old bikes no papers....thinking!!??!!LOL

[skillzman1]

So I ...like most of us no doubt..have been looking for bikes to work on for awhile....always finding decent looking bikes ...but no paperwork...too bad...would be a nice project.
Then I stumbled onto this.....thoughts???

i like that cart. i'm actually thinking about converting mine to an e-bike and building an offroad buggy with the XS motor.

That is CRAZY! lol I have the same problem finding cheap bikes with a title....... It would be awesome to build a kart like that on the side. I bet it would FLY!!!

 

[volcomskater77]

mine was $150 with title. but the engine was seized. ya get wat you pay for

 

[sgrudier]

No title but a bill of sale and and old registration. Got the sucker fired off last night after sawing off the tractor exhaust and chasing down a wayward ground.

 

[skillzman1]

I've seen some really good looking rides local....no paperwork means you'll never get it on the road in NY...so its a parts bike...or find a titled frame for a donor.
But the cart idea looks like fun...I spent an hour watching youtube vids last night...hooliganism at its finest!!

I've thought about doing this several times but after reading about it and figuring out how much work, time, and money I'd end up having into it, I figured it would better to start with an engine I really want to use instead of just using what I can't find cheap.

So my ideas for this "go kart" kept ramping up until I was almost set on building one of these with an SV1000 engine: http://www.edge.au.com/The_Barracuda

Holy rear shocks!!!!!!

 

[skillzman1]

ummm...Travis ....thats insane!!..I'd be dangerous if I won the lottery!!LOL
I was thinking of buying one of those chinese knock off jobs...and putting a donor powerplant in it...strenghten it up here and there.....I saw this one new for under $2000

^^^^
that's more like what i'd build. my plan is to take a youth quad and stretch it, put in a suspension seat down low, and put the XS motor behind the seat in place of the original. then add a cage, for safety , of course.
i've got both donors. the XS of course and a 2006 Polaris Preditor 90. on the big side of the youth quads.

search youtube...the vids are crazy...I dare anyone to watch some of them and not giggle like a schoolgirl!

This is one of my favorites:

Euphoria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hardtailed77]

Someone please build one of these and bring it to Indiana so I can terrorize the local police!!! haha

 

[gentlemanjim]

Is there a hardtail kit available for it?

 

[skillzman1]

something about those shifter carts sitting 2" off the ground...and going 100+ just seems insane.

Its nice here in az you can file for an abandoned title on a bike that you dont have a title for makes things nice for when you come across a bike that you dont want to mess up cause it does not have a title

 

[skillzman1]

I heard yesterday that you can get a title for an old bike in NY...but its about $600...for that I can find a bike with a title already!!

 

[Travis]

I've used International Title before and it worked out fine. Cost about $165 if I remember correctly.
