You could have made a canister muffler like they do for snowmobiles. Could have had the exhaust come out the side and go up like a tractor at a tractor pull. And then add one of those propane flame thrower kits for exhausts. That would be one hell of a lawn mower!
When I was 12 I found an old moped for $30 at a garage sale. I talked my mom into letting me buy it and that started my family on our "biker" journey. Dad ended up on a Harley, I ended up on a CB500 chopper, and mom tried to ride a CL350. But, a week after I brought home that old moped, dad had a shiny used GS450 sitting in the driveway. He didn't have it long before he upgraded to a GS650. But, he always said how that 450 was the prettiest "rice burner" he ever owned (It was the '90s). To this day, I still have the old man's Harley and the CL350 that was originally bought for my mom.
Ayyy the cb500 i love that bike that was my buddys first ever bike. his dad rode and built harleys in the army during vietnam. He ended up selling it to a young kid and him and his dad ended up completely decking out the bike. They would send my buddy updates whenever they did something big like paint or chrome. Turned out to be a very nice motorcycle.
I was given a cb750 chopper. Laced wheels 4" over fork z bars... I unloaded it at a buddies place and a hr later someone asked if I would take $1500. I kinda regret selling it
This is one of my favorite projects of yours. It looks mean, sounds mean, and runs good enough for now. Yall can always make it faster. Job well done team!

I even watch the painting in this and I'm glad cuz I was thinking patina right off the back cuz of how the rear fenders and hood look on this cart I'm glad you kept a classic looking like a classic.
In the early ‘60’s I raced go karts. We ran McCulloch engines. We had about a 3” tall velocity stack on the carburetor. We used a patch cut from one of my mothers nylon stocking over the velocity stack held on with rubber bands. It was our homemade air cleaner. Worked great. We financed our race team with a paper route and taking empty soda bottles back to stores for the deposit. It’s amazing what a couple 12 year olds can do when they put their minds to it.
I have owned a 1980 GS 450s since 1980 and am in the process of bringing it back to life. I don't know why yours has only 1 carburetor. Did I miss an episode? Anyway, I love all your episodes and enjoy your creativity.
@@oikkuoek I'm betting he was staying pretty low in the rpm range of that thing, might not have a lot more MPH in it but I bet it could get there a lot quicker revving the gears out farther
@@Greg1096 they're geared way too low, dropping to a smaller sprocket would easily net them a lot more mph, and I bet they'd dip into the 9s or 8s in the 1/8. That tire is so small compared to what it was pushing on a bike.
@@Greg1096 The pass was on full blast. It won't rev any higher unless the pod filter is changed to a free flowing airbox. Even then the single carb setup restricts the airflow significantly. And that "muffler".. No hope getting past 8K.
Gentlemen, this is by far the coolest looking build yet and I love that you used an old and overlooked bike's motor for power. All those twins and small 4s were amazing in their own right. Charles works his ass off as usual, I hope you really love what you're doing and realize the opportunity that you have here is something most of us will never get.
Well, there’s one thing that I keep thinking about and have been for a few years. About 15 years ago my father bought an 80’s Suzukis gs 650 from a neighbor (they called it a “low slinger” and I think that was just an random term for them). What I find perplexing is that it had four spark plugs like a 4 cylinder, and the biggest thing was there was no chain or belt, it was shaft driven. Might not have been the fastest flat out but the torque and acceleration was incredible for what it was
I'm very glad that y'all clear coated the original paint. Looks really great! That was a great run for the "lawnmower". Looking forward to whatever y'all are doing with the rail.
I love the fact that you guys are building another racing tractor. Ive been waiting for this whole build for a long time. Ike please this time don't wreck it. Be safe everyone.
Great choice to clear coat. To stop the paint on paint action on the opening hood. Stick 2 washers inside between the 2 painted surfaces each side, then the washers will rotate on each other and give you a tolerance clearance on the painted surfaces.....
dammit, I commented WAY(inserted at the end) before the end of the video. . . on point with the original patina! LOL with the RH sticker! And, I want to know what the heck the project is when you are putting the exhaust together. Man, I commented WAY too early, lol. What a beast on the strip! How do I get to work for you guys????
Is the silver go kart on the rack in the background from the little rascals movie from the 90s? The one with the spikes that tried to take out spanky and alfalfa in the race.
Only concern I’d have is the cylinders fighting each other and wiping the lobes off the cam. I did that when trying to build a manifold for a 454 big block
Man, that lawn tractor leaves the line like a Super Mod! A few more teeth up on the gearing, and it will be in the 7's or 8's easily! Seems it goes pretty straight as well. Nice work you guys!😄👍
This build is pretty sweet! When this motor goes, I think you should put a bigger one on it though! I would love to see if this thing with a Hayabusa motor on it. Great video though guys.👍🏼🤩🫡❤️
Tech tip on ur sock filter. Some window screen over throttle body intake before covering with socket will also help. Honda did that on alot of there old school bikes between air box and carburetors
I’m not sure why you didn’t put the stock motorcycle sprockets on the lawn mower ? Snail TV has a water cooled Hayabusa engine on a go kart frame w/ turbo and NOS claiming 400 HP.

