Have you thought about just putting the motor behind the seat? It would make your project a shit load easier.

What does that have to do with anything? It's not the brand of the engine that makes the similarity, it's the engine on a minimalist frame and almost no body..
But yes, I do know that it's a Ecotec in the US versions; I met a few guys from Brammo last year and have a standing job interview offer from them for when I get my degree.

Ill keep you posted on what we do with the shif linkage, etc, because we want to use the clutch, and shift setup as if it were in a car.

when you get up in that range of power to weight it becomes too much than you need. Beside looking cool, traction will never be what it need. They guy in europe that did it with a gixxer motor blowing up tires every 2 laps. At 60$ a piece for kart tires it'll get kinda expensive testing. Were you goin to go with the
kart disk clutch or use the tranny and gear it off of that?
