Default easiest way to make a hmt gixxer kart ?

im gettin somewhat serious about making a motorcycle powered go kart now that i have a welder and can fabricate ---- as nessisary. im not sure id want to attmept to build one from scratch though. anyone know how gay it would be to try and install one in a off road go kart with a blown motor if i can find one? or a speedkart chassis? probly whatever i can get my hands on cheapest

my backup plan is electric go kart like http://www.popularmechanics.com/home...p/4264026.html

I am going to start building my son's cart soon. He's already three so I need to get cracking. He is only getting a 5hp Honda motor that I already have.

I've got a Yamaha XS400 engine that I'm pulling inplace of a single 500. I've got everything besides the carbs.

What about a snowmobile engine? No trans to deal with, just your final gearbox.
