I got it from unclaimed freight in Milaca, Minnesota. Great store
I would narrow it but its only 5 inches wider than our honda accord, and Im pretty sure its as wide as our van. I should be fine.
Thanks man!
Sorry for the lack of updates over the past few days. Ive been up ridin' the trails at my cabin 
. Got my fuel pump, shift linkage, and bushings today, so I should be back to working tomorrow. I got a couple of cool pic from riding below

ooo nervous reverse off the jetty i bet
Ya lol. I just got off and pulled it backwards.
Got my bearing carriers drilled for the 1/2 inch bolts today, and I but the bushings in my suspension
. The rear end is basicly done. Im looking at approx. 15 inches of travel right now depending on how high I want ride height to be. Nothing like the feeling of acomplishment lol
Hopefully I will be mounting them like this:
I might have clearance issues though, so I will have to find another wa to mount them if I have too.

Do you have a trailer wide enough to haul that thing around??

Where are you going to mount the bump stops?
Also, I would have thought you would mount shocks farther down the a-arms toward the wheels. What kind of coil-overs are you planning on using?
Keep up the awesome work!

Hopefully I will do that tomorrow. I cant decided if Im going to triangulate it, or just put some bracing in.
Depending on the shocks I use I might not need bumpstops. I will be mounting them farther down, the pic was just a sketch. I'm hoping to get a set of Megan Coilovers off of ebay, but I would have to figure out how to mount them. Thanks!
I ordered my shocks today.

I also spent the majority of the day shortining my steering rack. One of the biggest pain in the @$$es ever, but I got it done.

Didn't work on the buggy today, but I got picked up a few projects to do while I'm waiting for parts to arrive:
1978? Yamaha XS400. Only 10,002 miles! I'm fixing this for my uncle.
Also picked up a older yard king snow-blower. Motor runs, but it has a few other issues (mainly rust). I cant decide if I want to fix the whole blower, and paint it. Or just sell the motor.
I also picked up a old 1980 lawnboy engine, and a a murray 3.5hp lawn mower. I don't know what to do with the lawnboy motor, but I'm hoping to sell the motor for profit
Hopefully Ill be mounting the seat and beefing up the a-arms tomorrow!

Ya lol, It fell of in our driveway and I still havent put it on.
im very jealous of that yamaha! 
i've recently been lookin into those (the xs650s anyways) to make me a nice bobber, but its hard to find a cheap fair condition one! i wanna try to build a decent one as cheap as possible. how much you give for that one if you dont mind me askin?
