My entry. Race kart and TRX200sx barstool. The last 4 pics are my past builds. Going to be along those lines. Mocking up rack and pinion now.

Enjoy

Ah man I hope you don't finish this year, because I'll have to vote for yours instead of mine!

They look great though!

Started on motor mounts harvested from quad. Sleeved and plug welded. Will build top mounts once upper frame is mocked up. Going to set steering next. Used steering stem from bmx bike. Connected to karts shaft and yerfdog spiderbox rack and pinion.

Enjoy.

This is gonna be good!

Got bumper shortened. With karts bumper sticks out for foot and pedal room. With barstool not needed. Looks better tucked up to frame.

Had to redo steering. Had rack and pinion in backwards. Might have to use a steering wheel. The turning pull with bars is pretty long. Can a guy make spindle arms longer to make shorter pull? help!!!!!!

Need advice on my steering problem.

Also about my tie rod question in video below. I only have one rod end on each tie rod. So left and right hand does not matter correct? I really don’t want steering wheel. So if I lengthen the arm will it shorten my pull? Steering has always been proven with my Barstools. I want this solid.

Found these very small hard shell bags. Bagger look. Got Mt steering figured out.

Love the bagger look. This is going to be awesome.

Got the bags on tonight. Pretty simple anyway. Will build upper mounts later. Made the seat out of a bunch of scrap bends.

Enjoy.

More on my bottom mounts. Had to bolt on the top so I can get axle out.

 

[bighead]

Started upper cage today.

Looking sweet Bighead. I always like your builds!!

 

[Kansaskart]

Nice. Stiff competition, too. I'm gonna go drag one of the weeds to enter soon.

Time for update


Got lots little stuff done. Wireing was a snap. Only had to modify one battery cable. Laid into the Honda electrical box perfect. Hardest is uncut and out of the way. I thought it was going to be the hardest. Both wings in and parachute mock up. Video to come.

Enjoy

Foot or chain guard done. Lightning bolts down the nerfbar done.

Battery box and passing lights done. Wanted to put battery in side saddle. More hassle than it was worth. Almost done with fab. Adding third bearing and hanger on the axle to limit axle flex.
