421stroker Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 It's going to use a cbr600 engine. and have banshee front and rear suspension. I'm trying to decide on whether to make it a single or double seater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Interesting. I've pondered that before myself...using shee a-arms & shocks up front, and attaching the frame of the banshee with motor & rear swingarm right behind the go-kart's seat. Would take some fabbing & with a shee motor you'd have to figure out where you wanted to mount the radiator. Would be cool, if ya go through with it keep us posted.

421stroker Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 The radiator is right behind the seat. I am using the cbr engine because they seem to be more available than most street bike engines, puts out like 85 ponies stock, and no need to deal with 2-stroke expansion chambers. I want a lot of hp without modding the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignasty1 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 i would put radiator up front with a gril on it. that way you got a decent amount of water flowin threw it to keep it cool. and theres no compromise on he air hitting it. and that would alow you to run it as a 2 seater. which is the way i would go. i am really thinking about doing a project like this. i have a suzuki aircooled 4 cyl 750. it runs it just needs a new home. i think this will be the way i go when it comes to putting the motor some where.