I've used Harry's for awhile, very satisfied with the quality, and they're reasonably priced too!

Awesome man. Ride on
Hell yeah man!! I got my dad's Electra glide when he got a trike. Stay safe brother
Great story, told very well.

As somebody that currently has a Suzuki gs650g I'm very excited about this video
This is definitely one of my favorite builds you guys have ever done, so glad you kept the patina!!
I actually enjoy y’all ads only ad I watch all the way thru 10/10
Happy to be comment 300 !!!!!
Great build liking the 450 🔥🔥
Love that you cleared over the OG finish.
This build turned out SWEET! Can't wait to take it on a circuit track!

Looks like Ike Got Hungry after Building That Muffler
Where is y’all’s shop located? Love the content!
So, the cheap sprockets, where from? Lol
I love the drag racing!
Oh man, that sounds awesome when he stomped on it that first time.

Charles' vision is always so clear.
Loved that plug Ike!
We were just thinking of a two into one comings out the front side like a tractor. Could be the farmer in my head. Central California watching

Yeah, I worked at a Suzuki shop in 1980, and confirm: they had two carbs. Don’t recognize this setup at all.
I lile how you guys just went and made a sick muffler set up looks awsome
Thanks y’all!! Great vid Guys!! 👊👊✌️🤙
Much love fromKY! Been waiting a min for the rail to return.
If you'd drop the rear sprocket size to around 30, you could start with 1st and pull gears all the way down the track.
I was thinking 49 or 42, but you're correct.
@@thunderpants645 40 is still a bit much for that rear tyre, but not that far off. somewhere between 40 and 30 would be the sweet spot.
@@oikkuoek I'm betting he was staying pretty low in the rpm range of that thing, might not have a lot more MPH in it but I bet it could get there a lot quicker revving the gears out farther

Lol love the muffler holes boys improvise to get the goal achieved love watching you guys do your thing 🥰🥰🥰
Nice job guys 👍
It sounded great going down the track!
I've just started watching in about the last 5 or 6 episodes. You three are nuts and it's awesome.
the footage from Isaac's helmet was amazing, shows its a lot faster in person than it looks from the stands, love'n the build
Love that mower!!! I live close to piedmont dragway Maybe I'll see you there someday
Now add twin vertical chrome stacks with tractor style flaps on top
Great choice keeping the patina!
The mower is infinitely cooler than the rail cars! Awesome video

Excellent lawn care.
Two thumbs up for Charles making the stickers symmetrical on the body. This type of quality control separates us from the rest of the animals.

Actually those were damn sweet bikes.
Only John would consider painting that aged tinwork bright blue 😅😅
I say keep that sweet patinaa!

