More Weight savings showed up over the last couple of days..

Seats With NO bracket Yet..



My uber Secret Rear Brake upgrade With KARTBOY goodness.... -3.1 lbs per corner.. total -6.2 lbs off the rear. which will compensate for the Trailer hitch I am adding to tow a tire trailer..Can't wait to get all this going..





Coming together... Fighting weight should be around 2535lbs or so.. We'll see when I get it all together and get it on the scales..

Is it an optical illusion or are the back tires smaller than the front tires?

the front and rear tires are the same. its an optical illusion since the rear tires are placed a bit inner as compared to the fender. its not yet complete as i'm yet to put a spacer on the rear tires so it would look better.
