Harley 883 Cross Kart Ep2 ~ Rear Trailing Arm Build & Spoiler

[@joshuamurillo3480]

!!!!! Gussets are a must !!!!!!

[@051570orion]

Finally got the chance to watch the video , I have been on the road since 10 am yesterday , just got home from Texas about 40 minutes ago . that thing looks great , quality build 👍🏻👍🏻. Ok I'm going to bed now , I'm beat . Night and God Bless

[@andrewgee241]

The quality of your work blows away a certain other channel that also does go-kart and mini bike builds. Keep of the great projects.

[@cerberes]

The new custom for the 21st century.

[@ghomerhust]

that seigmund table is really flexing its muscles on this build. so awesome

[@kmikem78]

Man this thing looks aggressive as heck. I love the lines on the front end especially.

[@nitewatch2.027]

Proud of you all, SEMA is the top,,, I got faith, your build will be awesome

[@subzero5101]

So nice. You guys are working hard and it looks beautiful. If your nervous about taking press fit parts and making it slide in easier by changing the tolerances I wouldn't worry too much. Sometimes things get a little too tight after welding even when we're careful and rotate and wait they can still get way too tight. Like trying to park a Cadillac in a dog house. I do it myself on occasion. I haven't had a problem in about 30 years of fabrication. I'd say the danger of premature wear/failure is only theoretical 😉. Keep up the good work we're all waiting to see that bad boy run. Thanks for putting a spotlight on my favorite hobby btw it's so nice to watch and learn from other experienced craftsman.

[@thatoneguy2756]

Dang, one day go carts....next day real deal cross carts! Good for you!

[@haroldfisher2256]

That thing looks pretty tough. I would call it made for some Gravy Bones. Would love to see you and Grayson working on a build like this together. Keep praising God.

[@ericschein1857]

Love the new training arm design! I am a big fan of the off the shelf axles as well.

[@gianniabbott3482]

Your fabrication skills have come a long way! Amazing work!!

[@ericbiles4273]

I love the Harley cross kart build and the trailing arms are the best set up I've seen yet I used to be a fab welder but I am disabled with stage 4 cancer and can't do much now so I watch utube love your channel and look forward to future builds peace out brother

[@BradVentureAZ]

Wow.... from hopping up Kandi 150 to this amazing custom build, your shop growing, the tool stash is growing.... Great work, keep it up please !! I really need to get one of those tables....💞

[@bigtsperspective5831]

Don’t ever doubt yourself ! You got some mad skills and so do those around you. Just for today stick with the winners 😉😎

[@PaulThomas-qo9vy]

Sweet Build Greg! Right nice & professional. I've been enjoying your show for years! Keep up the great work & may the Lord keep blessing ya'll real good, pressed down, shaken together & running over kind of good, Amen!

[@VapeTRMC]

this thing is going to be sick id love to see the 1450 kit dropped on the 883 bottom end and really get this thing slaying tires

[@colinowttrim3658]

Please don't forget to support the rear cylinder. There is normally a mount between the heads. I'm a sportster freak. If it's not supported, you will end up with a base gasket leak really fast.

[@sethalton205]

That's awesome that you guys are building something headed to SEMA. That's one of the things on my bucket list. Can't wait to see what the finished project looks like.

[@thomasunruh6539]

Best looking crosskart on the internet by a long shot! It'll be a while before anyone can top this. Great job brother!🤘

[@tlctinkerin5196]

Use the “green” sleeve loctite to help keep the bearing from spinning in the hub and spindle till your ready for the permanent design when u can press em in.

[@scooter041031]

This all day, there needs to be a press fit so the outer race doesn't spin in the housing if not then the bearings won't be doing bearing things properly. You could end up destroying your new bearing adapters and trailing arms because of that poor fit, the hardened race of the bearing will chew up that DOM if it spins.

[@scooter041031]

Also that hub is supposed to be pressed into the inner race so it doesn't spin in the race. So much wrong with that whole bearing set up.

[@scooter041031]

[@jamessmith1190]

He could tack in the bearings with the tig... but yes press fit is proper .001 a inch correct

[@joeymerrell8585]

Easily upgraded motor as well. A set of new jugs gives you a 1200, and the options are endless for that. Awesome build

[@ianthompson6540]

Your skills and builds have come a long way... very inspiring...

[@uncletoddsgarage]

Absolutely killed it on the trailing arm design. Turned out SICK. Makes me want to get going on my next build! Thanks!

