Looks cool. I think I'd go fluorescent green...

yea i would love to do that kind of color but im mainly..wel lets be honest 100% illegal riding..around streets at night during the day, from place to place, kinda a city kid so no dirt trails or anything so im doing it all black to stay a little more unnoticed even though that gx wont help haha

Good luck! Best not use an exhaust system like mine! LOL

my next door neighbor just got their kid a little 70cc motor cycle and that thing is really quiet I wish I had that type of thing on my kart because then I would be driving it at night. That kart looks great .

Looks great in black - maybe black out the painted engine components too?

Do you happen to live in Houston? I remember seeing a similar kart on craigslist here.

You do know that you wont be able to stop the kart without stopping the engine, right? Just change your gear ratio & get a new clutch. It would be a PITA having to push start it.
