Extending the axle to the back sounds like a great plan, as does a clutch cover. A set of foot pegs located under the exhaust/carb areas will make standing to avoid bumps more comfortable, and you'll be able to shift your weight forward easier.
Nice build keepin the DREAM ALIVE ✨️ my dad when he was alive used to take us to play slot cars and all that but never put me on a bike 🏍 im just now reliving my childhood
Next up, hydraulic breaks, steering dampener, and elbow and knee pads. Also a cast aluminum flywheel simply for added safety. It doesn’t even need a governor delete.
18:00 you can still put a smaller rear sprocket on it but then go and turn in the throttle stop screw so anyone won’t be able to go above a certain speed/throttle amount.
Put the original useless engine back on that bike for Jessie, and buy a new bike to cut up and modify and put the bigger engine in it. I was thinking there for a few seconds that the bike was going to ride John instead of the other way around LOL. Maybe keep both wheels on the ground John LOL....Yeah I know, its like having a high performance car and trying to drive it like a grandma LOL.
I’m definitely considering buying these engines now that california is starting to ban predator engines being sold in stores.😢 I’d have to travel over an 1hr and a half to buy a 212 predator from the store. (The closest store is only 5-10 minutes away from me and they are no longer selling the predator engines.)
Just buy another for the woman and just go crazy with that one. The boy will get use to the power and maybe you will to? But it does have hospital wrote all over it. Be safe and play hard.