[@chrismartin6544]

She is coming together nicely 👍👍 very cool A black Thunderheader would be bad ass and sound amazing plus add some torque

[@mariolavergne5258]

It’s awesome that your using over the counter parts! But you will be going through bearings and hubs! They are a press fit for a reason!!! I hope they last! But awesome build none the less!! Can’t wait to see and hear it moving under it’s own power!!

[@snapfish89]

I see this alot, with KZbinrs building hubs. Bearing just falling in. This could allow the Bearing to spin, where it shouldn't be spinning. Lol

[@RedBeardsGarage]

When you build a buggy you are taking bearings in and out so I didn't want it to be a press fit because of the headache it would add. When I get a rear suspension design that is tried and tested I will make them press fit until then it will work just fine.

[@snapfish89]

@@RedBeardsGarage fair enough. Tbh your buggy isn't driving 200k miles either. So probably will be just fine! Great build as always.

[@legro19]

Don't need a big press fit. Just need to be hard of slide in with hand like -.0001 +0.0000 slide fit it's perfect. Just use loctite if something goes wrong.

[@tylertrimsale1259]

Love seeing those blonde lashes building stuff and looking happy doing it! Can’t wait to see this thing rip

[@senderaddict5722]

Need to put a thunderheader on that motor when it s exhaust time. 💪🏻🇺🇲

[@FarmerFpv]

So dope! You do professional work. I have been watching for a long time now and I'm not one to comment much. In just the last 2 years your skills have become so polished. Congrats on the Sema build. So many people dream of doing a Sema build. Rob

[@travismitchell5370]

I’m pumped to see this build in person at sema this year love seeing all the builds and this ones no exception

[@cecilledbetter2715]

can't wait til the finish

[@centurialinc]

That rear CV setup is slick!

[@jasonphillips4229]

Looks Awesome

[@jakemartin4305]

Love how you did those trailing arms how they bend close to the frame to make it more slim that's bad ass man 👏👍

[@ezmac622]

Looking good brother! God bless you and your family ♥

[@Wolf_Pug]

You've came a long way ! Keep doing what you love!

[@nikdipetta]

Man I have been an OG red beard fan and witnessing this fab work he is doing today.....is just bananas. Not like it was bad to start......but this rig is dope! Need to step up from go karts and start building an LS based rock bouncer!

[@flintlock_glockTJR]

Or the Red Beard version of an Ariel Atom 🤔

[@trumpfancardanostakepool4737]

Seeing the tubing bender needed for some of that big stuff would be interesting. I reckon RBG would get real good at those bigger builds. He has a head for it.

[@karoljurgielewicz98]

OMG!!! Amazing project!!!! I'm probably more exited than when I was waiting for 670cc supercharged one!!! Amazing work Greg, hope your project will blow everybodys mind on SEMA!

[@leosweeney7955]

Never been this quick to watch a youtube vid.!!!! I was 3rd one here!!! Love you guys

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Thank you for the support

[@gqp3215]

Looks great. Lathe and mill will pay for themselves fast making custom whatever you can dream up. Been waiting for someone to put an H-D engine on one of these buggies or bikes or 3 wheelers, 2 in front of course. Worked amf H-D in early 80's 8 months bought super glide

[@Eury9819]

them trailing arms look very good I love the design

[@bartvanos]

Very high quality build, master fabricator you are sir

[@trumpfancardanostakepool4737]

Man this things is shaping up great.

[@flintlock_glockTJR]

Anyone else equally as excited for when he gets bored later and does the Hammer Performance 1275 big bore kit?

[@noahh7584]

I have one in my garage. Hope he goes for it

[@carnivorecave]

Looks sleek...

[@carspotting_ike]

Mannnnnnnnn that. Chassis is sick 🤒 , that WING set it off ….

[@MotorsportDiesel]

Folks bearings are designed to be pressed in for a reason, they will rotate and wear what they rotate in, and instant presto now you have expensive scrap. Also those weenie little hub brackets for the trailing arms need to be much thicker.

[@brianrhubbard]

These types of bearings are sealed and have inner and outer races they rotate in. As long as the CV axle nut is torqued to spec it will be just fine.

[@craigengelman4534]

its probably gonna be a trailar queen . all that thick wall tube gotta weigh a ton with all of 40 hp it will be a trud

[@РикардоОнанэску]

It's cool, dudes, respect from Russia

[@ScubaSam242]

That's one boss looking chassis, you should run a production of a few of those, I want to build an electric kart ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@matthewjones7935]

Imagine this thing getting all the necessary items to be street legal!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Man.This is looking So solid."Cartster",or "Off-Roadster"?Harley should make some too.

