Yes thats the honda tranny i have mounted up already. Dont have the bell housing cut off yet but i am gonna get to that. It doesnt have to be mounted like it is on a car. Meaning as heavy cuz it has no force applied to it. And yep..those axles will slide right in cus i cut the front hubs off a donor car and trimmed them down. Then cut the old units out of the swing arms and welded these in its place, So all should be good. The wheels are off a yamaha blaster. They have the same bolt pattern just smaller studs. I decided to drill the holes on the rim a hair bigger because i wanted to keep the beefier studs. I think it will work great. It will just give me a shiftable rear end is all. I can change the gear ratio at the wheels.But the big bono of it is ill have reverse and a differential.

I had to lower the tranny because i didnt like the angle the cvs were at. I want them to have very little angle at ride hight. Im kinda stoked about getting it going and putting it to the test. I want to see if the tranny will hold up cuz if it does it will be a cheap alternative to buying something like an RPM box. Not to knock them or anything as im sure they a great...i just dont have that kinda money.

yeah that wouldnt be good....ive tried to build the frame so that every aspect of a roll over would be as safe as i could make it. I look at roll overs like this. I know how i drive. Therefore i know its gonna happen. Just a matter of when. Im making my buggy as safe going down the road on the roof as it would be on the wheels. or at laest in my opinion. I know my boy will trolly roller over to. Like the silver colored bars on the sides. They ride about 3 inches away from deaed center of the side of the helmet. This way if it rolls the bar will be between the helmet and the ground. At first it prolly wont have nets on the sides...but i plan on getting them that will cover that whole area. Meaning the sopt you crawl into that starts about three inches before the steering wheel and goes all the way back to the silve bar. I figure if all that is net then there is nowhere for our arms from coming out. Im gonna skin the top with sheetmetal so im not worried about there either. What do you guys think? Sure the helmet may bump the bar ever now and then when riding on rough stuff but i think its a price worth paying. And if not ill chop it off and net the whole side.:)
