A V twin would mean the kart doesn't need to be so wide...quote:Originally posted by Hillsy

So if yours is similar you don't need to bother with the pics (although I'd still like to see it).
One more thing. Are you running front brakes?
Yep, kinda similar mounting, have to say mine is a little rougher ,
about front brakes............ ummmm no. mine is a old kart and aint got em so i not interested in trying to fit em. spose ya could use quad front discs and callipers ? not sure diameter of the discs tho?. any ideas ?
V-Twin? What V-Twin?
well it thinks it's a V twin
There we go Large. rough hey ?
Yeah a little bit.
It looks like you've added a lot more metal than the Germans did on Gixxerkart. Is your motor much higher??
Thanks for the pics...Got one more pic of the whole kart so I can see how it looks?
Btw i bought another kart yesterday. Best ebay deal I've ever done[]
the motor is back outof it right now for seat relocation . I will get the seat sorted and then drop the engine back in. Wot did ya score off the the gay of e's?
The engine sits about 3/4 of a inch above the frame of that helps ?.
motor same angle as it would sit in a bike as you can tell by the writing on the sideplates.
chain will be SHORT
Is there a reason the motor couldn't sit down a bit more between the frame rails? are you off roading it?quote:Originally posted by Docktor

That chain will be about 32 links I reckon[]
I scored this from eGay-
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=110351775506
It didn't look like much in the ad but i've been learning from the master , so I took a punt on it and ended up with this-
Plus it came with 2 stands, a starting trolley, bead breaker, 3 exhausts, tacho, enough spare bearings, a sprocket and brake carriers to put a 40mm axle on the other kart, heaps of sprockets/chains/plugs/carb parts/tyres/wheels/cover and lots of weird little kart specific tools etc etc
plus about 30kg of ballast lead incase I'm not heavy enough
I just didnt want the engine resting on the rails is all. no offroad here. gives me a little room for oil changes and shit like that, have to extend the chassis about another foot so me head isnt sitting on the zorst pipes. back to the steel shop tomorrow for some round stock , either that or go pinch a shoppin trolley.
wot ya gunna do with the new kart ? , ya not thinkin of using that for ya bike engined kart ? excellent buy for 500 scheckels indeed. guess ya got plenty of lead to make some sinkers hey ?
Is that another foot on top of what you've already extended it?
New kart is way too good to chop up. I'm going to have a few runs in it at the local track.
Yep, gunna come in a pouch hair under 8 feet long.....................
dunno if its worth mentioning but wouldnt solid mounting the engine give excess vibration in the frame leading to failure?
IMHO could be worth getting some rubber mounts, i saw somewhere a while ago some dude made his own for a 1UZ soarer/crown/some other toyota/lexus
I thought about that, and then decided stuff it. it has the same rubber mounting it had in the bike so if its good enuf for the suzi gods its good enuf for me
How goes the kart building?
I recently bought a kart with the intent of "gixxerkarting". Already has a lil YZ125 engine in it.
