here is a pic of my friends quad after the greensburg ks tornado that wiped out the whole town. we found it in a basement about 2 miles from where it was.

it used to be a very nice honda 450r.

Holy Cow! I always worried about my quads during a Hurricane. That thing looks like a truck landed on it!

OMG, I don't even understand how all that damage could happen. That really sucks for all of those people that have to deal with that tornado or any tornado.

Well the main part is him and his family is okay. That sucks that happened to him.

im fine i live about 15 miles away him and his family are fine a little shook up but ok. all his belongings are gone. we think that the motor is ok so i was wondering how hard it would be to put it in a dale frame. i have an extra one with a-arms and swing arm and stuff ill need some misc. parts but not alot if u guys have any suggestions let me know he really loved this quad it would be kind of neet to keep part of it going.

Does it have electric start?Never saw it done but it could be.Rear shock is biggest obstacle since its in the way of carb.

That sucks. I wouldn'lt bother with the adaptation. I have seen it done with a few other motors and its a ton of work and custom welding. And I would have to ask, why put a POS motor in a great frame.
