Enigne\Frame for my off road buggy

(1/1)

jones:
Hi,

I've been building an off-road buggy for a while (just started a project log in the projects section) and thought I would put the engine here.
It is a 2007 Suzuki GS-500F with only 9,500 km's (5,900 miles). 47hp, oil cooled, twin cylinder, 6 speed manual.

The bike as I bought it:

Partially stripped down:

Engine out:

I am putting ordinary car tyres on my buggy to save money, so I think this engine will be enough to do powerslides and drifting, since that's what I enjoy most.

Hi,
I've started a thread in the projects in progress section, but thought I would put pictures of the frame here as well.

The frame is almost finished, and I am about to mount the engine. Since taking these photo's I have added a couple more bars to the front end and fully welded the rest of the frame (it is just tacked in these pictures)

Bernd:
Are you TIG or MIG welding the frame? If I can see right you must be TIGing the frame if that black box is any indication.

Looking forward to seeing more of this build  ........ good luck  :thumbup:
