#ProjectDeathMower

[CountryRider]

Past couple of months been working on building a racing lawnmower primarily to enter in MudFest in August. Now it's turning into an all around sick shifter kart/lawnmower build. And I thought I'd make a post about it and have guys follow/put their input.

BUILD LIST
- 1 free 80's lawnflite steel lawnmower
- What originally started with an 08 gsxf 650 engine 80hp
-A now 05 gsxr 600 with programmer (supposedly 130hp)
-Various bought shifter kart parts
-Stock gearing of the bike 13T/43T And 16" Tires (Should do 140mph)
-13T/33T And 16" tires should hopefully get me 160mph

And here we go...

2x 6" x 8.5" VANK rims
2x 8" x 10" VANK rims
ARC racing rack and pinion
BMI weld spindle kit
BMI 44" axle
BMI HUBS

Jigging up motor craddle and positioning fender/hood/grille placement. Just getting an idea on general width vs length.

No way I'd be caught running 140 anything on that... way cool project but 130 plus hp and a 140 mph on a lawnmower.
Id pay good money to see that thing go, I'm jealous and scared at the same time...cool��

But is it still gonna cut the lawn? Only then will I be impressed.








All kidding aside i was hoping to see a finished product, now I'm inpatient to see how it turns out and runs, I'd want to try it out! Maybe not 140 though lol.
