New Kart Need ideas for accesories

[Bobby]

I'm building a Go-kart from (almost) scratch and am trying to think of accessories to add function and style.

It is a 11hp Clone engine, Yerf Dog frame, 20" tires, and homemade transmission.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

[Bobby]

It is going to be used for mainly on-road driving

Home made transmission sounds interesting; tell us more about it... Pics help too

In the lower right corner of your posts you will see an "edit" button; please use this as opposed to double posting

Have you thought about lights? maybe a cup holder? lol

 

[OzFab]

maybe a cup holder? lol

Seriously? lol

 

[Bobby]

yea i thought about lights. cup holder would be good cuz it's mainly for street use

 

[TripleT]

Cup holder is a great idea! That's what you pay for when you get anything with one lol.

 

[souperman000]

Seriously? lol

Of course! A cup holder always comes in handy.
Hey, he asked for accessory ideas didnt he?

Cup holder. Hmm. Weight. NOPE! Leisurely driving around with one hand on the wheel whilst sipping away at a crappacino which requires said cup holder. NOPE!

Accessory? 4 or 5 point racing harness to hold your whipping-around-bends-like-a-chicken-with-yer-@ss-on-fire-pulling-insane-g-forces-whilst-trying-not-to-black-out-@ss to the seat! Now THAT's an accessory!

*Disclamer- If you're stupid enough to be harnessed in to a speedy-@ss on-road kart, despite the fact that you have no roll cage, and the aforementioned g-forces band together with the tractive forces of your tires in a conspiracy to drop you on your head, you deserve exactly what's coming to you...

Well if that's the route you want to take (DON'T underestimate the value of a good cup holder sir), then what is required is a chrome skull with flaming red light up eyes.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Shows what you know- That's a reciever cover, not a cup holder!!!

 

[Mcbreja]

I was aware of that! I was thinking mounting that on the front of the kart to go with your death trap racing harness.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

hehehe... I like it! Okay, accessories- Military surplus ammo can toolbox/glove compartment/storage cubby!

If anything, you'll want an on-board battery... not to start your engine, or for lights, but to plug this into. Hahaha.

...and a cup holder to put it in!

 

[Doc Sprocket]

I give up!

You really want the cup holder in, don't you

 

[ArachnidBrosMN]

Not only is a 4-point harness support a great idea (thanks Toystory), and yes, you'll need that cup holder, but you may also want a cup-SUPPORTER.

A 4-point safety harness for the coffee cup? seriously off road
