I've got an old ~74 Honda XL 125cc laying around my fathers barn. With all
the discussion of building buggy's at the BBQ and here in the group, its got
me debating doing something with that bike. Engine would need a total
overhaul, but I'm pretty sure I could get it running again. Kind of a small
engine though, IIRC it only kicks out 8hp or so. I seem to recall it
having a pretty decent top end speed - its been a looong time since I rode
that bike.
I've been checking online for various sites that sell or have free plans for
making baja buggies. Not sure I'd be willing to buy a completed one, but a
decent frame for the right price would be a nice starting point so you don't
have to fab the entire thing from scratch.
