KZ400 Shifter kart project

[Kaptain Krunch]

So i basically finished my mini dash, just need to add indicator lights, i also made a little panel for the high/low beams, the heated shifter grip, and key switch and push button, i also just about finished the shifter linkage. I only got pics of the dash, its all tig welded, diamond plate aluminum.

Ok so i got lots done, All i have left before testing is throttle and clutch linkage, which will be pretty quick once i get my cable in the mail. I will also have to rig a gas tank. I only hit one major wall, which was finding out that my master cylinder is shot. So im not sure what i'll do about that. Anyways, heres a buncha pictures i finally got a camera so you guys can actually tell what the hell is going on.

Also you can see in some of the pictures theres a new floor and the shop is a lot cleaner, we just put that floor in today and i've been cleaning the place up.

I promise i wont take this many pictures every time i do something new, just playin with the new camera.

Yea, wish i had that camera when i was takin pics for the governor linkage i got from you. That engine is still on my to do list, minibike sometime maybe?

lol nice car seat! and nice heated grip on the shifter lol

I tried to fit the car seat in there but it was just too wide and a little long, figure i'll stick it on a lawnmower.

By the way, the welds on the muffler look really ****ty, just couldnt lay a nice bead on stainless for some reason.

 

[freakboy]

that sucks man keep tryin at it lol is it roughed up?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Yea, i was using A welder i never used, with stainless wire for the first time. I should just tigged it. I'll just grind these welds, do it better next time.

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Oh yea, i also got a fire extinguisher for free that i might use as a gas tank, it had no pressure but its full of yellow powder, anyone know what i should do with all the powder? theres a lot of it.

Id just dump it in a garbage can/ in the woods....but don't breath it, it will burn your lungs.

The kart looks great. I cant wait to see her go
