Yeah I guess you're right about the transmissions, I didn't even think about the obvious fact that one is a shaft and the other a chain. My neighbors 230s has an auto trans, so I guess some of them were autos and some had clutches. I don't know if I could cut the tie-rod down or not, but I could probably make something work if he were willing to sell them.
I thought I might be able to contribute some info to the Vault if you did want to include the shafties on there. I don't have any pics yet, and when I do the atv is pretty nasty looking, so it might not even be worthy to put on the site! Haha.

Man, this is one of the craziest off-road videos I've seen on YouTube. If I were in this vehicle, we would have to plan for a spot to stash me some Depends!

Well guys, I just threw down on that DVX! I can't believe it! $2499 for a 2006 DVX 400 in great shape. He said the guy that brought it in couldn't have ridden it too much, cause he couldn't even figure out reverse to back it out of his truck! The guy at the dealer had to help him! He also said I can keep trying to sell my wheeler, and if I wanted, he would take my 230 on a trade for around $1100, which isn't great, but nice to have as a worst case scenario. I got my 230 for nothing, put in just under a grand, and lets say I get $1200 for it, so that would mean I'm only pitching $1300 for a 2006 ATV that originally cost $5,899.00. Not too bad in my book. Plus its a full 20 years newer than the 230!
My cousin and I rode it around their lot and let me tell you, ignorance is bliss. I thought my 230 felt wicked fast (and it is) but the torque of these larger motors is amazing. I was roosting like crazy from third gear with just the slightest flick of the throttle! The guy took the exhaust baffle out too so it sounds sweet. The only weird thing is the weird cast iron grab bar he made from what looks like old railings! WTF?
I'm prolly going to run and pick it up someday this coming week. See if I get any hits on the 230.
I'll post up some pics in a few.