[@stripperscritters8451]

They’d include half the stuff and charge $45,000 for it. - A Harley owner

[@dirtyhooliganmx4337]

Every boys dream a gocart with a Harley Davidson engine

[@Rattus-Norvegicus]

This is literally the only one I've seen, everyone else uses sportbike, atv, or 2 stroke engines. Harley's have a terrible reputation for anyone under 40.

[@suzukiman650]

Will be interesting to see how the 883 performs in the kart. I suspect it will be underwhelming.

[@dailyfilmfix469]

She's a beaut!!

[@acurarl9929]

I took a 883 and did the 1275 kit from Hammer performance and took it from 48 hp to 110hp and they offer a 125hp kit as well. It’s real and it’s insane. For a NA motor.they offer different packages. 80+-90+-100+-110+-120+ hp kits. I did the 100hp+ package and dyno out at 111hp 88ftlbs and next dyno day I should have more ftlbs had to wait on cpl things

[@zeke7142003]

Those 883 motors are short on power. 30 years ago I did a 1200 conversion and the difference was night and day. The 1275 kits are even more impressive.

[@terrybrown8292]

Looking awesome keep it up guys n a gal

[@fitchy4O]

I wanna hear this thing fire up

[@MrWarwick15]

Awesome! Thanks Guys. Rich.

[@grizlypaws4091]

Coming along awesome

[@johnfry9010]

You have come a long way from working on Mini bikes , this is an awesome build ! I first tuned in to your channel along time ago because I bought my Grandson a Coleman Mini bike . All the best to your success !

[@mten8965]

HD build I'm liking it!😎🇺🇸

[@robertdees1914]

You have some nice skills building frames. Hope you guys up the horse power from that sporty motor, better clutch, oil cooler .maybe a good turbo.. seams like the cage weight is growing..keep up the cool builds

[@Thefabforums]

that thing is rad !

[@wrenchg3954]

Whoa. Probably not the best idea to explain that time's ticking down but your going to complete as much as "Possible"? Uh Red, this is ((SEMA)) it has to be complete. And surely everyone will see this as an attack. No. I've been subbed from day one and really want Red and family to succeed. But the reality is, not many get this opportunity. This could be a real make it or break it situation. This could take RGB to the next level. And I'd like to see that happen for them. Keep it up. Looking good

[@justinwatts6210]

i was talking to my buddy about finding a wrecked m109r and doing a cross cart / buggy using a ford escape rear end because they are fully independent rear suspension

[@nitroneal48]

It's going to be a wicked machine.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I love reading all the Comments and the Replies at the videos,but clicked something last night that took that out.I can't even ask for help,as a name shows,but no comments,not even mine.How's That for irony?Happy Trails everyone.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I see your comments sir

[@Rattus-Norvegicus]

That sometimes happens if your comment or the comment you replied to gets deleted. Also KZbin auto-deletes certain words or phrases, especially if they contain certain hateful insults or sexual content.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

[@joshvandruff1790]

This things gonna be mean. Can’t wait to see the finished product! 🤘🏻

[@davidjessee7701]

Number 9 heck yeah!!

[@mikemorine7670]

Wow! Sick build, guys! That's going to be a mean machine for sure! I watch a bunch of youtubers that make great crosskarts and I gotta ask, why not add doors? Homemade crosskarts seem like they are hard to get in and out of. Yours looks like it may be tough as well. Do you plan on changing out the cross bar after it's welded? You could always put some bends in it to make it easier to enter and exit the vehicle. For safety, you always need to consider how fast you can get out of the vehicle.

[@robertcates4066]

This looking amazing!!!

[@nicholascervone4734]

Hey red beard just out of concern for everyone just wanted to let you know that the light from welding can still damage the eyes if they have them closed. You can always get shaded safety glasses for those occasions when people have to help you hold parts for you to weld. Love the buggy by the way though.

[@PennerFab]

They're adults and can make their own choices 👍

[@dgk_53]

Whenever people weld with just their eyes closed, it's to perform a tack weld. Which takes 1 second. He's fine

[@nicholascervone4734]

Wow people just showing some concern

[@veenieyourmom912]

Love it

[@Superduty_59]

Awesome build!

[@brianhigby4727]

Hey idk If this your actually gonna read this but the miata bearings and spindles are meant to be press fits so you don't spin a bearing race. It might be better to make the knuckle removable from the whole trailing arm so it can maintain the press fit and still be maintained.

[@fainttomcat652]

I wanna see u and rather b wielding build a cart together some day

[@allenmichaud1605]

Sweet buggy with that sportster motor. How many buff ponies does that make? Seems like a large buggy. Excellent fab skills buddy.

you should loctite those bearings in, theyre pretty loose
