Jase Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 i reckon set it up for the beach and see if you can aquaplane it across the waipu river to the cove, also rather than road bike engine a crf,rmz,klx 450 engine would suit as they are epicly smaller and lighter and easier to obtain than a cr500 2 smoke and easier to fit than a big bike engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 sweet, mint platform to start from. frame looks nice and straight also which is a bonus. grinder, beers and a engine and your away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escorto. Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 yea was thinking the same thing jase. ill have a look at the options. yep frame is mint. few dodgy welds on it from someone trying to mount engine. guy i bought it off said he was guna put a chainsaw motor on it. you can imagine what he said when i told him i was gonna use a 600cc motorbike engine. you forgot welder, E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 yup yup, you will also need to look at upgrading the shit out of those steering arms, heavier the engine the more stress on those cunts in bendy things weld that shit up! jeah!

Jase Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I has a o5 rmz 450 they put out between 46-49hp stock and lots of torque, my whole bike is less than 100kg, i think a modern 4 stroke would be the go keep the karts weight down and still have epic power to weight. i had a cbr600 was 100hp but engine would have been twice the weight if not more.
