are you looking for something like this with pillow block bearings and gokart hubs?

?

What I was thinking was using two car axles shortened and welded together to allow me to use the existing bolt pattern to mount my wheels up.

Do you think this would be too heavy?

I'd purely be using it to give my boys a ride and to the park and back.
 
yes they would be way too heavy,now you can build this for like 300.00 if you dont have most of the parts.....

I've built 7 or 8 of them in the past and they hold up very well, the snowbird's here love them for going around the trailerparks and to the store.

but this is as close to what you want that I know of, but I did not build it

this thread makes me want to get a welding machine and move to a scrapyard.
 
DUDE!!! that things sick, nice job loco!!

you should make that thing a dragster! get a 600cc triple out of a snowmobile with a wheely bar, that would be sick!

Hey loco, a little off topic but what is a snowbird? we don't use that term here in OZ. :???: :D
Thanks mate!

Wishlist:
1. go to tech collage and learn how to use MIG/TIG.
2. Buy a welder.

WOW!!! 8)

That's the one..... any more pics/links to that thing?

I'm waiting on some pics/info on the rear axle assembly on this, ebay #200131026738.... just in case I want to motor it ;)
 
a snowbird is a seasonal resident or tourist...and since i can't think of anything else nice to say about 'em, i'll shut up :p

btw-imo, that chrome trike needs full skirts & a partial nacelle...old-school bonneville all the way :devilish: 8)
