I was pulling into my local 4 wheeler repair shop, and in the back of a pickup pulling out was a 3 wheeler that he converted to a 2 wheeler. I ask the shop owner who it was, he didn't know his name. But he said he took an old Honda (didn't know which one) and made his own swing arm and put one wide rear wheel on the back. I never herd of this. But I think it's a cool idea. Has anyone here ever done this? Any pictures anywhere?

 

I know of an 85 or 86 ATC250R that was converted into a 2 wheeler, I can't remember what they're called but they're awesome dune bikes, and haul butt! I'll try to find out info and post it.

 

i have seen that 250r 2 wheeler too. those things are called fat cats. never rode one but they look like they suck! lol oh yeah and frank bean rides one into that lake in huevos 3!

 

The kits were made by a company called Missile.They supplied the rear hub to take one standard rear wheel,sprocket and disc , a swingarm that would hold the standard rear caliper and a rear guard which also covered the muffler.The swingarm had a cross over shaft with two sprockets.A short chain went from the countershaft sprocket to one side of this shaft,then another chain went from the other end of the shaft to the rear sprocket.You could even run the standard rear grab bar.The whole thing looked factory and handled well.I have a kit for sale but the cost of shipping from Australia to the U.S might be too expensive.I bought the whole trike/bike in Ca.a couple of years ago and turned it back into a trike.

 

Thank you jmc, for clearing up the name. juggalo, fat cats are not the same thing, although they look similar, and they are kinda fun to mess around on in deep mud.

ummmm...juggalo...that bike was neither a converted 250r or even a 2 stroke.

Ever seen the 1-800-collect commercials with Eva Savalot and Jeremy McGrath? I don't think it's on anymore but what I found hilarious about it was when Eva takes off doing a wheelie on McGraths 2 stroke bike it sounds like a 4 stroke. ROFLMAO, stupid!

I've seen that commercial before. There was a movie or TV show on the other night that did the same thing. The bike made a 4 stroke sound, yet it had a big expansion chamber!

 

the converted 250r and the fat cat used in huevos 3 are 2 different things i was talkin about.

Juggalo I'm sorry but your post still doesn't make much sense. I think you've been hangin with frank bean and his bong too much.

 

lol lemme see if i can clear this up. i was talking about 2 different things. one thing was a 250r converted into a 2 wheeler. another thing i was talking about was the use of a fat cat in huevos 3
