Ask your passenger to step out while you climb. I do miss the two seater because it was so much fun scaring the crap out of the passenger. |

Comparing a one seater to a two is like comparing a crotch rocket to a stock newer 'Vette, to me. They can both go like hell, handle well and are a blast to drive. But in a one seater, like a sport bike, everything is designed around YOU. The weight balance, and less of it, makes a HUGE difference. You can see all four corners of the buggy much easier, and I feel more in control in one. (Dont know if I AM, just feels better  !) Their is no comparison, IMO, when you are climbing, or even rough trail riding. It feels incredibly safe, also , to be in the middle, away from the sides of the buggy. Definately a confidence booster. I know, a potent 2 seater will do just about anything a one seater will of the same quality, its just easier in a one seater. When I went from my two seater to my one seater, it made a bigger difference than it did when I went from a 1675 3 rib to a 2387 6-rib in my two seater, as far as performance. NO joke!. Of course my two seater was a little clapped out, and heavy, and the new one got new suspension put under it, too. All of this is in reference to a chassis designed to be a one seater, though. Not a two seater with the seat in the middle. I would think alot of it would still apply though.
You could get most of the best of both worlds and do an inline twoseater, like Willie's or my son's!! I do miss having one of my sons in the buggy with me when we are just trail riding. Thanks to Willie though, now they can go with me again!!! Larry |

yeah im doing stuff to my motor and thts another reason. lol another reason why ive been considering a 1 seater is tht i have a 1 inch bar where my steering mounts and i had a grab bar and it ripped off one weekend. and if i move it up to my loop with 1 1/2 inch it will be in my face. plua i can sit lower with a 1 seater which helps with my climbing because my top of the loop is in my face |

If your Ohshit bar ripped off, I'd be VERY concerned about the rest of the welds on that chassis  ! Its possible someone different welded it on than the person who did the rest, but if you aren't real familiar w/ that frame, I'd do a REAL CLOSE inspection for cracks in the other welds, and recheck it often.
