My first cart

Lumpy · 08-31-2011, 04:54 PM

Its a 1984 Yamaha G1. Its nothing special I know but it serves its purpose. I bought it for use while camping at motorcycle rallies. I had to work through a couple bugs but it is a good running cart. Sure wish it looked as good in person as it does in this picture.

Does screwing a set of lights to the top of the front cowling count as modifying it?

The old Beast looks good lumpy..... She ain't fancy but she's clean and runs good = that's okay in my book

Looks great bro. Only downfall I see is there are no back rest on the seats. Yes anytime you alter anything, it's called a mod. The original item has been modified with headlights.

I like that color a lot. What do you have planned for it?

I was really pinched for time when I made the seat (there were no seats on it when I got it) so I just made a basic bench seat. A seat back is in my future plans as well as a basic bench seat on the back of the cart.

The other thing I want to add is a small amp and a set of speakers so I can plug in my MP3 player and have a little music.

On a more practical note, I need to check the brakes and get some tires for it (mine are really weather checked).

2 things. Check my build for a great mini amp solution with speakers and iPod/iPhone hook up. Second check trade mark carts out. They have great deals on wheels and tires with free shipping.
