As some of you know... I am amidst on a build of a very custom'd trike. The 'design' of it is common enough... but, being a "1-off maker/lover", I tend to go the 'alt' routes in upgrading my builds vs the common/simple way. Not sure what measurements are needed, but, my frontend is at a rake...

Ive seen afew questions about TC/CVT gears/gearing... now I have one... more than likely easier to answer. I have a 20 series TC that the driven rotates on a 3/4" JS. I am in search of a 3/4"ID, #35, 12T, C-type gear/sprocket(if there is such an animal). I can find em all day long w/ a 5/8" ID...

Past few, free, days that I had, in my down time, I refurbished a Comet 20 that a customer had given to me due to its condition and wanted to downgrade to a CClutch due to the kart being a dead axle and the engine he had... from an older/different kart, housed the ole rusted out TC. Both...

Pretty much the title says it all... Im comming to the finale of this business project... brakes, running cables and the sleeves are the 'main' items needed to finish. Im trying to stay under a 100$ self pay-out on this project (only spent 45$ outta my own pocket for it sofar... ALOTTA things...

I am building a motorized trike (drift trike) and have limited spacing for the axle sprocket. So to compensate for the gearing in the limited spacing, Im installing a JS. Ill be running #35 on a CC w/ a 4:1 (12T>36T>12T>16T) ratio... still gotta buy the axle gear. On 10"s run w/ a stock HF212...

I am in need of a majority rules opinion (kewlness factor... definitely not safety factor)... I have started a project of taking a racing kart (side mounted engine) and transforming it into 2 separate items of transporting a body. ORIGINALLY, I planned on making 2 trikes... one w/ and one w/out...

Ive been commissioned to getting a 40 series mounted/running on a HF301(8hp). He was running a 4.3:1 on 18"s and wondering why his CClutch was glowing red >.<... I informed him of gearing... he still looked confused (older gentleman)... so I told him, "In this case it's like starting off, from a...

I am starting a project of 2 trikes out of 1 kart, an engine powered one and a 'Pat n Charlie' (pedal) powered one. Im pretty confident bout everything cept I have NO idea what the angle of the neck(s) should be. Ive seen alotta mini trikes w/ a 45degree angle, but not sure if that is the angle...

Last-week, I started a CL ad for services of the nature of repairing/modifying/fabricating yard/go-karts. It has been 7 days, and have received 10 calls regarding 'info' of basic's and online purchases... 3 "postential"(given a shopping list w/ promises to call back) upgrades and a simple rim...

Cant seem to find the Kart ID page... Anyone know approx howmuch more than the 35$ it's 'valued' at?... (w/ a stock new HF212)

Last week a neighbor came by w/ this on the back of his truck. He explained that he had seen it on the side of the road in a trash pile, and bought it from the guy for 35$. :thumbsup: The frame seems straight and the wheels turned... so IMO it was a doable job. He asked me to do an engine swap...

Got another side job today... but dont know what to label the work order model as... pretty sure its a Manco, but is it a 'Dingo' or am I totally off w/ it being a Manco. It has frontend springs like one. I know the steering and peddles show Manco... but those are interchangeable parts. I wasnt...

I caught a glimps of a possible 'visual' upgrade... but trying to figure easily formable material and a way to afix said cap, to the rim... w/out it falling off. The style cap I was wanting to design, is called a 'half-moon' style. Some are domed surfaced, and some are slightly domed (either is...

Wife has a coworker that saw I was familiar around go/yard karts, so asked if Id be willing to get his neglected kart into working order for his son. He/his wife informed me that it's been driven by them in the past... but due to wear n tear and lack of maintenance, it became neglected and...

I have found myself, lately, of picking up 'other' ppls kart to fix em for them, and have found myself in a conundrum as to the pricing of certain 'repair' type job(s). So here is my question... For those that do 'this' sorta thing on a norm/professionally, I would like a 'roundabouts' listing...

Today I went to a guys place that had a mini-bike for sale on CL for 200$. I gave him a call and he informed me that it was sold. This guy 2 weeks ago sold a Dingo (restored) for 300$:mad2:... so I kept his # cause he repairs/fixes mini-bikes and go-karts for what seems to be a hobby. On the...

Yes, it's time to start 'creating' another junk kart master-piece...:wai: Due to the 'mental' issues I am having w/ Lo-T... I have decided to 'scrap/part' her out. She was an awesome build... but, like many, I believe I over stepped the boundaries of her, but, she was an inspiration to MANY to...

As most of you know... the US (for the most part) has/is feeling the effects of winter (some more than others). Past few days we're hitting highs of maybe 50*(got down to 17* the other night). I had plans on doing this project when it gradually got cooler... but gradual doesnt seem to be in...
