Yamaha FZR 600 + Cushman =
Well, this will be my first post. Ill try an make it a good one. I just bought a 1993 Yamaha Genesis FZR 600 for 300 bucks. And i have this old (84?) Cushman golf cart. I am going to try and put that bike engine in it. ANY pointers would be great! I have a couple main questions. The bike is chain driven, so i plan to take the original shaft driven axle out of the golf cart and put in an axle out of a Go cart, four wheeler, 3 wheeler, what ever i can find that is chain drivin and a good width. The only problem with that is that the rims will be different, so the front an the back will not match, and i would like the original golf cart rims and tires to be on there. Also, how should i do the front end? I need good brakes for burnouts. Is there any kind of brake i can put on the original front end, or should i get the whole front end off of a 4 wheeler or somethin? What should i put in first... Motor or axle? I would say put motor in first.. get it in the center so its not off balance, an if my sprocket on the axle doesnt line up just bring it to a machine shop or something to have it moved? Let me know what you guys think. And be honest. I know its probably not the safest thing, i know its going to be difficult. Just let me know how to accomplish my goal!! Thanks.
