Is Grass legal in your state? Ha! And a custom Brick!
Everything is legal till you get caught. Gotta have new ideas to make new things. Might be awsome.

Make sure to get some video footage of "51". That should be interesting.
will do in dec. i think will be first snow test unless it happens to snow earlier.
I :face-icon-small-winlike what you did with the front suspension.Cant wait to see her run. Do you carry the brick up on the hill!

I had that front end on my three BMw r1150gs's 1
0 yrs ago, thats why I traded one of them towards my first snow hawk, it looked like the ticket to my future!

Looks like he's been soaking it in ACID before he smoked it.
Wow! you really do need to post up some video of this thing on the snow.
What motor are you running?
Wow is right With all these drug comments I'm thinking I hear the cops coming.
So what do you really think of this thing as far as direction of new concept?
Motor is Ltr 450 e start injected
feels very small and light. Smaller than my kx125 by a fair margin. Chain is straight shot, not even a tensioner sprocket, so no drag.
I like the idea of sitting on top of the rear suspension.. It's a little boxy though hope there is some plastic in the future.....

very very very cool project!! how are you shifting the motor? recluse auto clutch or something that was used on the snowhawk?
the shifting is done just like a moto bike with standard clutch. I added the shift petal after the pics were taken. I since added the exhaust also. Put on the heated grips and hand guards now too. Just a few small details and it time to hit the snow for some real world testing..
I don't really know what other kind of body work to make so it is not as boxy.

Make it sexy!
Dress it up from the Victorias Secrets or Frederic of Hollywood's catalogs, then it'll have some curves.:face-icon-small-hap

I like the concept!
But you better wear some body armor. Those sharp corners are going to hurt!!Maybe redesign the frame with curves instead of 90 degree angles?

Mad Props by the way! nice build.

Little rough on the edges , but really like the concept, the geometry is right for once on a single ski, all the others make to many compromises to retain the dirt bike frame . The track needs to be right under the engine on a bike but this makes it to tall unless you are 7 foot+ (Yours has that part perfect)
The side flex of the zx2 will be awesome in this application.
Got to love innovative thinking.
