Definately, but being as I'll be mounting the motor transversly in the frame
so that I can drive a center driveshaft to make it AWD, you'd run into some
problems with a sidedraft carb I'd think. I might be wrong, but I think it
would be tipping the wrong way for a sidedraft unless you mounted it so that
it drew air from the left/right side of the cart.

Not to mention that you probably don't want to have to wear haring protection
while riding the thing. Quieter is probably better in this application, I'll
give you that.

I'd assume you should be able to mate just about whatever you like
transmissionwise with whatever motor you like from that same company. (honda
trans to honda motor, etc) Some of the older gold wings do have reverse as
Jon had mentioned, so there's probably some way to work it out.
