hey, how did they go about it? Got a link to the show or video on the build?
That would be a conversion I'd go for on a quad.

The thing rocks back and forth too much (front to back).  It would be better if they had moved the driver sprockets upward, and moved the support wheels farther apart.  The thing likes to "wheelie" too easy in both fwd and rev.
