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!
a little filming Trick , @ around -ish @--4:51-- through @--5:43-- = To Remove Unwanted Glare use Side Shades on Camera to Block Backlight , as That is What is Causing That , reflective light From Behind the Camera = Or Just Off The Side of Facing Front Lens , Usually a Simple Piece of Cardboard Will Suffice enough till you find Something More Permanent = Hope This Helps = Also Works in Low Lit Areas / Conditions ! which May Consist of Placing Such Further Out From Camera / Lens 1- , but a Close enough blockade Just Out of Site of Forward facing Lens Can Have a Great Affect of Stopping Film Glare , or more so Lens Glare .
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.
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 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.
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
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.
A cheap pair of GPS front calipers and rotors with a hand controlled valve would be the cheapest,easiest line lok,and make for spectacular burnouts out of the water box,plus help alleviate any chance of creeping due to under adjusted clutch cables,PLUS it will slow you down at minimum 50% quicker.. Add 1 more tooth to the front sprocket at a time,slot, and make the chain guard adjustable,and then after 2 or more front teeth increases, go to lowering the rear tooth count until you get the bestestestests gear ratio for that 1/8th mile run.. or for a GPS highway run over say 1320' down at Ikes river place.. js...
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.
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.
Who's the new guy? Not watched you guys since you built the little red wagon and cut the roof off that old truck, yet today you popped up on my feed, gald your still rolling, and have a huge shed compared to your Pops awesome garage.
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.
John needs to triple stack 3 Mazda rotary engines into that Opal,with a 5 or 6 speed manual tranny and a BMW irs rear setup,with modern struts all the way around,quick ratio steering,4 wheel discs,etc. And leave the salvage yard look to the body to throw off any potential cash donors,aka losers,or even car thieves ..
13:50 I aint seen yet what Ike came up with, but it seems obvious to me: Flip those exhaust stubs UP, and have chrome bike mufflers comin' straight up thru the hood! Stacks! With flappers on top to keep water out. Also, make em "quick-disconnect", so you can still open and close the hood! 😂
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????
Piedmont dragway, niceee! They do drift events there and ride alongs too bout once a month. Never been there fkr the drags tho. The left side of thr strip has what they call "the boss circuit" which i think woukd make a sick drift kart track too.
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.
Looks great! Throw on that shifter is a little long for high speed driving. I would put in a link system from a crotch rocket to shorten the throw. But good job guys.
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
I've been using Harry's razors and shaving cream for a few years now and I love them there a good product I used Gillette before and I could only get one shave per razor head Harrys razor head I can shave three or four times 👍👍

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.
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.

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
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
Happy to be comment 300 !!!!!
Great build liking the 450 🔥🔥
Oh man, that sounds awesome when he stomped on it that first time.
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 love the drag racing!
Love that you cleared over the OG finish.
Now add twin vertical chrome stacks with tractor style flaps on top
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.

Much love fromKY! Been waiting a min for the rail to return.
Started the video, did a jump to get to the content.
And another, and another, AND ANOTHER ITS ALL HAIR PRODUCTS.
Charles' vision is always so clear.
Loved that plug Ike!
It sounded great going down the track!

Exhausts should go straight up through the hood with rain flaps on the top 👍
Love that mower!!! I live close to piedmont dragway Maybe I'll see you there someday
23:10 Omg is the v twin dragster coming back.
I lile how you guys just went and made a sick muffler set up looks awsome
The mower is infinitely cooler than the rail cars! Awesome video
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 cant believe none of you considered chrome "stacks"! Just make em slip-fit, so you can remove em to open the hood!
It's so exciting to see yall back at the drag strip
ruclips.net/video/Obv2R_dNvRg/видео.html
Nice job guys 👍
Only John would consider painting that aged tinwork bright blue 😅😅
I say keep that sweet patinaa!
ruclips.net/video/Obv2R_dNvRg/видео.html
@@MayheM_72facts
patina is best
Hit it with clear
That thing looks like a bad mama jama. Really came out looking great with the clear coat paint job.
Thanks y’all!! Great vid Guys!! 👊👊✌️🤙
Great choice keeping the patina!

Actually those were damn sweet bikes.
John it needs 400 cc stickers for the tops of the fenders
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
I've just started watching in about the last 5 or 6 episodes. You three are nuts and it's awesome.
It turned out better than I thought it would but that steering linkage is….. unique for lack of a better word. But it works.
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.
Thank the Lord you left that patina finish. Looks tuff.
Lol love the muffler holes boys improvise to get the goal achieved love watching you guys do your thing 🥰🥰🥰

One of my favorite builds.
That steering linkage is genius.
Excellent lawn care.
Can you make a full tutorial on how to build a gocart from scratch? etc. chassis design, steering, brakes, attachments for wheels.
How about the exhaust coming up with glass packs and tractor flaps?
I don't know if it was yesterday or today but he got his first sponsoring those were the boots that he has feet
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
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.
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
Pro tip: when cutting radii (on your sticker) use nail scissors. They make a smooth radii!
I love this build. I think it should be called the Drag Rat.
So happy you decided to keep the rusted look!
This has to be one of my favorite builds. Second to the Ducarti!
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!
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!!!
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.
I was questioning the gloss clear coat until you got it on the lawn mower it looks pretty good
Who's the new guy? Not watched you guys since you built the little red wagon and cut the roof off that old truck, yet today you popped up on my feed, gald your still rolling, and have a huge shed compared to your Pops awesome garage.

Absolutely freaking love great job guys
For some reason this build really tickles my fancy! I really want to build one now! Awesome content for sure gentlemen!
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!

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!!
Not bad. Perhaps a bit of patch on the muffler. Runs a bit better.
Was hoping for a box to tractor stack exhaust with a flapper on the top for that total tractor look...
So glad yall kept the patina.
Like I said previously.... One of the coolest things that y'all have ever built and it officially halls butt to boot!
The clear coat patina paint job was the right choice for the build looks awesome keep up the good work guys 👍
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 patina look is called 'oily rag' on tractors here in the UK
I love Brit slang.
Gonna need a lawn mower ornament to go with my dragster ornaments.
Great air filter placement! Eat some beans and get a little boost. Right in the intake!
Piedmont dragway, niceee! They do drift events there and ride alongs too bout once a month. Never been there fkr the drags tho. The left side of thr strip has what they call "the boss circuit" which i think woukd make a sick drift kart track too.
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!!
Very clean build guys. 👌
Will be fun at the race track against the others
needs a taller final for sure. Bet that thing could easily do 70+ in the 1/8th. I love the look of this thing
Absolutely dig the rat rod paint scheme 👍 🏁
Love the patina look 👌 Awesome build guys 👍✌️

foot gear change and a finger/hand clutch might be safer when you get it up to it's real potential speed
As crappy as that muffler looked, it sounded awesome.
Did Isaac just take two bites out of a muffler it looks like to make those two holes in the top of the muffler
