That's sad about not getting sponsored or even discounted on the parts. You definitely have a great channel your videos are fine quality and the detail you cover on your builds is absolutely great. Keep up the good work.
Yeah from the viewers, no from the business, you gotta have more than a million subscribers to get free stuff and have it be enough marketing to benifit the company.
That particular company only seems to sponsor people that only use their parts. But hey, you have more engineering than most all of the other guys! Thanks for sharing!
Probably my favorite video to date!!! Loved the music while tearing down and rebuilding the engine! Especially since I could still hear the mechanical sounds of everything going back together!!! Keep up the great work!
Hi Nice video. On your argument referring to the long runners on the SHO you didn't pause to think the the SHO engine has injectors at the head not where the long runners start. The long runners were there to increase air speed. I admit that I thought the runner may be a bit long but the proof is in how it both starts and how it runs. It may be a little harder to start on really cold days. If it revs up with no bogging down then it doesn't matter the length is fine. The other benefit is it keeps the carb out of harm's way. It's both protected from sticks and rocks plus it won't drown in semi deep water. Super nice job. Thanks!
@@EnginesbyAustin well as cool as that is bro, it is well known that long runners generally aid in tourque, short runners are generally in top end based applications.. not saying that tables can't be turned with each setup, but it seems most agree, and plenty of info online supporting the fact that length aids in tourque. Length ads resistance to flow compared to same diameter intake but one that is shorter will flow more, top end in short requires more air/fuel, so having said that it makes much more sense that longer would better suit low to mid-range applications, and shorter for top-end.
Just what I needed to start my weekend and shake off the sh!t show... This style of how to is spot on, just enough visual to get the idea across without minutes of useless footage and no lengthy commentary on how to start a bolt in a threaded hole... Then the money shot at the end, ripping around on the finished product!! Now I'm re-calibrated and motivated for a long shop weekend. Thanks Mike!
I'd like to do one of these but I won't be buying parts of GPS that's for sure. Your content is brilliant and they should have tripped over themselves to give you anything you need. Your credibility and build quality is miles ahead of 95% at least of other channels I have seen that get stuff every week off them. If there is a competitor to these people, they could make big inroads by helping you out. Thanks again for another informative, well presented and very enjoyable Vid.
Thanks for checking out my new video I really appreciate it! Well at the time last year when I ordered the parts my channel was only at 25,000 subs so maybe they missed the potential of my channel 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for commenting and I don’t mind buying my parts and paying full price, the company just won’t be getting any shoutouts or advertising from me When I’m paying 100% for them 😂 Take care
@@Mikefestiva yep. Your videos have helped me with welding and fabrication, I'm planning on building something like the quadtruck just because the one you made is so cool.
That thing is even better now.im glad you did the long runner intake so I could see a proof of concept. I'm really excited to see the full riding video. Also dont feel bad I have to pay out of pocket for all my parts too lol.
Love this idea. If and when you ever have engine troubles, you aren't stuck with a certain year, make, model or manufacturer of replacement parts. No rare, extinct or hard to find parts to search for due to them being discontinued. Just walk to the hardware store or order online
I am 95% finished with a Free 1974 Yamaha RS100 "Rust Bucket" build, removed all the water from the tubes, did some diy weld, painted it to look like an Army motorcycle. copied the frame style you made with slight difference, put a 212cc predator with torque converter, now installing universal headlights, taillights, turn signals, and finish the project. Thanks Mike for all the clear clarifications on the builds.
Mike, you are a jack of all trades and a master of them as well! I have owned many bikes and even raced back in the day. This looks like a great woods / trail bike build and a ton of fun for the money. Awfully tempting to build one myself. Keep up the good work. Blessings!
Thanks Earl I really appreciate it! It’s definitely a fun little machine, it’s biggest limitation now is the small frame, I’m considering seeing how it does in a full size frame next 👍
Agree, but is that a good match for that cam? Im guessing since he put in a forged rod that the cam rev’s higher, probably could use a shorter intake for the high rev’s. Either way, great vid, always fun to experiment Now I want to find an old bike on facebook 😄
Thanks guys for checking out my new video! The cam I bought was more for torque and I think only capable to about 6000 RPMs so the longer intake is a good match for it. The bike has a surprising amount of torque 👍
That won't work! That won't work! How many times do we, as tinkerers hear some professing engineer say........That won't work? The proof is in the FACT that it WORKS!...................lol GREAT SHOW!!!
Man I'm really surprised how much torque that thing has really getting you around them trails pretty good I've got an old Honda 125 roller sitting in my basement that I've been wanting to do something with only it's going to cost me about little more in the grand to rebuild the motor I kind of like this idea
The supplier who will go unnamed just throws free parts at other channels who keep doing the same thing over and over. Channnels who dont go in to near as much build detail and who have never made anything nearly as cool as the articulated 4x4. My goal is to get a plasma table like yours and maybe make some videos myself. It would make my life way simpler in regards to my little homemade projects. The Sawzall, drill, file method works but can be painfully slow. Keep up with the excellent videos!
