2016 - Barstool Racer Okie Style

[Joe-405]

Sweet!! I look forward to the vid.

I like the little reflectors that you stuck on the rear legs of the stool

Thanks, I also got a really nice led set of headlights and taillights from a bicycle. I used them on my shifter kart. Their not perfect but they do work pretty nicely. I need another set so I can have 2 of each front and rear and it would work perfectly. The beams are not wide enough for a kart using just one.

Let's see if you guys can see this video shall we ! And yeah it's freakin sweet to ride. Only issue is that the front tires don't like the ground. Hahaha

Haha, ummm not a longhorn. Lol

But a side note, I'm going to my dads on Thursday to actually ride it for more than a minute or so. I will get a good wheelie video and some finalized pics for the ole contest. Rode it the other day and it follows every crack so I gotta align it first. But it was well worth the wait to finish it right. Think I'm gonna build another one already !!!

And now presenting the final product for my favorite website on the whole inter web..........

(Yes I will get more on Thursday still!)

That's awesome! Great work man. I always wanted to make a barstool racer, but you just did it great!

Can't wait to see a video !

 

[Joe-405]

Gotta get the video to work but, gps speedo at 48mph with 3/4 throttle left. Rode it for awhile minus little tweaks here and there. It's all good..........

6.5 modded clone at about 5000rpm, tav2 knockoff and a 60 tooth rear sprocket. Engine will go a lot higher rpm. It needs proper alignment cause it got squirly quick at 45 plus. Lol

Dad riding a wheelie.............He isn't too computer useable. So I was taking the videos and pics.

 

[Joe-405]

got on a regular computer so here are the finalized pics as requested by many. And on one post. haha

 

[landuse]

That is just awesome! you have done an excellent job

 

[Poboy kartman]

I thought you said it was done.......I don't see any cup holder.....

Great job...

Ooooooh...

 

[Joe-405]

Ooooooh...

Only problem is that I think I used up all my diy stickers on other stuff ! Oopsey.

And after looking at it......... I found a new vw chrome exhaust tip that slipped right over the muffler so that helped the looks a lot. And I made a polished bracket for the tach. So did some little updates here lately to make things better. I am gonna get it out hopefully Saturday for cars and coffee car show if it doesn't rain. So I will get some updated pics hopefully with weather permitting.

Ok it was foggy and misting but here they are as we still went anyways. Always had a crowd around it so we called it a success. And I'm on my phone again so it only allows one at a time...........
