I don't remember what spindle you got, But you have fallen into the ATV spindle trap...I been there and done that the pix are on the 600 woods buggy threadBest bet if you don't have the rack welded in is to flip them over...whack off the steering arm and re-weld it in the front now they will be upside down and on the wrong side...this will straighten out your KPI. and put you in front steer...AND YOU CAN ADD SOME ACKERMAN TOO ;D

We have a winner!!

Had them set up correctly before, but somewhere along the way they swaped sides.  Should just flip L-R and R-L and readjust the camber.   5:

Got the chain to 1 time when I really dropped the clutch, I think the front motor mounts are twisting letting the motor bow back and create some slack.  Really hard to drive and watch the rear chain at same time.  Coming up with a second mount to triangleate the front mount. 

Gonna have to rebuild the carbs next too, 2 of them kepping leaking fuel out the overflow.  Only paid $10, so I cant complain to much.

Looking good. The buggy is really coming along.  It wont be long now and all those late nights and weekend in the shop will pay off.  There is nothing like riding around in something that you built youself. Just a few questions though.  What size sprockets are you running?  On my engine the stock sprockets were 14front and 44 rear.  I fabricated everything to fit those sprockets...carrier mounts, rear frame assembly, engine mounts, etc...Then the first time I actually drove it with that gear ratio, I never got out of 1st gear. I was doing like 60mph.  At take off I could hardly climb the driveway hill. I had to change to a 12front and 60 rear.  Then had to change all my mounts, chain adjustments, and carrier location and re-weld.  That might be something to check before you get to far along

The front sprocket is the smallest I could find I think its 12 or 13.  I think the rear is 52 maybe 54.  Worked all weekend building scaffolding in a power plant boiler so my brain is still tired.  Might try to finish the front end redo tonight if all goes well and I have enough beer.  The "enough beer" could be the reason why the damn spindles are on the wrong side? gg:

The front end is now done, hopefully correct.  The shocks have a much better ratio and are almost 90 at full compression. ;D  New lower a-arm, rebent upper, cut off the bar that the upper shock mount attached to with the X brace between.

Looking for input for more bracing?
Will try to paint my thoughts (scary) and post up latter.

Would like to X brace the back and roof, or maybe a upside down V on back and another V on roof to the front pillar.

Finally got a chance to paint, see if anyone is up from eating turkey.

I like the V on the back and roof, is one stronger than other??

Looking good! I live the V myself, I really believe some on here are trying to build tanks not buggies, I think the tubing is a lot stronger than they think it is....

Just wait till you start bending stuff up. Or what happens when you go on the lid. I would rather not test the strength of my tubing that way.
