Andrew
McWilliams's Honda TRX90 ATV
This is Andrew's customized
'07 TRX 90EX. Andrew was born in 2004
with a
condition called 'Ulna Dysplasia'.
Long story short, he was born without
elbows, 1 finger on his right hand,
and two fingers on his left hand.
Andrew had a strong desire to ride
so I submitted a thread (here on
atvriders.com) as a brainstorming
session on how we could make Andrew's
newly acquired quad (it was his brothers
old quad) fitted so that he could
ride it. Dave Carter from DC Motorsports
stepped up and offered to do
whatever it took to get the quad modified
so Andrew could ride it. Dave
re-designed the entire throttle assembly
so that it could be operated by
Andrews left foot. He also modified
the nerf bars, foot pegs and brake
assembly so that it could all be controlled
by Andrews feet.
Once the
throttle and brakes were complete,
Kenny Vaughn from K-Fab Designs made
a
custom set of handlebars so Andrew
could control the quad easier. The
bars
sit back 4", lowered 1"
and are 2" narrower than the
stock setup. He was
now able to accelerate, stop and steer
the quad on his own after the
modifications. Marc from Fox suspension
caught word of Andrew's build and
wanted to help as well. Marc sent
a full set of Fox Shox air shocks
for
the quad which added about 2"
more travel over the stock suspension.
I can't thank these
people enough as well as all of the
other atvriders.com members who offered
their help and ideas as well as the
thanking the website itself, because
without atvriders.com, none of this
would have been possible. THANK YOU
to EVERYONE! And thank you for the
votes!
