preliminary testing proves to be good but not safe with straps

Not only have you taken the lead on max number within a P1K5, but you have also solved the wheelie weight problem! With the current set up, I'm thinking you can ride a wheelie for at least a mile:);)

Oh it'll wheelie. I'm actually looking at this project but it's got to be right. The pioneer handled it super good just around the old motocross track. Better then i figured and only one person inside which full cabin would be much more stable. I'm sure it's a possibility now may just go into production level for just light cruising. Don't worry I did the original with an engine block. Our harsh night rides would have to drastically mellow

Oh oh! Put some casters on the bottom side of that rear basket so you can ride wheelies without scraping.
Flat bottom. Might be a good video:)

What about the tongue weight on that hitch receiver? It's designed to tow 2000 lb so the hitch might only be engineer for 200 lb.

I'm looking at doing an upper brace on each side bolted to to ROPS with a steel bar mount. There's no way it would be trusting through just hitch and needs to be stable. The straps were only to get an idea of function and placement. It would be mounted in a triangularform so the hitch mount should only take 1/3 the weight. 170x2 people plus approximately 65 for the steel and chair puts everything at around 400. More then doable. Going around and looking at seatbelts and safety measures but pretty serious. Needs to be solid and easily removable. It would mainly be for easy trails and fire roads. We played a little more last night and I even sat in back with a trusted driver (which will be mandatory at all times) and it's smooth and more comfortable then the rear seat for sure still enough room in the bed for a cooler. I thought there would be a lot of whip being that far back from the rear end but those load levelers on the 1000 are incredible. I'll never replace them they are too good. (The front still needs Fox) Checked with local laws and seems to be legal even with seatbelts and helmets. Got some testing to do yet to assure all I believe but looks good. The nose is a little light with only a driver up front but still doesn't do anything too bad just pushes the corners a bit. Way better with pioneer loaded.

Awesome wife!!
She's nuts like me, maybe worse but if it's camp related for everyone she's in. But the more the marrier. It's nice to take more people. Now we're the size of a four seat Polaris but we'll be 7 seatbelted. Excited. Desided to use the harbor freight rack as a base with a removable seat so it's even more versatile. Now a 6 foot bed. Tailgate can still lower. Gets the rack up so we can still off road good. Big loads coming let's see popo do what's about to happen:) all done with backyard stuff no money yet. Just wait it's going to be solid!
