I figured I'd take a few more pic's of the spiderbox with everything removed to show the damage better. This is one of the only areas on the buggy that didn't/hasn't needed some modification. These bars that are bent should be straight!! You can see how bad they are if you line them up with the rear rack. The fun begins now that it's disassembled, it will be an easy enough fix as it turns out. If I feel up to it I may make a new swingarm too since this one has had many mod's done to it since it's original installation (2011) with the Honda TRX200SX replacement in leu of the Howhit GY6 150(which is still a great engine). I'm still very happy with the decision to do the engine swap, as it fit's so well. I'm still in awe with how much power these little engines have and the reliability of them. I wish they weren't so HARD to find these days @ an affordable price so others could have the choice on an alternative power plant for these buggies and other kart projects. I'm sure everyone on this forum knows it's my powerplant of choice!!
