He's a local guy (Winchester) I've talked to about building a Briggs flathead twin for my race mower, and he says at the max 5hp's get 30ish.
50hp from a 100lb motor ftw. |
Re: So you think your honda is fast?
haha damn i never really thought about it. i know its pretty high horsepower cuz the thing rips ridiculously fast but i never actually thought about it. ass dyno says close to 100 but my ass is retarted so flame on.

Re: So you think your honda is fast?

Re: So you think your honda is fast?
Looks like a fun toy. What's the weight difference between the cart and the motorcycle as it was?
|
Re: So you think your honda is fast?
Considering most karts are about 300lbs with driver, that is with a proper light driver (sub 150), so a typical kart is 150ish. They're light enough to pick up and move easily with 2 people. Add 75lbs for the bike motor and I'd say about 375-400lbs for a kart and small driver. What's a typical 600cc bike weigh with rider?

Re: So you think your honda is fast?
i think the 06 cbr 600 weighs like 5-600 iirc. the 07-08 1000's weigh less which makes no sense to me cuz there bigger in all aspects. but anyway it goes your gunna have some fun on that little Bitch.

Re: So you think your honda is fast?
Power to weight for the win >:D ----, my 300-400lb empty racing mower does 40mph with a stock 20hp opposed twin, it just takes a little bit to get up there. Shifter karts fly.

https://images.craigslist.org/010100...b40b00f0ca.jpg Once the "testing" is done (ie.. clutch drops, see whats breaking, see what needs improvment) then the motor goes into this chassis.. which has front brakes. everythign will be tig welded and cromoly tube. no shortcuts... Then the real fun begins... once its all built to perfection... Its difficult to cut up an expensive chassis, put the motor in, and be happy with the final result without having some knowledge first. I wont be going over 60mph with the "prototype" model anywas Hope you know what kind of pre-heat you need for your chromoly. I don't like hearing about people getting seriously hurt. Some guy lost his arm in a dragster because they didn't weld his roll cage together properly and it cracked right in the brittle haz. We had to study it in college and find the mode of failure. |
