Changed out my rear torsion to what I thought (bought) was type 3. Turned out it they were type 1. Oh well maybe these havent their tension. The ones I bought were used. It would have cost more to send them back.

Traded for a my first buggy a month ago. Hit the trials two weeks back and now I have a list of things to change or fix.
1) Throttle cable: It sucks change to Morse style
2) Fix front tire: Poked a hole right in the side of that one
3) Rear brakes: Looks like last owner forgot a spacer on the axel and rotor ate into mounting bracket
4) Isolate issue with alternator: I think I found that today. Loose wire not sending signal to voltage regulator.

As my wife already said " looks like your spending more time in the barn now with the buggy and not with me"

Im sure the list will continue to grow

If you can use a pivot on the bottom mount it lets the top and bottom of the bag stay parallel. Also if you have a 9 inch travel bag make the mounts 9 inches apart at full droop.I

Started taking my black buggy apart. Pulled the motor. Took out the third seat in the back. Got trans ready to set out. Going to take it all apart and put a new rear housing in it. Change front from BJ to KP. Raise the roof and make a new back cage. Got lots of changes to make to have going by sept 13. Can't wait to put my madmike rear swing arms and new front arms on it. Chad :mrgreen:
