I have been consistently upgrading and modifying my original design on my 2 seat project. As of late, I have upgraded my steering a few times, made some engine mods, did some electrical adjustments and bought a set of rear shocks, custom made from Works Performance. I have not been out for many riding experiences lately, however, but my latest excursion worked out great. I now have finally got the engine running perfect and the buggy's handling and performance is near what I was aiming for when I was designing it. Hopefully if any warmer weather comes my way, I will get to put some hours on it soon. Here are a few pics of what it looks like (at least for now).

Looks good Matt. I really like those shocks! Did you spray the buggy or did you have it done? I am trying to decide what to do with my new single seat buggy as far as color is concerned.

Where did you get the axle assembly and rear swingarms?

Matt made the axle assemblies.

The trailing arms were made from 1" round steel tubing and the
carriers are 2 inch black pipe with the center machined out for
the bearings to fit. He also indicated in a post on his Yahoo group that the trailing arms are loosely based on the desert kart suspension.

Thanks for helping me out there Randy. I know it sometimes takes me too long to post replys. As far as paint, I sprayed it. I wire brushed the whole thing, cleaned it, primed it, sanded it and then painted it. It has been fairly durable so far, but I have not had enough ride time to fully understand the lasting durablitiy of Ace Hardwares Rust Stop primer and paint.

I have still been making many upgrades and modifications to my original design. Lately I have added some steering guards, exhaust heat shield, experimenting with rejetting, etc. I still have additional plans: I am going to add another set of shocks to the front end to stiffen the dampening. I have another set of shocks exactly like the current front shocks, that I originally tried on the rear. I figure a few shock tabs and my time will be cheaper than trying to find new shocks. Who knows what I will change next... This project will never be complete. Below is a better view of the overall buggy and a current rear view.