@@MayheM_72facts
patina is best
Hit it with clear
It's so exciting to see yall back at the drag strip
th-cam.com/video/Obv2R_dNvRg/w-d-xo.html
That steering linkage is genius.
I'm very glad that y'all clear coated the original paint. Looks really great! That was a great run for the "lawnmower". Looking forward to whatever y'all are doing with the rail.
I got scared when they were talking about sanding and painting
I would love to see you guys put one of those chutes runners use to train on the back of that thing. That would put it over the top.
I was questioning the gloss clear coat until you got it on the lawn mower it looks pretty good
This has to be one of my favorite builds. Second to the Ducarti!
For some reason this build really tickles my fancy! I really want to build one now! Awesome content for sure gentlemen!
The clear coat patina paint job was the right choice for the build looks awesome keep up the good work guys 👍
Like I said previously.... One of the coolest things that y'all have ever built and it officially halls butt to boot!
I love that you guys kept the patina on the hood and fenders and just clear Coated it you did a fan service! ✌️❤️🙏
Great vid! I hope that the new rail content you guys have coming up is for the Dirt rail! I can't wait to see more of it!
Great job guys on the Zero Turn. The paint and graphics look great
That exaust worked 10000x better than i thought it would!! Thats awesome!!
Absolutely freaking love great job guys
I love the fact that you guys are building another racing tractor. Ive been waiting for this whole build for a long time. Ike please this time don't wreck it. Be safe everyone.
So happy you decided to keep the rusted look!
First ever lawnmower on the strip that's a trophy 🏆
Exhausts should go straight up through the hood with rain flaps on the top 👍
Love the patina look 👌 Awesome build guys 👍✌️
th-cam.com/video/Obv2R_dNvRg/w-d-xo.html
Great choice to clear coat. To stop the paint on paint action on the opening hood. Stick 2 washers inside between the 2 painted surfaces each side, then the washers will rotate on each other and give you a tolerance clearance on the painted surfaces.....
Absolutely dig the rat rod paint scheme 👍 🏁
Can you make a full tutorial on how to build a gocart from scratch? etc. chassis design, steering, brakes, attachments for wheels.
It turned out better than I thought it would but that steering linkage is….. unique for lack of a better word. But it works.
How about the exhaust coming up with glass packs and tractor flaps?
great stuff guys thanks
I love this build. I think it should be called the Drag Rat.
Killing it
Very clean build guys. 👌
That thing looks like a bad mama jama. Really came out looking great with the clear coat paint job.
The lead in to the Harry's ad was hilarious! The build is awesome! I love watching this channel!
dammit, I commented WAY(inserted at the end) before the end of the video. . . on point with the original patina! LOL with the RH sticker! And, I want to know what the heck the project is when you are putting the exhaust together. Man, I commented WAY too early, lol. What a beast on the strip! How do I get to work for you guys????
Definitely one of your coolest builds! 👌👌
Pro tip: when cutting radii (on your sticker) use nail scissors. They make a smooth radii!
Is the silver go kart on the rack in the background from the little rascals movie from the 90s? The one with the spikes that tried to take out spanky and alfalfa in the race.
So glad yall kept the patina.
Great video guys! That mower done pretty great!
needs a taller final for sure. Bet that thing could easily do 70+ in the 1/8th. I love the look of this thing
yall inspire shear Tomfoolery. busted out my near mint yz 50 bought new in 1979.... im 53 and looked the fool on it for sure, but it still rips!!!
23:10 Omg is the v twin dragster coming back.
Do you have one of those old 670 mufflers you can modify one of those and put it on and it should work just put larger inlets and larger outlet
The torque steer in the rear is hysterical. Kicks sideways on every shift!!!
Jeremy’s razors is where it’s at!!
Only concern I’d have is the cylinders fighting each other and wiping the lobes off the cam. I did that when trying to build a manifold for a 454 big block
Holy crap, didn’t know that could happen!
@@SchoolforHackers yeah it can get costly
Gonna need a lawn mower ornament to go with my dragster ornaments.
To quiet down that exhaust even further could've put some fibreglass packing that muffler with a mesh screen so it doesn't get blown out
man that turned out epic! im glad you decided to just clear coat that great old paint, it looks seriously good.
Great stuff as always, love the mower
Thank the Lord you left that patina finish. Looks tuff.
Great choice to keep the patina on all the tinwork. It keeps that Rat Rod vibe!
Ok y'all guys are awesome like I said before thought racing lawnmower wouldn't be fun , but these videos are fun to watch.
Man, that lawn tractor leaves the line like a Super Mod! A few more teeth up on the gearing, and it will be in the 7's or 8's easily! Seems it goes pretty straight as well. Nice work you guys!😄👍
great build fellas
I've been watching since the beginning. I would say, y'all need a deal with (someone like) Netflix... for real. Keep the AMAZING content coming boys!!
I cant believe none of you considered chrome "stacks"! Just make em slip-fit, so you can remove em to open the hood!
This build is pretty sweet! When this motor goes, I think you should put a bigger one on it though! I would love to see if this thing with a Hayabusa motor on it. Great video though guys.👍🏼🤩🫡❤️
Well done guys that is a truly bad ass lawn mower. I love this channel seeing how you guys build things that make history. Keep up the great work
Tech tip on ur sock filter. Some window screen over throttle body intake before covering with socket will also help. Honda did that on alot of there old school bikes between air box and carburetors
Love the build and the vids guys keep it up!
th-cam.com/video/Obv2R_dNvRg/w-d-xo.html
John it needs 400 cc stickers for the tops of the fenders
Ideal color choices.
You guys done a pretty good job on this one, actually looks pretty good too 👍
Always enjoy watching Rick Moranis and Owen Wilson in the same shop.
That is the coolest lawnmower i have ever seen
Awesome build looking forward to the return of the rail
I’m not sure why you didn’t put the stock motorcycle sprockets on the lawn mower ? Snail TV has a water cooled Hayabusa engine on a go kart frame w/ turbo and NOS claiming 400 HP.
A Lawnmower doing 53 mph🤣. This Old Man from Washington NC enjoying what y'all dream up ❤️. Always looking forward to Wednesday and your videos. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
