Homebuilt Kawasaki KZ-650 powered Gocart

This was a project for me to pass the time between my '57 Chevy Street/Strip car , my Rear wheel drive 350 Chevy powered Z-24 Cavalier, and my current '29 Chevy truck street rod with a blown and injected 350. For more info on the buildup and links to the rest of my projects go to: http://www.nitrostreet.com/gocart.html
I have since sold it to help finance my 29 Chevy truck project.

Nice build this.

Wish you had off made more videos through the build stages..

[nitrostreet]

@piddydog I wish so, too, but back when I shot those videos no one had heard of You Tube. After I sold it I had to go through the few videos I had shot to make this video, and it really doesn't do this cart justice, it was a lot wilder than these make it out to be.

how much did u sell it for?

[nitrostreet]

@gringo406 I got $4500 out of it which wasn't to bad; I spent 2 grand building it.

@nitrostreet thanks for the fast response! i am currently working on a dazon raider 150cc the motor doesn't work. i want to put a bigger motor into it. i want to keep up with a raptor 700 in the sand. how big of a motor should i put into it? is 1100cc to big or should i go with a 750 and is there any major adjustments i have to go through?

[nitrostreet]

@gringo406 I would go with as big as you can afford, a street bike motor won't have as much torque as a motor built for offroad so you want as many cubes as possible to make up for it in the bottom end, but once you get moving watch out!!

Mine needed even a little lower gear than I ended up with to help with bottom end, but it didn't have any problem running from 30 mph to 90 mph

@MrTechnoSavvy15 easy. a link bar for the shifter. cause gear seleciton only happens in 2 directions. noramlly up and down. but you cna rotate it so its forward and back too. and clutch is via cable so that can be done as ell

Nice looking buggy - you should check us out BuggyCountry . com

[MrTechnoSavvy15]

How do you install a clutch pedal and shifter to change gears

[ficusnipe]

WOW! Simply inspirational. That's a killer build which looks very solid but powerful! thanks for the encouragement through your project!

[svberry]

Man you did an awsome job.

[cacneaunit6]

is it needed to have gears if your building a go kart that will go good on short grass and up to 30kmh?

Nice work, very clean.
