2-seat mini $6500/$5500
« on: June 21, 2011, 08:07:49 AM »
Well the time has come to put her up for sale. This started as a Desertkart Panther but after stretching for two seats and completly redesign the cage and suspension there is really nothing left.  Here's what I've got

1" tubing main buggy  1-1/4" lower frame rails and lower front arms
'94 zx600 engine w/ k & n pod filters
boxed rear trailing arm w/rear spool type 2 cv
front A-arms chromo heims w/brakes
fox air shock 18" front travel  15" rear travel
civic radiator
aluminum fuel tank w/elec pump and pressure regulator
poly seats with covers and 5 pt harness
12 cast alum wheels w/ 26" dirt tires
2- 26" sand blaster paddle on beadlock rear wheels
Has head light/brake lights and glow whip

Buggy weight about 850lbs and the buggy moves real well. New suspension soaks up ruff stuff great.  Had a blast at the LS dunes.  Not done just have another plan.  Also have a small toyhauler I'll be parting with.  Will deliver for a DTS member maybe 300-400 miles.
Any question let me know.  Interested in partial trade on a BIG bike engine zx10 zx14 or busa, and a FNR.

**Edit** will sell for $5500 w/o fox air shocks.  Have the old coilover stuff and will bolt right back on.

YUP,I gotta admit I was amazed.
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

I know he pushed the hell out of me.  Every time I looked in my mirror he was there. 

Well cept the the time I doubled back around and seen the crater he left in the sand with his rack.  Still drove it off the sand.  Nothing wrong with the rail I think he just needs more power for his driving style that's why he's asking for the R1 or Busa.

I must admit, I was a little amazed too.  The shocks made all the difference in the world.  Speaking of shocks I'm gonna edit 1st post.

Rack should be to you end of week,  I'm gonna save it.

If something happens quick I'll make fall trip, I've learned so much from you guys, wont be nearly as much head scratching.
