883 Cross Kart Build Ep1 ~ SEMA Harley Davidson Cross Kart

[@jesseshelby4383]

Hell yeah! I knew it was a matter of time before someone put a real vtiwn in a cart. It's gonna sound so sick! 💯👌

[@SilvaDreams]

People have put so many things on go-carts... Hell I've seen snowmobile engines slapped on go-carts as well as crotchrocket engines... Nothing like 600(+)cc engines on a tube frame for fun.

[@jacobbornman9494]

😅😂🤣👌🏽

[@guywilsonwelding]

I already did.

[@Tim.White16]

Now I am looking for someone to put the goldwing 1800cc engine in something, already shaft drive and sound mean when piped

[@mikeschoolcraft21]

With the front cylinder behind the seat you will need a external oil cooler mounted where it can breathe or it will overheat.

[@ericmuhlbeier8023]

Its gonna need head fans too!!! The poor thing is gonna melt behind that big ole seat!!

[@TankToChest]

It’s gonna be fine. Run two big twin oil coolers and extend the capacity of the dry sump tank. Make sure the coolers have 12v fans and you’ll me good.

[@rodswim492]

Excellent job. Greg you guys have stepped it up a notch. You're living my dream. God bless. I'm almost 60 now I can build just about anything but never had the support system in my life or the people to believe in me. Keep turning it up.

[@discipleoftheword1785]

Congratulations. You are headed to SEMA. God bless you bro.

[@rodneyboyd5280]

I watch to learn from one of the best teachers, and the bonus entertainment at 16:33 is KZbin gold! You're the best, Redbeard!

[@nepaoutdoors8536]

The amount of tools this guy has and the shop he has is like a dream

[@toddbob644]

80's retro style is in these days! Looks great! Congrats on the SEMA build!

[@FloridaMan0561]

Harley powered Kross Kart,Hell yeah! This kart is going to have a ridiculous amount of power when you get on the skinny pedal. I can’t wait to see ole Red Beard tearing up the field as he takes this thing for an old rip snort!!!

[@locomojo0485]

LOL...this build is awesome and all. But really? ridiculous amounts of power? This is the same engine people want to call "girl bikes" It makes 53hp. He had more than that in several other projects now. Just comical to hear HAHA..

[@FloridaMan0561]

@@locomojo0485 Ok Debbie Downer.

[@megoingfast]

The dance was classy. Much appreciation 😆

[@beckymcdaniel9853]

Loved the dancing at 16:45

[@meco72104]

Ridding the carts is awesome, But building them from scratch how cool and all the cool tools. Y'all have come a long way. I do miss mini bike Monday tho.

[@holtpage8226]

Love the idea of a V-twin cross kart. A sport bike engine is great for wide open space but the torque of a twin seems better suited for riding in and around the Smokies.

[@ogt92fromthe1step9]

Love the build. But just maybe you might want to slap in a 1200 kit or at least a bigger cam. That is a lot of steel to pull around and I get you have a 72 tooth sprocket but you you're asking a lot out of that 883 with 30 inch tall tires, all that tubing steel, accessories and your weight, you're going to be pushing the scales. Awesome build dude. I love how your your dude is sharing his learning experiences with the lathe. Keep on rocking brother 🤟

[@aaron_brown7324]

Mrs Redbeard is gangster looking right at the tig welding.....now I'm seeing spots lol

[@ricerneon399]

I was gonna say something but seen your comment.

[@nextlevelgarage3481]

Very good job…this cross cart is best idea..⚙️

[@dirtfootracing8788]

Just booked airfare to SEMA see you and the cross kart there

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Sweet! We'll be in the Quantum Machinery booth.

[@CaptnKraft2148]

Came here from Cars and Cameras! I like what i see! Subbed 🙂

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Thanks man!

[@mattmckiernan8933]

Nice Job, You have to put a 1250 kit on that 883. you wont regret it. and air shift.

[@newbornlog2789]

Dang Greg oh my bad I meant Mr milk knees you need a Bridgeport and a CNC table like c and c has and you'd be fully equipped hope you eventually get all that equipment there bubba.!!¡

[@rangerismine]

Not sure why but the front end and cockpit are giving me fighter jet vibes. Love it!

[@gertebert]

8:54 Now you sound exactely like rather B welding lol! He always builds something and tears it down immediately after!

[@ashleymongiovi4543]

Red beard got the moves🤣🤣🤣

[@DragonsFireMetalWorx]

hard work pays off Red..congrats to you n the squad on the opportunity to showcase at SEMA 👍

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

That is definitely one of the saweetest welding tables I’ve seen. I wish I could afford one…lol. Cool build! I don’t think I’ve seen a buggy with a Harley power plant until now. That should haul some ass!

[@randallbaker9055]

I absolutely love my Sigemund table. thank you rbg. it truly make a big difference in how straight and square you can weld something up. they are worth every penny paid for it.

[@nathaniellangston5130]

INCREDIBLE!!! Great job on it so far!! Wish I could go to Sema and see it in person!!

