Well this is how my Foreman begun!

Was for sale many MANY miles away from me, actually in a different country [SCOTLAND], was advertised as a 2002, didnt look the best in first pics I received so I asked the guy to give it a clean down and send me a couple more pivc.......... to which it looked just OK.

Anyway decided to buy it as I got it quite cheap.

So when I arrived here, the work started and the mod! Also turned out after a vin check, the bike was a 2004! So was pleased with that lol

Some months later and a few $$ spent it now looks like this;

I think it shaped up pretty well!! And still got a few more bits to do.

Thanks Stu! The chainsaw is a stihl replica, 46cc with 18" bar, only thing I changed was the chain, I put a real stihl one on, the chain that came with it wasn't great.

They may not be available in the US, the make is BKT and the model is TR315

You should be able to get similar though, like these:

Carlisle Tires - Super Lug

I had those on my Rubi a few years ago in 26 12 12.
