ezgo marathon 07gsxr 750 project
Fixing to start this project. I've got the engine an all the wiring to have it running,only took a shop vac muffler an a paint can for the gas tank ....an behold it fired up on the garage floor!! I have already fab in an big red 250 which did awesome, other then it getting hot .I'm pulling that out an wanting to go with full independent suspension. I was thinking of a center shaft with maybe honda civic cv's an spindles??? Any input would be great . Also I'm not sure how to post pics

Re: ezgo marathon 07gsxr 750 project
So here's what I'm thinking
front independent suspension back independent suspension gsxr 600 I would like to fab my own a-arms an steering ,still keeping the stock steering box. Not to hard but as for the back im gonna make my own carrier, I want to use a 1" shaft ,two side carrier bearings ,the sprocket an break rotor, then cut an weld the cv plates from a small car so I can use their cv joints ,hubs an spindles. An of course make my rear sub frame an a-arms. Any thoughts yall??? Oh an anyone know how much those engines can tilt either forward or backwards?? |

Re: ezgo marathon 07gsxr 750 project
Are you planning on using the rear fender body panels as part of the structural support for your subframe?

Re: ezgo marathon 07gsxr 750 project
Oooooh no!!! Lol I went ahead an hole sawed up high to give it alil different look. I welded the front two b9ttom sub frame bars in the original swing arm brackets an want to sleeve the top rear bumper bars so I can remove the sub frame just incase my driving skills aren't what I thought they should be. Although I did hit the salvage yards today for some hubs, spindles, an cv joints ....but I couldn't find the ones I want. Any ideas???
