Today I bought a Dukar 200cc motorcycle. The engine runs really nice and it has electric start. I am planning on building a single seater to put it in. It needs to be very light. Maybe I will buy a set of plans from Ted (theo)and build his single seat buggy!! Does anyone have a single seat buggy that has a bad engine or maybe a frame from Dazon or the like that they want to sell?
Here is a picture of the bike it is not pretty but the engine and electrics are in great shape.

The lightest single-seat full suspension buggy I ever saw was an old Sidewinder by Tomberlin. This had the faithfull old Howhit in it and predates even the Yerfdogs. Looking at one you can sure see where the Yerf came from. Might be worth looking for one just for the light frame and good suspension. _________________ _________________

I will check with Dazon and I will look into that Tomberlin and see what it looks like. I am probably going to just build another frame and go with that. I was just trying to make it easier by getting a frame already built.
I just did a parts list. The cost is about 2800.00 to make an independent suspension single seat buggy. I may need to buy a frame/complete gokart with a bad engine. Any one want to sell a frame? _________________ Randy

I contacted Dazon and they replied they have a couple frames and could sell me a rolling chasis. They asked me to reply so they could email me pics and a price and I haven't heard from them since the 6th.
I went to the iron yard today and bought 43 feet of 1-1/4 inch diameter .085 wall tubing so I can start the frame. I should have something done by this weekend. _________________ Randy

From the past experiences, they like to drop these frames CHEAP.. definately contact them and keep up the contact. Call the office there if you have to and mention you are regular BuggyNews contributor. We'd love to see what you can do with a Dazon frame. Terry Chia should be interested. I'll try and email him for you as well.
