    The main pieces you would need, rear swingarm, rear fender and the front triple trees which would use the stock forks from your bike. There have only been 2 or 3 of these aftermarket conversons found that I know of, making them quite rare. Best of luck in your quest.

    When you are doing the conversion you should redo any welds where the suspension or swing arm would be. Just to help to be more solid. You might also want to look at youth atvs to find a rear swing arm. Good luck!
