Odyknuk you probably have one of the safest buggies in the woods looking at the pictures. I have run mesh in 4 of my last 5 buggies and solid in 1 I just like the mesh better . I understand sticks can come in on you but If you dont run side panels I dont see where a solid floor is that much safer

Do what you want with the floor its yours theres pro and cons to both. i myself have mesh so i can see through it while in a wheelie. just my .o2 worth. Same goes with hard tops its like placing a snow sled on top of your buggy.it will protect you from sticks but it will also help the buggy slide all the way to the bottom.

Buggy looks great. I have a solution to your fuel tank bar problem. Notch the bar so the air cleaner clears & use a piece of steel pipe with an inside diameter a little larger than the air cleaner to bridge the gap. It will look like you made it that way on purpose without the rework.

Looking real good. I really like the way the roll cage is braced up. I wanted to do something similar on mine however like a lot of things I ran out of time.

That thing look's good Ilike alot of the things you did to it.I also have 1 seat in the back for my boy. he's going to be 10 in april and i guess i'll start building his then, but when he was little i bought one of those simpson baby seats at wal- mart. it was awsome already had 5 point belts fit him good from when he was 18 months until almost 4.just thought i'd let you know i seen you said you had a 18 month old.on my new buggy i took a plastic welder from harbor freight and cut down a high back poly seat to fit back there and still look like the front seats. was amazed how easy and nice of a job it did.but anyway can't wait to check out the final pictures when you get it done.gasman :mrgreen:
