  1. a cbr, a go kart frame from hell, and A some creative thinking

    Good luck

  2. If you are asking this question you probably don’t have the mechanical ability to handle this conversion but if you go out on you tube there is a guy that put a Bussa or a GSXR engine on a go cart and it is pretty fast needless to say.

  3. ….your asking about chain/axil setups and yet your going to build the chassis!…….
    forget designing the chassis,buy one with a fecked engine.common sence and a bit of sniffing round on the net at pics of the rear of quads and youll soon see how they work…wort bit will be bracketing the engine in place but as youve a bike just cut them off there….once you getinto it its not that hard…ive done a few..

  4. All you need is a big pile of money and you can watch it turn into a small pile of money,
    It happens to racers all the time.
    However, if you know a bunch of bike mechanics, welders and fabricators. you will have a kick azz ride. or fast line to the emergency room.

  5. Talent/skill
