Hi to all & may I start by saying I think the information & attitude on this Forum seems second to none! I have a few other "toy's" as-well & always like to get stuck right in-to all the knowledge I can find on any new one that comes along. Although I have found that not all the places I chat on are as nice & helpful as this one! So when I got my newest Quad & found this Site..... Lets just say I haven't had much sleep for the last few days lol!

After doing a few searches, then reading from page 1- 26 & then about 15 pages back from the last page I decided I would have to make a Post to make it not only faster but easier for myself to find out some answers!

To all who read further:

I think its great if anyone that reads my Posts finds them in anyway interesting or helpful. From here on though it will be mainly questions that probably only those with a deep insight into these Quads will be able to answer so it may get a little long winded for some, just a heads-up!

First of all I will say that cutting, welding & all minor modifications to parts can be undertaken by myself &/ or friends if information is available or is easily worked out. I.E. extending the Swing Arm!

So............lol

Does anyone have any experience with the LT 160!?!

Can anyone say if any of the 230/ 250s Swingers &/ or Axle's are interchangeable with the 160 Frame/ Carrier?

I know lots of Swingers, Axles & Hub's are interchangeable between the 230s, 250s & even a few other Quads, sometimes depending on the Year. So what would be an over -all best set up for running on flat ground/ Grass, a few Trails & maybe the odd 3ft jump lol! I.E. best O.E Swinger off the newest Quad that will fit the 230/ 50 Frame & Carrier. This I can cut & weld for a extension to save money on buying a aftermarket Item! Best O.E Axle, for Width & Strength. Best O.E Hub's, either 4 Stud or Five to match the Axle! I read in a past Post on here about how much better Swingers were off Quads like the Honda TRX of about the same age. So I go look around at some pic's of a TRX Swingers etc. They obviously look kind of similar to the 230/ 250s & mounting is still via Two Tubular Sections where it joins the Frame. Anyone have anything to say on whether they think it would be too hard a job to mount something like the TRX Swinger!?! Then you would also be able to run one of the TRX's Axle's etc!

What would be a good Wheel & Tyre Package for running on the previously mentioned ground? I'm not looking to spend stupid money here & I will probably end up having to buy most Parts from the US & then have them Shipped over to the UK so things start getting pricey! Again, I have read that Wheels from other Quads fit if you have changed to 5 Stud Hub's etc. So if I had done that, what would be a good Off-set Wheel to run? I think I will probably want to go with about a 20" Tyre.

If there were say something like a 600cc Motor sat where the 230/ 50(/160 lol) one used to be, what would be a good Front & Rear Sprocket set-up?


TO ADMIN: I made this Post & mistakenly put it in as a reply in someone else's Post that I was reading. It was something like "help with 86- 89 Quadsport"! I know at the top of the page it says not to make multiple Posts on the same subject so this is just to let you know in-case you want to remove the other!?!
