New front a-arm mounts....

Great work! Do you have any pics of the old mounts being removed and the new mounts attached to the frame? I'm especially interested in the upper mounts.

I do. I’ll search for those pictures now

Excellent! That's what I was hoping to see. Having the radiator removed affords a clear view of everything, which provides the context I've been lacking thus far. What do you think about modifying the factory upper control arm mounts to add a second set of tabs and gussets, then cutting the control arm bushing tubes so two bolts can be used with each?

My goal is to establish long-term strength and reliability for 90% utility and 10% light to moderate trail riding use. it feels strange saying that about a Honda machine, but it is what it is.

I think that’s a good idea and we have a second vehicle here and it’s a three seat model but long-term goal is to do the same thing with that one just for reliability.

I’m still making progress. It’s slow as I work on it on and off but at least I got to check the rear suspension today.

More changes since the last update. I took it for the first ride....

It’s not too bad at all. It’s crazy stable but still needs some shock tuning.



It’s definitely better than that ugly thing parked next to it!

Should’ve bought a KRX! 😂 😂 😆

Gonna have to change the name to Traveller ll.0

That’s the easy way plus I don’t want to be with that crowd. Those KRX guys are weird

Can’t use Traveller anymore, too closely linked to Robert E. Lee. Those protesters will be trying to set it on fire.

They wouldn’t even make him spill his cold beverage with this suspension.

It was fun to drive all the machines back to back last weekend.
