Nacho Libre Kart/Trike~!~~~

[THE_REAL_RAT_FINK]

Ok you guys, I watched Nacho Libre yesterday and was laughing hysterically through the movie when all of a sudden I got very serious. THAT IS A SWEET TRIKE Jack Black rides! So my mind started wondering as to how I can build one, what parts are involved, and how much money is needed.

It must be Hecho en Mexico. Because I've never seen one before. Here are some pictures of it, that I found on this website. http://afu.com/trike.html

Has anyone thought of this before? Why not build the Nacho Libre Trike! That would be sweet~! All insight on a project like this would be appreciated.

It looks like a Briggs Animal engine, and a TAV2. I think its funny how the creator of that website goes on and on about how the chain doesn't even connect to the engine, when there is obviously a TAV.

Ya, that guys a moron. He thinks it's a fake and blah blah blah. He needs to stop crying about it and build it like a real man.

Its honda GX probably a 5.5 or a 6.5 horse, which is far too modern and expensive for stereotypical mexico, they would have used an old briggs flathead if they were smart.

That definitely isn't a Honda, the shroud is shaped wrong.

Point being a OHV industrial engine on a ghetto Mexican mini bike isnt right.

We should ship them out some clones. :arf:

Yeah... they're cheaper than flathead B/S motors... maybe a clone truly WOULD turn up on something like that?.....

Maybe, IDK whats popular in Mexico, never been there.

Lol, this will be a funny project. Maybe more of a dream than reality. Lol----Probably cheaper to build a race kart than put together this contraption.

It just looks like a modified bike frame, or like a hot-dog kart chassis. Gotta be pretty unstable. A friend threw a B/S 3hp on a "Little Old Lady's" trike/bicycle (20" wheels) and that has to be the scariest thing I've ridden. The frame flexed at speed (35mph), and it felt like you were trying to corner on a stepladder with caster wheels on the bottom.
