sandblaster:
Just out of curiosity, what ceramic bearings did you use?
I'd love to see the looks on peoples faces as the tri rigger blows past them :-D
Polar-Bus:
Wow that engine is a SNUG fit ! Especially the spark plug ! Who fabbed that pipe ? Thats a NICE job ! No problems with kick lever clearence ? I almost took on a Tecate 500 project before my kart, but finding clean Tecates for sale here in New England is tough. All the ones I looked at were clapped out POS
Foxx4Beaver:
Jesus...that thing is just bad ass!!!...awesome job,it looks like it came from the factory that way.By the pics,it looks like you decided to keep the thumb throttle?.
Brute:
I can't imagine what terror and s**t eating grin a person would have smacking the throttle on that!
