Bighead back. ACDC bar stool racer build.

[bighead]

It will be alot easier to back up, with the axle further back.
but with that and the seat at the back you will have very little tongue weight.

All the way back it is. (I think) Will be nice to tilt up and roll on the wheels for storage against walls. I like the forward look better though.

I got my wing mounted today. Waiting on parts now.

 

[bighead]

Nay our yay on the side pods?

I cut the bad part off. Idk. Some angles it look ok.

Or matching nerfbars like on the barstool racer?

 

[2SlickNick]

Nay...

 

[landuse]

I say nay too

 

[chancer]

Nay.
I know we sound like a bunch of Horses.
I vote Matching nerf bars.

 

[bighead]

Thanks guy. That why I ask.

 

[bighead]

Another yay or nay on the race kart seat?

I also have plan B for the side pods. Gonna cut them in half and use them for side scoops on the side. Much thinner side pinks wrapping the tire some. i need my wheels and tires first. I think cut down side scoops will look sick with this seat. Notice line down the pod?

Handlebar grips on each side for rider to hold on to.

Enjoy.

The seat looks cool. Yay

 

[bighead]

The seat looks cool. Yay

Takes up lots of room compared to flat seat back and bottom. I am looking more for looks than functionality so to speak.

Although I think the matching seat patch on the back seat would look cool with much more room .

Gearing question.

13 tooth with 64 tooth sprocket. 11" tires.

What ratio ?

I went from 12 tooth clutch to 13 tooth thinking I wouldhave better low end? Did I go tre wrong way? Gearing has always confused me.

 

[ultralight01]

What the heck! I just came back to this thread. The first time you just had the plain shopping cart, and I was like; "Uh... Wha?" But now that's looking kinda cool! Seems really awkward, but cool!

 

[chancer]

You went the wrong way. 13t clutch is 4.9:1
and 12t clutch is 5.33:1

The higher the number the better low end.

Yay on the seat. At least if your are the one stuck in the back and just along for the ride, scared out of your mind... You will be comfy!

Can I go bigger rear sprocket to get better bottom end. I don't care about speed. Maybe 25 is fine. I got 64 tooth now. Can I go up a few to say 66? What ratio would that be? Is thier a calculator I can use?

Thanks.

 

[chancer]

Oh yeah man There is the DIY Calc. http://www.diygokarts.com/speed-calculator.html

Or just 64/13=4.92 and 64/12=5.33

Just play with the numbers. You are looking for a higher number to get more top end.

So a 72tooth /12 = 6:1 But remember those axle sprockets get big and you have little race tires.
leesiel just posted this 10 tooth #35 clutch. That would give you 6.3:1

Thanks Chancer

so not giving up on side panels yet. I decided to c it them down some. Still not happy with the look. To long..... I am going to cut them in half abouts to shorten them. Then cut so fit tires. Just maybe then I will get that side scoop look I am looking for. Got my wheels and hubs today. Used the dirt track tires i already had.

if not revert back to matching nerfbars.

Also not gonna use the race seat. Just bench style with matching seat logos. Race seat is dirty rough looking. Takes from the new look.

 

[bighead]

What about the side pods now? Yay or nay? Or shorten then 5"?

Thanks

 

[Daniel Sheffield]

If I use the pods which are now side scoops.. they will be painted black. I may shorten them still for not do long. Idk.

 

[bighead]

Got the lincense plate mounted. Mock up of side scoops. Axle mounted.

What patch for seat back looks best? Matching like the front has. Or a let there e rock patch

Thanks

 

[chancer]

I heard a rumor....
Axel Rose was going to be filling in on lead vocals for AC/DC!
Have you heard this?

 

[bigair49]

I herd that as well. I'm not sure if he's the right Guy for the job not to mention I also herd a rumor that Gun N Roses will touring this summer. Interesting given Axles past.

Bighead I think the side pods will work nice shortened just a bit. I think the matching patch would work better. Rock On!!
