EZGo ST350 Redux - shifter
I'm pretty sure everybody noticed that shift lever right in the middle of that custom dash....
Another little annoyance that I didn't like was that forward/reverser shift lever below and in front of the seat... I never did like that. So, I decided to change it! I ended up picking up this Kawasaki Mule shift lever from EBay for like $25...and a shifter cable for another $20. shifter1.jpeg I fabricated a mounting bracket out of 1" angle iron. And bolted the bracket to the frame. shifter-bracket-1.jpg shifter-bracket-2.jpg The shifter cable was routed under the body and secured to the frame. I did need to enlarge the hole that was in the frame a bit to route the cable through it, and lucky enough the cable length turned out to be just about perfect. I had to fabricate a shift bracket for the transmission side and I had already built the anti-twist lever that goes from the transmission to the engine cradle....just needed to add that part to bolt the cable in place. shifter-bracket-4.jpg shifter-bracket-5.jpg |

EZGo ST350 Redux - paint and finished project.
The cart is back at my ranch... and performing amazingly well. The cart has plenty of power to do chores around the ranch and the camo finish blends well when dad take it out to his hunting blind.
The ride is a whole different story. Before with the factory leaf springs and shocks the ride was was horrible... you'd feel every single bump and gopher hole you drove over. At times you'd think the suspension was ridged. Now the independent A-Arms and coils-overs on the rear absorb most of the bumps. Very, very happy with the outcome of the suspension. I also replaced the factory canopy mounting brackets with a custom roll-cage I built from 1-1-2" tubing. paint-1.jpg paint-2.jpg paint-3.jpg paint-4.jpg |

Re: EZGo ST350 Redux
What an awesome project! I have been wanting to do the exact same type of suspension set up. What coil over shocks did you go with and is there anything you would do differently?
