Ended up modding the Bullseye's wheels this week. Never have liked the height or the dumb pegs up front. I'll eventually get one of those fancy carts ya'll have, but this makes wheeling it around the patio much easier and moves it up a few inches. I kinda ruined any "through the yard" mobility I have, and it is destructive so there's no going back to stock.
A couple pictures first....
Isn't that camber sexy?
Unfortunately I can't give you a nice write up and parts list like we did with the 680. I was brainstorming ideas with a buddy of mine, and he ended up showing up one day with some parts for a 4 wheeled walker. He found it at Goodwill and paid like $3 for it. It started life something like this:
The adjustable bits happen to fit right into the stock legs. Pull the little plastic nubs off the front, slide the caster wheels in, rotate them so they're close to vertical, and drill new holes (I slide the shelf back in to hold them)
Back legs were more work - you'll actually need to hack the legs and remove the rear wheels. Then drill (step-bit helps) to get the shelf to fit into that part. Drill the legs at one of the 'adjustable' holes, drop a bolt through it, and you're done.
Not pretty or fancy by any means, but for literally $3 and some spare bolts I had laying around, it's better than stock. I might see if I can find a bender and get the rears to sit under it better, or with less camber at least. And I need to brace them a little better where they sleeve together - I'm thinking just something as simple as a hose clamp just steady it.
Can't strongly recommend you go try this, but it might at least give you some ideas.
