Well this project is under way. J pulled the quad out degrease it, and power washed everything. The engine and rear shock have been pulled off of the quad which we call Fuzzy. The tank, seat and fenders as well. So right now Fuzzy is just a rolling chassis, waiting for it's new powerplant.
The engine has been pulled from the Triumph and is looking good. We are thinking we are going to have to stretch the frame about 6 inches. Underneath the engine a subframe connector that will help tie the front and back of the bike together. It will also serve as a skid plate for the entire bottom of the bike.
As you can see from the photos, this is a 3 cylinder engine which gives it a very distinctive sound, and a great bark when you blip the throttle. There will be quite a bit of fabrication to get an engine cradle for this engine and the quad chassis, but it's going to be fun to build.
