I've seen so much build starting from the front, some amazing build ! If you have a plan or a good idea of what you're doing it's not a problem at all. See some AR51 build for example here: http://www.minibuggy.net/forum/ar51-buggy-group/18590-marks-busa-ar51-build.html...

Nice project JDW, keep on posting i'll be watching! Welcome an good luck!

Ah ok, thought it was steel because of the rusty color stains on it

Nice work keep on! how did you roll the sheet, do you have a sheet metal roller?

We'll see, these stamped bearing are rated for 1000lbs of dynamic load capacity. A casted one would take about 2600lbs. I saw some jackshaft made with flange mounted stamped bearing, witch take the same dynamic load as base mounted like mine. How much load do you think the chain is applying...

1. it is impossible for the swingarm to hit the jackshaft unless it smashes the shocks and raised so high that the floor of the buggy would almost hit the ground. 2. thats right the chain will take a little loose when swingarm moves up, but i wonder how much, maybe it will not be a big issue...

last update for now: Brand new 1045 steel Ø1-1/4 shaft, SKF square flange bearings and 42T martin sprocket. Mounted it on the swingarm. Also, making new wheel hubs suiting the rear shaft.

updates: Recieved my new comet 40 series as per your advise and all the stuffs to make the jackshaft.

Updates: I've finished my front suspension, perfect stiffness. I recieved tha rack and u-joints so i build my steering column with an offset. And i've made my swingarm and mount it wit the shocks

Dude your project is sick! it's not an easy one and It seems tight in that shop. Guess It'll be powerfull with that 900. Where you from? In my area i think I can't make something like that street legal. Keep one posting pics bro i'll be watching :popcorn: hope you gonna make a vids of your riding

yea something like that is a good idea

Because i wanted to keep the rest of the space as a trunk to carry stuff, luggage, lunch or extra gas can for example. i'm gonna make a flat surface with rods going side to side

Ok **** is fixed! fliped the engine around and reweld the exhaust in the good position.

Of course i will not let the fuel line rest on the exhaust. I will turn the engine and see if i need to switch the fuel tank to the other side too. Maybe it will be ok if i only reroute the fuel line Thank you

A chance i posted progress before continuing the setup too far! thanks for catch Do you think the exhaust will be too hot for the fuel tank? cause it will sit right over it when turned around
