Looks excellent. What is that little tank next to the clutch cover with the blue elbow and filter for?

That cr pipe looks pretty big for a little 125. Are you going to have to put little wheels on the 500 pipe so it doesn't drag on the ground? lol

Great job! Looks like it's factory.

It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

That's just a simple "catch can/breather" for the crankcase vent hose. Per the rules you need catch cans for your fuel tank, coolant system, and your crankcase.

Well, the last phase is in the works ! I dropped the kart off at RPM Manufacturing sat to have the pipe fabricated. I had an awesome conversation with owner/legend Joe Pinsonnault  what an interesting and extremly talented guy ! We talked for almost an hour about 2 strokes and racing both now, and back in the day.  Showed me some of his custom KX/CR 500 open mod pipes, He showed me a raw Liger 600-somethingcc non p/v KX cylinder, holy shizz that bore was friggin' ginormous !!! really cool stuff !! Joe LOVED my "kartzilla" project. He calmly joked "ya better add some lead weight to them rear tires".  So Joe said about 2-3 weeks and he should have it finished.

Hell on wheels is what that is. Got into the shifter cart stuff a while ago but never anything like that. Looks like fun

I literally just got an update from Joe this weekend !  Should be finished in about another week. Here's the pipe thus far : Sorry this is taking so long, but the speed (or slowness) of the build is at this time in Joe's hands, so good things come to those who wait...
