Hey guys, here's my entry for the build-off this year. Not a mini-bike by any means but I think it fits in the anything goes class. I'm realizing a dream a friend of mine used to have and eventually sold to me. He and his brother were going to build a go-kart using the front end, rear end from a Polaris 4 wheeler, and a 400 cc Yamaha motorcycle engine and transmission. They got started on it but lost interest and ended up cutting the frame apart and throwing it in the junk pile. I just happened to be walking around his place one day and saw the tires and asked what the deal was with them. He told me about the go-kart and after finding out they'd put the engine inside the shed, I struck a deal with him and if I remember right I got the whole works for $80. Including the wiring harness and lights from the bike as well as the speedo and tach assembly, front wheel and gas tank. I don't think I'll be sing the front wheel but I think I can use everything else from the bike to make the go-kart run and drive. I hope. Anyway, should be a fun unit when done and hopefully entering the build-off will give me the motivation I need to get it done. Already bought a new seat from Jegs and a pickup load of 14 guage pipe scrap from the local steel store. I think I'm at about $150 so far and I think I have all the big stuff. Just gotta put it all together.
