Well done. I must say that at the beginning of the build I was sceptical, but you have really done well. It is great knowing that you are riding something that you made yourself. I took the liberty of posting a before and after of your buggy

Update! I finally got some new wheels and tires. I believe they are from a polaris but the tires are basically new! Best part about it is that my girlfriends brother gave them to me for free but there was a catch.. I needed to drill them out for a 4x100 so i took off my hub and wraped the centering part of it with eletrical tape and that allowed me to get a perfect marks to drill! Also got a 4point harness from ebay $23 shipped. It was well worth the money as i am not sliding around and im safe! Enjoy the pics

Can I see how you shift through your gears please?

Other than that, you have a really cool buggy. I'm jalous.

Look through some of his more recent pictures, he uses two cables to shift. Press the lever forward and one of the cables moves the shifter on the engine forward. Pull the lever back and the other cable pulls the shifter on the engine back. If you can, a solid linkage or push/pull cable would be preferable.

Ok, thank you. The problem is that if you mount the engine on your rear swingarm, you won't be able to use a solid linkage.

Will check the thread now.

That's correct. You'll need some type of cable setup
