That rear suspension looks bizarre

Says "Custom fabricated" but I think it is simply one of those cheap Chinese side-by-sides that someone chopped the rear swingarm/engine off, and reattached their own 'custom' swingarm with GS750 engine. Forward shocks are probably originals. Rear shocks are 'custom'.

Would I take it down an 1/8th-mile dirt drag? Umm.... maybe.
Would I take it off road down an ATV trail? Umm... hell NO. Ha!

It's "professionally built"...what could go wrong?

The Titanic was built by "professionals", the ark was built by amateurs.

That rear suspension looks bizarre

Im curious of the arc of swing arm travel has been accounted for to prevent the 2 shock sets from binding.

That and those 'shocks' must control the weight of that entire rear engine frame and the engine in addition to the rear wheels. I've seen WWI radial engine plane motors that spin around but I've never seen the motor as part of the rear suspension movement. But I'm not an engineer or even a fabricator; so maybe its not as bat **** crazy as it looks.

I'll bet the handling will be 'interesting' at times, with the entire powerplant and transmission as unsprung weight. Apart from that, something on the back end will break at the wrong moment.

In other words, a shyte load of unsprung weight. Not a good thing.

Says he wants to trade for a different bike. I'm assuming he wants one that doesn't leave skid marks on his ass.

No air filters, short pipes with no mufflers, and his last 8 words are "....carbs could use a lil tuneing I'm sure". Ummm yeah - good luck with that....

But not to worry, getting up to speed may be the least of your worries. The low seat, unmodified foot peg/brake pedal ergonomics, and only a rear drum brake... stopping that fugly thing will be verrry interesting. Maybe it's intended for the "Fred Flinstone" system - just dig your heels in?

[Grimly]

It must run like a bag of turds.
