Default Barstool Racer

ive still got a ways to go on it, but i have been putting some hours on it tearing up the neighborhood it needs some finish welding and grinding, 5 min to rework a steering part, finish the gas tank and finish up the matching waggon to tow behind it, and last but not least paint!

which brings me here to ask ya guys, any color ideas?

im thinking of a ford blue, orrrr a john deere green chassis and the barstool be the deere yellow. im kinda leaning towards the deere colors. the seat on it now may or may not change im still un decided on that.

heres a picture of it from a week or two ago.

Badass dude! I love pretty much anything with a motor that i can get stupid on. I might have to build me one of these next winter. I see these for sale alot of craigslist, expensive as hell. I cant imagine it would a whole lot to build one. They are usually selling for around 1200 beans.

got around 2g's in mine..... of course i used nice new kart parts. engine was 350, the belt drive was 250, the kart brake kit was another 200 ish. it adds up. but i always get comments on it from the locals.

even going down the highways with it in the truck people will merge from the number 1 lanes to the number 5 slow lane just to get a better look then pass me with a thumbs up and a grin.


what can i say it was my splurge project. and i love it.

mine does 30. and i got plenty of room to gear it up faster. it has good low end so i can gear it up, but its a wild ride at the speeds it does now. geared good for general neighborhood romping, chase cars, dough nuts in the grass and dirt, wheelies, riding on 2 left or right tires, etc.

i have a video i did but it will not upload from any of my computers to the internet.

30mph on a damn barstool? That's the most top heavy thing in the whole world. Ballsy I must say.
