nice grave dig




I used a pair of front ATV wheels from a Yamaha 225, because that's what I had laying around at the time !!!

I had to make my own hubs tho and that was the PITA bit, alloy weld a plate to a lump of solid bar then machine it into a "hub".

Took me Saturday to do the job and they've done lots of trips around the place now and so far haven't done anything wrong, I do have a modification in mind and that is to fit a better "bearing" as such, using a nylon bush is ok but there's a better way



these work really well on sealed carparks etc & even better on sand, where they fail a bit is on a beach that's covered in sea-weed, this ia probably due to the fact that they are 'inboard' of the hulls so a lump of sea-weeed tends to "rock the boat" so to speak !!
The other 'issue' is the weight, being m/cycle related, the rims are steel so they are a tad on the fat side and then there;s the long term issue of rust.....
I could get them galv-dipped but I figure a lighter set from one of those pocket 4wheelers for kids would be the ducks-nuts, they are also alloy rimmed

apologies......
don't actually have a single shot of the finished product, but you get the idea
