A friend of mine and I have started a new project that should turn out to be a lot of fun. Though it not strictly mine im doing some work on it and helping rebuild the motor and some other bits and bobs and then get to have fun in it.
But anyway What We got is a Go kart race frame (marenelli???) and and a 88 kawasaki 750cc road bike and we're pretty much joining the two things together hopefully itll work out nice and dandy and we'll have one bloody quick go kart.
Plans at this stage is putting motor back together including reco'ing the head and redoing the shims (which im doing )
Lengthing the frame abotu 6 inches to fit motor
Mounting the bottom end in the frame and fitting the new rear axle and and bigger bearings
Then we'll work on hooking up the paddle shift setup he has planned and all other things like brakes and crap .
Best thing about this is someone has already started this project and the shaft driven bike has been converted to chain drive which will make it alot easier for us.
Other plans include some front headlights consisting of leds and a rear brake light also possibly a hectic race wing cut down to suit.
custom headers and exhaust system and custom intake setup for the quad carbies
Also as seen in pictures we toyed with another engine that looks like it would fit nicely but have decided the bike motor would be more enjoyable
Certainly shoudl make a good drift Kart
