All bodywork "factory" fitted. I agree the front end needs fully enclosing and I saw somewhere on here someone did it himself in yellow.Looks excellent but couldnt attempt myself.

Well I knew that this being Chinese build , some of the attachements would be of the cheap variety but would you expect the "chrome" to come off like this with a wipe from a damp cloth????

ey ey mate.
The only problem I have encountered was when I was turning left on a left-slanted junction and had to give way. I couldnt see a damn thing to my right and had to guess that it was clear. If I had thought earlier I would have entered straight on. Other than that there is no difference.
I must just say that the A1offroadbuggies company I bought this off is a little shortcoming in replying via email contact.And I still havent received my jets after asking for them 3 times. This lack of communication or response is putting me off buying any other add-ons from them.
As for the chinese chrome... well I was thinking about upgrading the headlights anyway.(But not so soon).
More reference to the mudguards .... they were still scraping the wheels so I took hold of each tube and pulled. They come out sufficient to clear . quite an easy fix really.
Found that it actually is nessessary to check all your nuts and bolts regularly. Its suprising how many loosen up after a ride.
Take note also that there are more road legal buggies entering the UK market including larger engines.
See you later.

To be fair to A1offroadbuggies, they have kept to their word and I recieved my nice new shiney headlamp today, foc.
Back to happiness.

Hi everyone new poster here!
Ive got a Joyner 650 my self in black, cant fault it for looks and presence on the road. I got it from Storm Buggies and I really cant fault the chaps.
Ive got one niggle that is with the build of the shell I am having trouble with corrosion. There is a fair few spots coming thro and ive only had it 2 weeks. Wondering if anyone else had issues with it too?

Only surface rust , mainly on the nuts and bolts on mine. Same as on bikes. Cheap metal!! = rust. I'm in the process of changing as many as I can with good quality chrome ones and painting rust inhibitor on the other areas( you know the stuff that turns rust black).
Your black one will be mean looking I guess. I didnt get that choice of colour. Envy!!
Any pictures?
I finally got video cam strapped to it for journeys and will hopefully be posting some shorts as soon as I edit.
Is that company good? I need new carb jets to go with the sports exhaust and cant get A1 to send them .

Sorry for the long wait.
Will sort some pics out, ive gone thro the kart and replace most bolts/hose clips I can with aircraft spec ones.
I have real concern with the welds now almost all are showing signs of rust.
For sales Storm are top spec.

Hi I have sold my gs moon 260cc buggy for a GOKA 650cc road legal buggy and also had similar problems ie nuts and bolts falling off and mudguards snapping at the base off the weld.Anyhow I am fixing these as I go along.I have now put 700 miles on my buggy and liking it more and more every time I go out on it.It would be nice for someone to arrange a meet one weekend in the UK and have a drive through some of our great country side with fellow buggyers and exchange conversations and tips.Anyhow I will keep you all up to date with my outings ..........Regards Jeff