[@albertjenkins8121]

I've said since ya started building your buggies and finally here it is the most AMERICAN CART YET! Would love to see another one built after this with a softail or electraglide motor and trans maybe like a twin cam efi maybe a six speed but if can't find the right one with the six we'll guess a five will be OK! Love how it's lookin so far great work RBG! KEEP IT COMING!

[@robertdees1914]

This is cool . Good to see your wife helping

[@jamesaden966]

Love the welding table, keeps things really straight, wish I had one . Love your video s, keep up the good work, I learn a lot from them, thanks Jim

[@idreamofdragonso5677]

I would say get hammer performance to build you a 1275 120hp sporster evo. That would be fun

[@keystonerider1308]

Ahh shoulda used a Buell engine. They can be had pretty cheap too! Easy 100 hp and dang near that for tq

[@trumpfancardanostakepool4737]

Shaping up awesome. Good on you for holding to your standards, ditching work you weren't happy with.

[@theatcfreakjoshskelton9281]

@RedBeardsGarage Finally someone saved time by keeping the original cradle for the engine. Thank you guys

[@centurialinc]

Awesome build as always! Some builds are tuff to get looking good, we have been there. Keep it up and have fun at SEMA.

[@sunsweetsuitable593]

i was literally laying in bed and wondering why most of these channels havent used a harley yet!?!?!?!?! then your freakin video pops up. we are of one mind

[@richardroberts3416]

The best looking cross karts IMO is the Euro or Sierra style karts, having the one piece front screen/hood just makes them look good.

[@richardroberts3416]

I’m also rebuilding a old Edge Piranha, but they still look late 80s

[@reprieverc]

I'm so freaking stoked for this. Been waiting on an actual builder to do this so I can use ideas lol I've always wanted to do this! Congrats on the opportunity, good things come to good people 🤘

[@DeathGrimmR]

Honestly if you chrome this frame. It would shine beautifully and have the muscles to match. Great looking frame. Maybe in the future make a 2 seater one but not side by side. One seat in front of the other like a fighter jet style. That would be amazing! Keep up the wonderful work and God bless you even more than he has!

[@keithgrant7791]

1275 Hammer kit will make that 883 up.

[@quevicular]

That welding table is awesome. A great asset. Rather b welding is behind the times. He needs one of these

[@joshblainer2652]

I like the new in house machinist. Seems like a nice guy

[@BradVentureAZ]

A big thanks to Mrs. Beard for all the help !!

[@lizzard7473]

I'm genuinely so happy for you. You have a chance to live your dream. God has blessed you. We can see that you poor you heart into every build. Thank you for the videos.

[@delmas15]

CONGRATULATIONS!! Soooo happy for you!! Great choice on the HD.

[@ezmac622]

It's nice to see Mrs Red Beard in there helping you! I'm in Rockwood TN, maybe I'll see you guys in Oliver Springs some time...Nice work as usual!

[@joshivy7792]

As a machinist I love this build the table you use is next level

[@fan1701]

You've come so far, so fast! Awesome build and congrats on going to SEMA.

[@bwxmoto]

"I'm embarrassed that I even built it" 😆 That's funny.. but it wasn't that bad.

[@erautosales4997]

Awesome opportunity. Very excited for you guy. God bless, much love and peace out.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

You are one subscriber I don't think we can ever forget sir lol

[@CODOutdoors]

Soooo cool, I am happy for you guys and excited to see this build evolve! CONGRATS!

[@michaelrania1985]

That thing is gonna be bad ass! It already is!

[@jasonbickford4283]

I'm very excited about the power plant choice. The off idle hp & torque is gonna be awsome!

[@DaveGlitchHare]

From Skittles to SEMA You've come a long way Congrats and God bless

[@lomsomesGarage]

This is a great build and congratulations on the Sema show

[@infinitehoodedgaming]

I know I'm not the only one hoping they put a turbo on this thing.

[@wgreen8808]

Hell yeah! This is a build I can get excited about. I know you'll build a rock solid awesome build. I'm excited to see it come together!

[@benhightowerv]

I'm really glad you redid the chassis. Wasn't digging that first square build. Looks way better now. Can't wait to see further progress.

[@edlebrock3501]

what an awesome build! it is impressive how much work you got done in one episode! i watch builds like this all the time, and this is the quickest ive seen a chassis come together, i can see that table truly helps a ton. good job! cant wait for the next episode!

[@jesseshelby4383]

I love the cv break combo. Reminds me of a sproder

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

That's gonna be so sick!

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

This is going to be the best buggy/go-kart build on KZbin.

[@teebuck394]

Love the new build I hope it runs great can’t wait to see it complete and in action

[@DyckRyk]

Intense build and I'm loving the use of the 883

[@g_compo8639]

Looking forward to this build these 883 motors make good torque and are easy tune that for more power with little modifications

[@bryduhbikeguy]

You are taking your 'Fabrimagification' skills to a whole new level with this monster.Perhaps "Quadster" will be coming from Harley Davidson after seeing this?

[@reviewaccount469]

I was sorry to hear about Lonnie leaving, though I completely understand why. I enjoyed his attitude and sense of humor. Hopefully you still have him back on occasion and/or for special events.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Oh he will be back on for fun stuff like riding. He is not gone from the channel just the day to day. Thank you for the support!!!

