kind of rear bumper, but I'm concerned with how the engine comes out of the swingarm..... does it just slide straight back for removal, or does it drop down after the axle is removed?
