considering the go kart series karts were some of the fastest and best handling rear karts built why would you change the geometry?
i'll bug mike out in cali and get the correct specs posted.
steve that spec i can assure you is wrong. i guess it shows books written by humans aren't always right.
changing the king pins and axles is fine i'd bush them as if you run them alot and wiegh in over 200# the holes will wear fast.
my gk800 is due for new bronze bushings after only two seasons but i'm a little rough on equipment.
you can use either bearing i prefer the tapered bearings but they do limit your rim choices.
definitely make the front spindle axle longer than stock to allow more rim choices and cotter pin access.
