    Dunecycle story and info request

    Yes...much as a trailer axle with idler hubs, except here, obviously the hubs don't "idle." The "tube" with the live axle running through it covers only the center portion (about 26" - guestimation) then the hubs (live) slide on each end of the axle and are fastened with a bolt that runs...

    The whole front end is identical to the Mojave like in your pics though Gumpit...Mine had a JLO Rockwell 340 engine as well, rather than the Kohler like most of the Mojave's came with. I think A.P.E. experimented with a variety of setups during their production years. I've seen them with the...

    Dunecycle story and info request

    Hello all. 1st post and new to the forum. I purchased my first Dunecycle about 36 years ago as a young teenager for $350.00 from an area used m/c dealer and salvage yard. It was the coolest thing I'd ever laid eyes on. Long story, but it got away from me while I was in the USMC back in around...
