Shifter Kart - north_shore_racer - 01-17-2006
me and a friend are gonna build or buy a shifter kart. if you kno wut they r. they r pretty darn fast go karts basically. only onroad. it just looks more fun. and faster. so i was gonna see if anybody knew about them or has them or any type of gokart. or if they know someone who has one for sale or has seen one locally for sale. so i dont have to orderiitnonline and pay 200 bux shipping. so i was gonan see if anybody knows much about em. ive been reading up and ive seen em and worked on one once. but i really want one to have. so... if anybody knows anything then thatd be cool. also if anybody knows about them feel free to present info about them like where to get em locally or even into wisconsin.
Thanks for help if anybosy knows anything about these.

I don't know anything about the karts, but when I was on my way to the berwyn bash I noticed a shop that sells like go-karts, dirtbikes, and 4 wheelers. It was on harlem mabye a couple blocks south of 40th street. I am not sure if they have it or if they are any good. I just noticed they had a bunch of stuff outside.

The place on 47th and Harlem is called "The Tool Store" Half the store is all tools, the other half has go-karts, scooters, engines and accesories.

If you go to Maxspeeddesigns.com he's big time into karts as well. Just to go the links page and there was like 5 or 6 different places if you want to get some ideas and parts prices I think.

you dont wanna pay 200 for shipping, but are willing to spend 7-10 grand on a shifter cart?
