Default The wait is over.The "REAL" GSX-R Kart is done

Well its has been a long drawn out process,but I must say it was very much worth the wait.Im still in Puss mode so vids will follow (After I get out of Puss mode)The golf kart swap had nothing on this.It is geared perfect for the tire height,and the rides like a Cadillac over the bumpsHowever get it up in the rpm's and its like a hovercraft :-D

Big thanks to Garrett @ Oddball Turbo and Performance for making all this possible :beer:



This is how it started life.We called it the Kidney Killer (Due to its lack of suspension)







And here is the final product:

badass, but i would be worried if it is wide enough. When I was a kid I rolled my uncles go kart and it was had around same size rear tires but they sat just outside of yours. Very cool none the less.

Its sick man, but im with 98roller, it doesnt look wide enough and kinda top heavy. I would try to make the wheel base a little wider. Most people put these motors on the race-karts and whatnot so idk how it would do on an "off-road" kart. As far as GSXR motor on a go-kart im planning something like that myself. ( Just picked up a wrecked 03' 1000 for little under 800 dollars with 8000 miles on the o.d.o should be pretty fun.

Looks like fun. I'd probably do something like that if/when I wreck my Gixxer. Is that a J-arm Banshee donor?
