Im guessing the thing taped to the cage is a solar panel. they look to be starting the kart with the external battery, so the solar panel prolly runs the light bar on the back. Again im just guessing, but thats what it looks like to me. i do see wires coming out of the bottom of the panel, thats...

Im gonna wait to build your design for when i get some new steel, welding on this old frame has almost been a nightmare but its coming together. and im going to brace the crap out of it.

Lol i dunno how good the work is, but i can guarantee its not gonna come apart very easy.

A couple more pictures of the rear end SEMI attached. Got more welding to do and some braces to put in, but at least i can roll it around now if i need to. Still gotta get the shaft pieced together so i can mach the motor up to get the motor mounts tacked in place.

Ok everyone i have some updated pictures with the rear end and the motor that is now out of the bike after a lot of work. So here they are... Still a bunch of work to be done, but this (as many of you know) is a process that cant be rushed.

I have a wood stove in the shop, and a fire place in the house. So i use mine to start fires to keep warm! :p

not to mention condensation would cause the frame to rust wouldnt it?

Ok South Kart thanks abunch!!

Yea i thought about that, but then ill have to find a smaller engine to put on it lol. Ill see what happens in the very near future. I might mount my 750 to it just for the heck of it and see how it rips. Does anyone know where to get wheels, slicks, axles, bearings and mounts for cheap? Im also...

Well i think i might have got lucky today even tho im going to have to do some heavy modification to get this frame to hold up. I was driving down the road, and saw this frame sitting behind a guys house offered him 20 bucks and drove off with the frame, here are some pictures, tell me what you...

I wont know for sure till i get it all apart. but i dont doubt that they are hard to find. It seems like everything is getting that way. Im still looking to find the right wiwring diagram just for the ignition but thats not going so well all ive found is for the lights and all. i also need to...

Badot Yea im not sure how hard it is to get out, never taken one out before. But im going to try it first just to see if i can do it T.E.D. Jordan Im glad you said something bout using the mounts off the cycle on the kart, i thought about doing this but didnt know if it was a good idea...

Mine is also an 83. I will be getting the VIN off of it today and seeing what i have for certain. When i got the bike, they told me they had just rebuilt the carbs and gave them good cleaning, but also said that they got in a hurry and pinched a couple fuel lines putting them back on. But it...

Well i got most all the bolts holding the motor in taken out, leaving a few in to hold it till im ready to take it out. i was told to just cut the frame apart with a saws all to make it easy to get the motor out, but i dont know where the wires are running so im going to save that as a last...

is the left rear tire on the wheel back wards? we use to ride quads thru town just to make the cops angry. but when one of my buddies came thru on his banshee the cop set out after him, not knowing the banshee had a big bore kit, was running on jet fuel and nitrous. needless to say the cop...

This is my thread, i only have pictures of the motor i will be using, but once i get started on the frame and mounts there will be plenty more pictures going up. http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15638

are you sure you cant drift with the live axle better since both wheels are spinning? i figured the diff would transfer power to the side with with the least amount of weight. but i could be wrong lol i havent been messing with karts for very long.

Yea i have a pipe bender so that part wont be a problem. Finding the right tubing to hold the stress of torque is what im looking into now. Any suggestions?

Thanks Badot ill try it in the morning and see what i get. Im curious to see what ill be putting on this Kart.

That looks a lot like the frame im looking for, i havent got a seat yet, and i am going to have the motor directly behind me, centered as much as possible for obvious reasons. i have a pipe bender and welder, so im not worried about that part. but im not sure what kind of HP that engine puts...
