    I voted "other": Electric drive, independent wheel motors with full suspension No chains, no gas, no oil. Won't happen, until I build one of course

    Hey JRP3,
    Where you been? Have seen you in a while.
    Would an independent wheel motor be mounted in the hub? If so, on a springer you wouldnt have any driveline angles to worry about and you could really increase your wheel travel with a smaller A-Arm and stay narrow! Very interesting concept!!!

    Been busy working on my electric Fiero conversion, which is up and running, taking me to work every day
    Yeah the wheel motors would be the wheel itself, there is a guy making them for motorcycles and he thinks he can make them waterproof for this application. No real technical hurdles to doing it, just time, and money of course.

    so does anyone that hangs here have a machine shop with a CNC milling machine to make prototype suspension that ive designed ?? i dont have the final dimensions yet but all that will come as machining and milling starts
    He who has not cruised the back country in a 6x6 , has not lived life to it's fullest
    A Mans level of mechanical education directly corresponds to the level pain suffered while getting it
