Dics all round will stop it but dont think it will go round corners as most quads dont have a diff so thay have a 1 wheel grip 1 wheel spin  but that much power I recon you will just rip the tyres off or twist the axle .
Hang on off road would be fun to say the least beach racing ?????

the idea is to keep the motor bike and just replace the forks and front wheel with a modified quad type front end!!!!!!!! crazy i know

Wow that is good one EMz thanks for that - i love acf50 and its kept my bikes okies the last two winters riding...Thumbs Up   The only ohter thing i wasnt sure of is JP when you said you use hot water to get salt off Shocked - i heard this is a definate no no as hot water makes metal expand and absorb more of the salt?    I spray down with cold water to get rid of  all salt... then wash or know acf50 doin its job so wash bit later   Interesting says its lasts 24 months Shocked

heard this is a definate no no as hot water makes metal expand and absorb more of the salt?

yes I'd been told the same as it activates the chemicals in the 'salt'..
edit actually after a bit of googling the problem with hot water is it dissolves the salt and spreads it all over the bike and into its crevices, whereas cold water just washes it off..?

i think ACF50 is brilliant stuff, i bought a can 3 years ago and i have't had any trouble with my bikes they still look spotless, and i haven't even used any of it yet, any one want to buy a 3 year old can unopened.
