Try Jeremy's razors instead 😂

[@dbomber69]

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!

[@gfrankum63]

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

I find a beard only does one thing for me. makes me look old!!

[@dustinmiller7278]

Doing what I've dreamed of doing since I was 11

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

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.

[@southtexasspecials175]

Awesome man. Ride on

[@hammerT2997]

Hell yeah man!! I got my dad's Electra glide when he got a trike. Stay safe brother

[@jerellawson2426]

Great story, told very well.

[@imagineaworld]

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.

[@masjuggalo]

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

[@shiftymiata]

This is definitely one of my favorite builds you guys have ever done, so glad you kept the patina!!

[@CarsandCameras]

This build turned out SWEET! Can't wait to take it on a circuit track!

[@majorrev8690]

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!

[@JamesFox1]

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 .

[@JamesFox1]

Looks like Ike Got Hungry after Building That Muffler

[@chesterossa]

Where is y’all’s shop located? Love the content!

[@BigTexBlake]

So, the cheap sprockets, where from? Lol

[@jackskellingtim1848]

As somebody that currently has a Suzuki gs650g I'm very excited about this video

[@desertdenizen6428]

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.

[@SchoolforHackers]

Yeah, I worked at a Suzuki shop in 1980, and confirm: they had two carbs. Don’t recognize this setup at all.

[@tymattera8929]

I actually enjoy y’all ads only ad I watch all the way thru 10/10

[@immrnoidall]

Oh man, that sounds awesome when he stomped on it that first time.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

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

[@JACKNRICKSWORLD]

Happy to be comment 300 !!!!! Great build liking the 450 🔥🔥

[@oikkuoek]

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.

[@thunderpants645]

I was thinking 49 or 42, but you're correct.

[@oikkuoek]

@@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.

[@Greg1096]

​@@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

[@hunterdan2002]

​@@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.

[@oikkuoek]

@@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.

[@HighDefBNG]

Charles' vision is always so clear. Loved that plug Ike!

[@cthoroughman]

Love that you cleared over the OG finish.

[@jeffrykopis5468]

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! 😂

[@darellsimons2687]

First ever lawnmower on the strip that's a trophy 🏆

[@amd65ak47]

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.

[@bretwill9417]

It's so exciting to see yall back at the drag strip

[@Hitycooking]

[@kevinsellsit5584]

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.

[@sumfink100]

Now add twin vertical chrome stacks with tractor style flaps on top

[@michaelcrebbin7328]

Lol love the muffler holes boys improvise to get the goal achieved love watching you guys do your thing 🥰🥰🥰

[@46bvexrobotics65]

Can you make a full tutorial on how to build a gocart from scratch? etc. chassis design, steering, brakes, attachments for wheels.

[@rexhorning7228]

I love the drag racing!

[@docholiday6944]

Thanks y’all!! Great vid Guys!! 👊👊✌️🤙

[@jacobbreazeale1816]

It sounded great going down the track!

[@MultiKelly85]

Much love fromKY! Been waiting a min for the rail to return.

[@craiggiles8156]

Exhausts should go straight up through the hood with rain flaps on the top 👍

[@davidgerard5292]

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.

[@wildcard5555]

The lead in to the Harry's ad was hilarious! The build is awesome! I love watching this channel!

[@wildcard5555]

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????

[@bucktownpsd1590]

I love this build. I think it should be called the Drag Rat.

[@jeffrykopis5468]

I cant believe none of you considered chrome "stacks"! Just make em slip-fit, so you can remove em to open the hood!

[@nilejuneau1972]

I lile how you guys just went and made a sick muffler set up looks awsome

[@lesheath6216]

The mower is infinitely cooler than the rail cars! Awesome video

[@carlakers285]

23:10 Omg is the v twin dragster coming back.

[@eladvanallen8282]

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.

[@K3NnY_G]

Started the video, did a jump to get to the content. And another, and another, AND ANOTHER ITS ALL HAIR PRODUCTS.

[@MatMichaelis1]

I've just started watching in about the last 5 or 6 episodes. You three are nuts and it's awesome.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

It turned out better than I thought it would but that steering linkage is….. unique for lack of a better word. But it works.

[@alexharshman7025]

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

[@SchoolforHackers]

Actually those were damn sweet bikes.

[@Buck1954]

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.

[@nastbaster]

I got scared when they were talking about sanding and painting

[@92DeathMetal]

Always enjoy watching Rick Moranis and Owen Wilson in the same shop.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

That thing looks like a bad mama jama. Really came out looking great with the clear coat paint job.

[@pollyg562]

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

[@Goatee_yay]

Pro tip: when cutting radii (on your sticker) use nail scissors. They make a smooth radii!

[@carlossenos980]

Great choice keeping the patina!

[@waynenew9778]

Love that mower!!! I live close to piedmont dragway Maybe I'll see you there someday

[@jeffreymoffitt4070]

That exaust worked 10000x better than i thought it would!! Thats awesome!!

[@Tater_Lord]

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

[@burridge911]

I don't think John realizes that Issac is the reason anyone watches this channel.

[@RattleCanCustoms]

Dang…..we’re gonna have to build a mower cart now 😂

[@darylSKYTZOwillis]

How about the exhaust coming up with glass packs and tractor flaps?

[@darploin5071]

I was questioning the gloss clear coat until you got it on the lawn mower it looks pretty good

[@Yellow_Hammer]

Thank the Lord you left that patina finish. Looks tuff.

[@peterchristlieb]

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.

[@peterherrington3300]

Only John would consider painting that aged tinwork bright blue 😅😅

[@MayheM_72]

I say keep that sweet patinaa!

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.

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!

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.

[@MrNickGascoigne]

The patina look is called 'oily rag' on tractors here in the UK

The torque steer in the rear is hysterical. Kicks sideways on every shift!!!

The clear coat patina paint job was the right choice for the build looks awesome keep up the good work guys 👍

[@ChazAndTubbs]

So happy you decided to keep the rusted look!

[@bertehoffpauir1591]

You guys need to wrap one of your projects with the logo

[@darploin5071]

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

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

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.....

[@evelkoloski]

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!!!

I love that you guys kept the patina on the hood and fenders and just clear Coated it you did a fan service! ✌️❤️🙏

[@Wil_Liam1]

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...

[@mr1pearl]

Absolutely dig the rat rod paint scheme 👍 🏁

needs a taller final for sure. Bet that thing could easily do 70+ in the 1/8th. I love the look of this thing
