VTR-engined / buggy Crosskart

Post by Kristian Hesselmark »

if this is ok, I´ll make a thread about the build !

----------------------------------------------------------------

The chassies was located in the addic of a friends dads truckingcompany, it had been sitting there since new, 1992 - never used.

Engine was given to me for free as a friend crashed his bike with no Insurance.

So the choise was kinda easy !

My local motorcycle breakes has had a super discount offer, since August last year. with such low prices that it seems to be free.

brakecalipers 8 Pounds, shocks 8 Pounds, fueltanks 8 Pounds, rectifier 5 Pounds, frames 20 Pounds, etc etc
So i have been there about 50 times in the last 6 months hoardning parts :-)

Is that a Varadero engine?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Wing is a "styling" wing from a car, cut down 20cm, as it was way to wide.

look closely and you will see 5 rear lights. the 2 black ones are parkinglights (Always on). and the Three others are brakelights , all LEDs
