The Purple People Eater

[GalacticalManiac]

Hi All. First post after long time lurker. Also, just starting a build. I wanted to say hello and outline my goals which I will do later today. For now I leave you with this... here is what I am starting from.

More to come!

P.S. I know it's not purple.... yet.

Welcome to the forum. That is a killer kart. I love the fuel tank and twin exhausts. Does the engine run well?

Thanks! Really appreciate it. I got what you see there on CL for 200 bucks. I bought it without even seeing it run, but everything seemed OK. Had compression and no leaks. I brought it home and slapped some jumper cables on it and added a little more fresh oil. A few sprays of starting fluid later, boom. Engine running. It's a Honda CB 350 twin engine. I have bigger plans for it. More pics to come.

Hey GalacticalManiac, do you plan on adding suspension, because having that much speed and power, with those v treads are going to create one m'fn bumpy ride.
