Peter Lynn Race Buggy
http://sarasota.craigslist.org/spo/5530103326.html

The PL Race was my first bug. The rear suspension is adjustable, helped reduce slides and resist lateral pull. Nice back support too.
I used mine for ten years week in week out on grass, eventually I sold bits off. Never needed a change of bearings in all that time.

Took a look at that bug. I'm not personally in the market or located in the right place, but man, if I was on both counts I'd snatch up that bug in a heartbeat!

The one thing that turned me off of this style buggy was that the seat was at least twice as wide as my butt.
That and the fact the front fork wasn't big foot compatible.

Still it's a good buggy at an OK price?

I found it a snug fit. :embarrased:

Gotta say, that's any easy fix. :saint:

I have a couple of those adjustable race axles if anyone is interested in them. Make me an offer.

I keep thinking it needs a front shock too....to match and balance suspension w/ barrows, anyway....?

If you go bigfoots ....do you need the shocks as much....? but that would be interesting. Edge hold at speed w/shocks vs without....?

Anyway, as it is 'Never used. Brand new condition. Will take best offer".... it is a very good offer for NEW ....and especially if you get it for less.

Oh yeah... the shipping costs. Add a $100+

Just out of curiosity, how well would it match up with the XR+ siderails?

Kent - I may take you up on that. I was at your house just before IBX earlier this year and met your bride Daelyn while I was picking up some stuff for Paul to bring down to Ivanpah after he blew out his wheel.

Maybe we can rummage around and see what other goodies you have that I might "need". :-)

I've always liked the idea of the suspended axles. Do I need it with my big balloon BFs? Of course not, but why should silly details like that get in the way? I continue to transform my buggy over time. It started as a stock PL Bigfoot+ but I pimped it up a bit with Van's awesome rail and seat kit that I absolutely love. Coupled that up with some nice Sysmic rims and new tires (originally from Van) picked up from the venerable utahtami, so the evolution continues. Why stop now? :karate:

The suspension axle is only available for the ST buggy (standard buggy with smaller diameter frame rails). If you were to fit this to the XR+ rails, it would need some modifications.

Windstruck, you are more than welcome to come by at any time. We love visiting with you always. We gotta get a regiment going for buggying regularly too!

Sounds like it wouldn't work for my purposes then. I'm running VTT rails down to a stock wide BigFoot rear axle now on BF tires. It's not as if I needed the suspension; I just think it's cool and would have been a "pimp my ride" buy.

YES to getting together and buggying! I'd love to explore that place you told me about over near Tooele.

If you really like the suspension .. buy it from Kent .. have him ship it to me. Then ship your old axle to me.. I'm sure I can combine them somehow.. lol.
