Awesome. Gonna boost it? Would be kind of pointless on a 400-500 pound frame. Hell, with 100hp to the wheels that thing would fly.

no boost..................yet. But like you said, it's light as hell . I carried the frame into the garage by myself tonight without having to drag it. I suspect that the finished project will be about 800lbs.

That is awsome, a friend of mine wants the old 12a twin-dizzy that I yanked out of my Rx-2 for his go cart. One gear and chain driven is the way to go.

**Update**



After 3 days and absurd amounts of beer, I have finished HAND sanding the rail. Weather permitting, i'll scuff it and paint it candy apple red tommorrow night.

My hands are raw now.....
