Motorcycle Powered Kart: Father Daughter Project

Air Box

Degreased and cleaned.
Saturated the plastic with silicone. Buffed off an hour later.
Note to self: get some foam oil.
May end up using a pod.

If that CG clone is as well made as the one in the SkyTeam 'Ace' you will be very happy!
It looks pretty much identical, except for the capacity.

Honda CG125. A European Honda. If yours is 200cc, I'm guessing it's a clone of an ATC or CM. Most of the time, Honda parts fit right in.

And they handle as good as they look!

As Deviant said, the CG125 was sold as a learners bike in the UK and Europe, but they were originally designed as a low maintenance motor for SE Asia and South America (lots of hot-up parts still available from Brazil!).

This is my 'Ace' motor after the removal of the unnecessary 2kg of starter motor and before going to 150cc with oil cooler:

The speed holes were an impulse.

This thread may have just ruined my brain... worse. A big Grizzly 660 into a side by side or crawler... hmmm.

The Father Daughter/Son moto projects are always win win. Have a great time with this one.
 
Thanks again for all the supportive comments guys.

My daughter was feeling a little despondent, as she told all her friends at school what we were doing and they all pretty much called her a liar.

I took her through this build thread this morning before school, and well it pretty much made her day. Thanks, appreciated. :-)


Check out this chassis inspiration:

Tubular_01_zpscqpc43pm.jpg


Id love to go tubular, but it will just be so much easier to build this out of square tubing.
 
make sure you put a nice bumper on there just incase she sees any of those brats while she is riding around! ;D ;D
 
That tube chassis is sweet........go tube
just need a notcher and a bender (JD2)
 
Ha ha

Yeah, Round Tubing will be awesome.
Had a chat to my dad. Hes got a pipe bender and has offered to help out.
So I guess this is now gonna be "Dad, Grandpa, Daughter Project" :-)

Update with pics coming tomorrow!