[@robertjohnston4554]

Looks like a dingo there for a minute lol but I'm digging it

[@memorris2]

Good call on the redo!!!! I hate the blocky looking buggy/carts! When i saw the initial build i was thinking nooooooo, but it looks so much better now!

[@nepaoutdoors8536]

What makes you choose to use mig or tig with the frame i noticed you did both?

[@waylonbaker9318]

as an 883 owner I really wonder what the power will feel like on this set up. Def make sure you run a good intake and proper exhaust system for some low down torque to pull that cart around. Absolutely awesome running powerplant though stoked for this build congrats on SEMA thats huge! and yes.. like a few other comments keep in mind that beast is air cooled and they like to get pretty warm maybe build an air duct to direct air to the engine? That could be killer.

[@memorris2]

I hope it sounds like a friggin mini dragster motor! Cam lopey and beastly!

[@memorris2]

Tennessee is the best! Love our state!!!!

[@immelting9834]

I built one of these but used a Honda VTX 1800cc motor, because it's shaft driven and i used a modified old mail truck axle .

[@devivoman]

I've watched plenty of your videos, this one made me hit the subscribe button! This thing is going to be a ripper!

[@JoseManuel-lj4dk]

I have always ordered from rebel gears and I'm always satisfied for sure..

[@mokokawi]

Love the lines on the chassis

[@Thorbrook]

man that's a definite step up. great start to a build

[@MrWarwick15]

Awesome build Guys! Thank you. Rich.

[@just-in-time6069]

One thing i can say is make a point to get a large oil cooler for extra oil they need it even in the bike form and at least upgrade clutch or just springs make big diff cause of weight.and look into newer bike with fuel injection possible wrecked bike to save money .the possibility of tuning and haven the gauges working would awesome to see this build always want to do one because had so many family members and friends that worked for Harley Davidson in York pa learn alot funny though own more Japanese bike then Harleys lol (Honda's) run for ever.

[@demondoomslayer3907]

Huh I can't wait to see a drag race between RBG crosscart vs C&C crosscart

[@BASgarage]

Love this!! Congrats and can’t wait to see it complete! If you decide to get crazy with the engine check out hammer performance awesome 1275 kits for the 883

[@ghomerhust]

you were right to redo the frame i think. this one here has a much more aggressive shape, and the lines just flow better. looking amazing

[@2000freefuel]

Years ago I got to see a very nice engine swap mating a Harley engine to a Type 1 Volkswagen Transmission, only thing it was missing was a set of symmetrical pipes that crossed left to right.

[@christopherallen9615]

This build is awesome it's another great build of yours. I like how you are always sort of outside-the-box with things. You aren't that 1 million guy that puts a crotch rocket engine in a buggy LOL. Granted, that Harley motor will probably leak oil and stuff LOL. But I'm very excited about it and I love that you went with that motor because it's different. Maybe you can be the guy that builds that engine to where it won't leak and is reliable LOL. This is going to be super cool to watch! Keep up the good work guys!

[@EJ-74]

Holy Cow this is going to be absolutely sick Can't wait to see and hear it rip 🔥👍✌️

[@lemjohnson6798]

Can't wait to see this!

[@christopherallen9615]

For entertainment purposes I'll let you know also, that my three-year-old is watching this with me and she said, look daddy that Daddy man is building a big tractor. She has much to learn LOL.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

😂 Thanks for sharing!

[@cadillaccrow808]

this is the best build so far!

[@chrismartin6544]

Ooohhh oooohhh hammer performance 1250 kit leave the 883 badges and look and have a killer sleeper super kart no one has to know jus you me and a few of your close KZbin friends mmmmmuuuuuuaaaaaa !!!! Ooohhh and maybe a trask turbo hehehe that’s what I’m talkin bout

[@ghomerhust]

yeah because the 883 is "such" a slouch when strapped to a kart.... haha

[@travism2017]

I have a spare black kurayken velocity stack with a filter for CV carbs. If you're interested I will send it to you!

[@plusplus3]

Can't wait to see it all done!! Looks great!! Great video!!

[@roadlife8973]

I have been waiting for this build

[@Dude_Slick]

Good call. I was not digging where that chassis was going. Glad to see you weren't either.

[@davidowen888]

Once Again Congrats on your Sema build ! thats awesome 🤯🥳💯

[@beaud3035]

Thats gonna be sick!! And with all do respect... Your wife is a Cutie!

[@beaud3035]

She looks very similar to my wife so i can say that with out getting Slaughtered in my sleep 😂

[@mattclark420]

Damn Redbeard can get down. Lol. Glad to see the joker come out. Keep the great content coming

[@Skiridr22]

This is going to be an epic build and I’m here for it 👍🏾👍🏾

[@joshvandruff1790]

This things gonna be a ripper! 🤘🏻

[@supersport1986]

I can't wait for the next upload this is sick have always thought it would be awsome to use a bike engine in an off road cart thanks guy for making a dream I have had a reality

[@InnocentMiscreant]

Definitely need try and make some extra power out that engine to broaden it's torque curve
