I found this bar stool on a website: http://www.pcpoffroad.com . It a set up ive never seen before and I thought it was pretty cool. I emailed the site in regards to having a frame built, and they want $1600 for the bare frame including the a-arms. Thats more cash than I have so I was wondering if anyone on this site could build this for me, or knows any whre else I could get something like this from? I searched the forums and got nothing. I have never built a barstool racer before (due to the fact that I cant weld). Oh and this is my first time on this site so hello to all. so what do you guys think?

Hey that thing does look cool:thumb: , but under close inspection it doesn't have any kind of rear suspention. I would put a little more design work into it myself. seems to me if you hit something hard enough to need the front suspention you would break the rear axel. Just my 2 cents worth

get a nice ATV and dismantle it. You can get one from less than 1600 bucks and you will have the wheels, a arms, chassis, engine, in fact, everything you need.

Just make some changes and add a barstool to it =) .

If I was in the US I would do one for ya but im sorry that I live in Mexico

Ditto to what Elvergon said...A buddy of mine bought a 4 wheeler at a yard sale for less than $200.00.....Modified the frame , added a bar stool and custom paint , .....Really wicked and scary to ride ,but way cool. 250cc/6 speed tranny/dual Hyd /rear brakes and wheelie bars. He claimes that he only has $700.00 in it. Snakester:cheers:

B-DAWG - Check out the Photos from Members, I believe that Ironfist104 built a yellow one with front suspension....

i think it rules... if it had some sort of independent rear suspension similar to the front, THAT would be somethin... still very cool though.
