Keep posting up progress, looks fantastic fun.
Enjoy the ride then what section should I post up my project thread?

Here is what I mean by offset seating - this is a bit more extreme due to an inline 4 engine used:



Planning to end up with something close to this, although the engine will be probably about half the width lol

I guess it'd be like a mini-highside, so long as you don't get stuck in it. Looks scary though! Looking forward to seeing this vtwin project. It'll be quality.

There has already been one built - video is in one of my first posts, but thats the only video I have found of it, I do rather like the noise it makes! I like the scream of a 2 stroke, but that burble of a V twin sounds great, especially when its unsilenced

I think I might get the engine mounts from a wrecked frame, then I can attach that to the kart and bolt the engine into the OEM cradle - should also have a radiator mount then which sorts that issue out!
