Kasea Dual A Arm Conversion?

[fastrnrik]

I have been thinking of changing our Kasea over to dual a arm. My son used to love it, but after we got some DRR's, he doesn't want to ride the "old" single arm bike because of the handling. It's a cool bike, so rather than get rid of it or part it out, I figured I'd maybe switch it over to a dual a arm setup so we could get some use out of it. I'm not looking for a new high dollar aftermarket conversion. I was thinking of welding mounts and using a stock DRR or Apex front end, or maybe a used aftermarket frontend? This would give us the better frontend/handling, disc brakes, etc.
Any input would be appreciated.

If your not planning on racing it...weld away. I would recommend the DRR 44 inch front end and shocks. Not sure how your local races are, it maybe legal that is something you would have to check on. If not it would make an awesome practice bike. Good luck and resurrect the old Kasea!!! :macho

The only racing it would do would be some open class/outlaw stuff where changing the frontend wouldn't matter. We have the DRR's for our local "stock appearing" series.

just invest in the dc conversion.we run one and it corners like its on rails.

Can you post a pic of the a arm mount area? I would like to get an idea what's involved for the upper arm mounts. I had the Kasea out next to one of the DRR's today, and it doesn't look like too big of a deal.

Here's the way Dave's (DC) is done, it is all bolt on so it makes it ATVA legal.

Kevin,

You still run a 90cc A/C engine for the nationals?

Cool!!!

[nastynotchback1]

Mine is different than that.When i get a chance i will post a pic of ours.

[mxdad423]

yea still running the A/C, seeing the L/C run, didn't see the need to convert, the A/C engine with the right guy building it will build every bit as much as the L/C. The only advantage with the L/C is if you are running long moto's and in MX of course your not on a 90.
