| This is what is left of a chopper I built over the winter. It is an 800 suzuki.  I needed a motor for my 220 bayou.....so there you go! I have the motor mounted, now there are about a million other things to get it finished. I think it will turn out pretty cool though.  Check out some of the stuff I have built over the years on my youtube channel......tntchitwood. | |

| Cool project. I have a parts bayou and am looking at getting a runner. You don't see much about them, either stock or modified. | |

They are both driveshafts. It will be as simple as connecting the two with a home made shaft. | |

What do you need to make yours a runner? I still have everything for this one, The motor needs rebuilt though. It had no compression. | |

| Locked up motor, no seat, no wiring, pretty much just a parts bike. I have a cheap running one lined up, just haven't had time to go check it out. | |

| Got the back bone (top) of the frame, the tank mounted, and the steering done today. It is all just tacked together right now. I guess I will connect the two drive shafts next.   What do you all think? | |

| More than likely I will put some of the body back on.....only with severe fender trimming. I want it to have a "sporty" look and the stock bayou plastic is anything but "sporty". I also don't want to cover any of the motor because that is the coolest thing about this bunch of junk. Here is a pic with the rear plastic on. The front will not fit in any way form or fashion. Also there will be a radiator on the front.  | |

Those tires are AWESOME! I used to follow the big boy 4-wheelers around on my little bayou. | |
