I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to turn a quad into a Threewheeler. For example lets say that a company who makes performance racing frames for a Raptor (for example) was told to make just the engine compartment and the subframe. You then ask them to put a stem in. If they won't do it then just cut the front end of the frame where the A arms attach and weld a stem on or just use the one there if the rake is right.

Next, sell all the stuff you don't use on ebay (to pay for some of these costs), get some Tri Z forks and triple tree or heck just get some YZ upside down forks and make a custom triple tree. Hook up a headlight from a WR450 and find a fender that fits and you are there...front brakes can come from the YZ or Tri Z.

What does everyone think? It has got to be possible...heck in the 80's we had to deal with people converting 3 wheelers into Quads...why don't we start converting Quads into Threewheelers again!!!

I have a tri-z front end minus the brakes.I even have a frame you can
cut the front off to fab it to the quad.

I know this is a ancient thread,but i would like to see some one build one. It seems nowadays the 660 conversion would be alot cheaper then the atc450r conversions i have seen...since raptors arent so new anymore* I think it would be a fun torquey monster.....

That's exactly what I had in mind when I dreamed up my user name. The 700 would make an awesome trike, but the 660 would be a lot cheaper.
