Comments from the owner, Stan:
not to sure how acceptable my idea is to most bikers. Some have expressed distaste. I am sure some have been quieted by the fact the bike was destroyed within the first 1,000 miles by a squid who looped it into a car and broke the steering stem housing bottom half off.
I started with the engine and broke frame. All else was bought from damaged bikes and repaired and modified. Just to see if I could accomplish what I thought was the best idea, at least for me.
The bike is all 2000 cbr1100xx except the front frame work from a cannondale quad and the rear carrier from a 400ex Honda quad. I have changed the rear shock from stock, which I ran for a while, to a direct link. The factory did not have enough travel for off road. Yes I ran it for two years in the sand hills to prove the durability and handling. Good enough.
Been on a few trips since October when I finished the street conversion.
Did about 1,000 miles with the owners organisation and although I had a fuel regulator failure proved it would run with the big dogs through the hill country at Kerrville, Texas hwy 335,336,337. Really corners like a go cart, just much better brakes and tires than anything else.
I have thought about doing some others, but the law about rebuilding wrecked bikes here will not let you do newer than 2003. But I would rather now that I know what I am doing do a non-wrecked. Even better, New.
Think a Wing with the independent rear trike would be great and have reverse.
Was going to sell this one and do a cbr1000rr with a rear diff. But, after riding it I don't think unless you want to carry someone, it is necessary.
I have about 10,000 in it plus my labor. But, that is an estimate. I still have a lot of parts left over.
I figure I could do another one like it for about twice that, but it would take me twice that to be intrested in puting in the effort. The new BMW GG Quad Starts at 45,000. About right. Yes, it is still titled as the orginal bike and taged and inspected as such.
