Default Re: What would you put this 18 hp v-twin into?

I'd get a g22 and graft an ATV front on to it with brakes. I'd sort of carve out the wheel openings and put big flares on it. I'd make the lift not that high by increasing wheel travel via larger wheel openings, but still long travel for offroad use, and still wider for stability. Then I'd try maybe 26 tires it would depend how low I could keep it, but 26 would make reasonable speeds and power combo with stock gears. That engine would likely push it along nice enough, but I'd try to make a P85 clutch work on it for more overdrive, something I read is supposed to be possible. I might stick a cage and soft roof on and a baja bar of some kind lol, if I had a lifetime to work on it. A windshield for cool weather would be nice too. Well hey, you asked lol. A umax/prohauler would be a nice cart to do this to also, I like a rear box for utility but may be harder to clear big tires without being way high. Might even do a 4 seat limo, you could get away with being a little higher with that. A posi rear axle would be a sweet upgrade. Ok I'll stop.

I would put it in the Geep1 to replace the clone that has been in there from 2009/2010.
My guess is you have a new great project cooking, I can't wait!!!
