Just finished two 350s, both have the front and rear Farr suspension kits, both have the Farr 670 rotax conversions, one is the HO, and then I added power steering to one of them courtesy of Methodical Fabricator. PS was a must for me on this one, tore up my shoulder in a nasty dirt bike crash combined with 12 deg pos caster made it a bear to steer. Next up is a 800cc pilot using another Farr kit, and another 350 Farr build like these only its only a 500cc rotax.

Looks like some nice work. Could you post a few more pictures of the power steering. I bought a power steering unit form my pilot and need to install it. |

Amazing work. What are your thoughts on the 670 Farr kit? Did you buy the kit with motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) included? |

I have bought it both ways, I like the 670s the best for the high speed desert riding I do and the readily available parts |

One thing that will help with the steering effort is the front rims, my kits are setup for a 10x5 front rim with a 3+2 offset if your rims have a 2+3 offset you are adding an inch to the scrub radius which will make the steering harder. I was under the false impression a while back thinking that a 2+3 rim could be run on either side but the profile of most rims is not same on both sides. When you choose a rim offset like 3+2, it is the first number in this case the 3 that mounts on the hub face, and the valve is on the 2 side. |
