I'm building my own buggy but don't want to make my own side rails and seat. I would rather purchase those two items and fit them into my plans. So here is the hard part, where does one find race type side rails and seat. Looking along the lines of the Ivanpah, sysmic, VTT scorpion setups. The XT+ up-graded rail set only accepts a 1.5" x 1.5" down tube so that's kinda out of the picture. I'm building a swan neck out of 2"x3" rectangle stock. Perhaps somebody knows a builder that can help me out? I know this is bad timing with NABX right around the corner but I'm willing to wait a few weeks if need be.

Thanks,

Rob.

Could you give us an idea what you mean by "race siderails"? the buggies you list all have different side rails. I just sold a set of XR+ upgrade rails which is made for my cricket buggy to a guy with a Peter Lynn race buggy and it worked out great. Are you just refering to a higher side rail and better back support?

My Stinger buggy (was called Scorpion) has the curved side rails , meant to better hug your hip and also allow clearance for handle moments. This allows you to fly a little bit overpowered and still feel comfortable.

Van, yes higher side rail, better back support and more secure feeling. I guess "Race" was a bad word to use. My original intention was to purchase the XR+ upgrade kit from Dino but it didn't look like it would work. I want to build a swan neck out of 2" by 3" stock and those rails aren't made for that. I don't have a pipe bender nor access to one so I didn't know where to get some of these type of rails. The higher type rails don't seem to be available anywhere without purchasing an entire bug, so hence the wanted ad.

Susan "npw goddess" has agreed to fabricate a seat for me after NABX so I think I'm good in that department. Just need some rails now and I'm golden.

I can build you a set of rails. Just let me know the dimensions and we can get them done for you. The Ivanpah uses 2/3 rectangle downtube so it would fit right in. Just need to know how you intend on mounting it to your rear axle and the overall length.

Yes, Kent's downtube is identical to your plan. That would work out great for you. Make sure Susan get all the dimension of Kent's rails so you can get a nice fitting seat.

Thanks Van! Kent is going to make me a set and ship them to me. I'll message Susan with the info so she has it after NABX. Thanks again.
