I'm looking @ making a trailer for my Rincon to tow on the beach for over night fishing&camping trips. I was just going to use 2" right angel iron and expanded mesh. And then just make a basic box trailer and have it galvanized, but Id rather not have the wheels protruding out of the side. I want to use my two standed front wheels from the Honda, So dose anyone know here I can score an axle, hubs and springs ∨ tourtion bars from very very cheep Any Idea's Tips Tricks Things to look out for would be terrific Thanks

i built 1 a couple years ago and used the rear axle from a small front wheel drive chrysler car .(bought from junk yard for 40 buks).i think it was a dodge omni or similar 4 lug ..i cut it down and made it the same width as the quad ..and i found some atv wheels that were the same bolt pattern ..think they were old polaris rear (early to mid 90's) i built the frame out of 2x2 angle and put wheel wells in it so the tires/wheels didnt stick out i used atv shocks as the axle mounted with a few bolts and made a swing arm kind of setup.. the shocks were at a near flat angle only slightly angled for some suspension and to keep ground clearance as high as possible .. this should give ya some what of an idea .. it worked really well and u hauled around 700 to 1000 lbs in it.... i sold it t a guy that i met on a riding trip and he just had to have it and bought it from me the day we were leaving to head home ..he gave me 400 buks for it ..i only had about 200 in it ... i looked and cant find any pics...sorry ..

      Hello,

      Pondering on what would be better in terms of practicality vs. money spent. The ATV will be a small 125 cc Chinese brand that can be fully contained in a small euro-van (VW Caddy)

      1. Load the ATV on a trailer while riding it.
      Need to buy the ATV + hook + trailer (+ ramp?) and work on the car to mount the tow hook, of course.
      Perhaps I can find a trailer than can do this -
        Side question: what sort of mechanism that allows such loading is that, or, in other words, what sort of trailer am I looking for ?

      2. Load the ATV inside the mini-van.
      Need to buy the ATV + ramp.
      Also need to push it inside as riding it won't be possible. The thing will weight some 100 kilos, about 1.5 times my body weight. I shall go for the longest ramps that will fit into the van, but still, not sure I can push it in and pull it out of the van without cursing my life - if at all doable.

      What do you guys think ?

      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!