1st time on your channel, subscribed and liked because I really like how clean and pro you work even on dirty cheap projects like this. Excellent camera work. Keep it up! Cheers from France.
I really liked the instructive nature of your filming. Well done!. That parts sponsor really missed out. I have watched many videos on the subject. This was a good video. Keep that content coming!
I just love your videos. You are succinct, to the point, and spot on, whether it’s a review of a welder ,a build like this stage 2 kit, or the flux core wire comparisons. Each and every time you are fair , honest , and genuine. I am a big fan , keep doing these projects, because they inspire creativity and talent. Both of which you have in abundance!! You are awesome Mike !!
Well at the time I ordered the parts my channel was about 25,000 subs and maybe that wasn’t enough? I would have been happy with a 20% off. I’m still going to make these videos sponsored or not. Thanks for checking out my new video Ryan!
Your not only a hella builder, your a man of few words and say what you mean.. meaning your the man I'd take to trail with. Humble and smart and know what it takes, listens to advice but relies on ones self as good guidance. Oh and this is good videoing too!!
AS A BUILDER AND FABBER BROOOOOOOOO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID LIKE MY PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN HOW TO GET THE PONEYS TOT HE BACK TIRE AND GET A WIDER GEARING CAUSE SLL I COULD EVER GET MINE 2 WAS ABOUT 4 MILES AND HOUR MAYBE 10 IDK BUT VERY SLOW AND THEN I SEE THIS BEAST OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICK!!!!!!!!
I have all the same stuff and updated to stainless valves and ported the head. Its been put together and been sitting since winter. I've never even started yet. I updated my mower to a cub cadet that I've fixing up but running the bike is definitely on my to do list. With the cam heavier springs billet flywheel and rod iam looking forward to winging the crap out it for sure.
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me.
@Matteo Brayden Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hey man I appreciate all your hard work and what you do and ask for those sponsorships you don't need them although they would probably make it better for your bills but I appreciate what you do.
Hey those guys who u bought the engine off of must be kicking themselves now. A 300 dollar motor in exchange for advertisement to over a quarter million people is a steal
Once carsandcameras loses popularity, that online retailer will beg to sponsor you. You’re head and shoulders better than those jokers. I love your videos 👍🏻
@Mike Haecker No need to slag off other You tubers. I love both C&C and Mike's channel, but both are quite different and have different build philosophies. A channel with nearly 1m subs is always going to get sponsored first and they can't sponsor everyone. Sometimes you are better off without it anyway.
Alan you’re right. I really do enjoy their videos as well. Their skills have improved over time. Mike just has a lot better skill set, and ability to explain things than c&c. In my opinion 👍🏻
@@Superb_Owl80 I've been subbd to c&c for a number of years now and do agree they've gotten a lot better over time. That's how fabricating stuff works, experience and trial/error. One thing I really miss about their old videos? Length. Find a recent video in thr past three years of a build that was over 13 minutes. There's not many, where in the drift trike days, they'd be 45 min build vids. Mike at least still does some longer stuff.
Great build, always nice to see affordable, fun stuff. The long inlet tract is always good for torque and that really suits the nature of the low revving engine.
I hear you on the sponsorship. Friends and I have put on minibike events, flown that same vendors banner, given away a banner for that vender, promote them on our insta, fb and yt and still when I call they just laugh. Great build though. Ive been looking for a frame to do the same thing with.
Go power sports will eventually sponsor you. You just need more content with their products. The guys that are sponsored by them have been doing this for over 7 years and they're name has gotten around. Keep up the good work and videos.
The issue with the long intake people are referring to is that you have a carb at the end of it, a long runner like that can allow the fuel to fall out of suspension in the air. Not likely to be an issue in your case, just some context.
Nice Job 👍. A few years back I converted a 1973 Honda XL100 for my ten year old son. I found an XL185 engine which I then converted with an XR200 barrel and carb. Really easy conversion and performance is markedly better. Still run around on it, My son’s now thirty and I have no doubt that when his son is born and old enough he’ll be riding it. (Time goes so fast)
I remember back in the day ( early to mid 90s) just trying so hard to get a 5hp Briggs to spin the tires on my mini bike. I learned a lot about gearing that summer😁
The predator motor has so much potential. The crazy stage 4 kits they have are insane..there are some great videos out there off those motors..but thanks for the video,nice build
Reason why I want it is it I can’t weld but have always wanted a predator dirt bike once I saw your vids. I got the stuff for it I just can’t weld so I figured I’d ask if you’d sell it. Got a motor and all for it. I would just need to buy the frame from you haha
After seeing your 1st video on this build I finally tracked down a 1987 yz125 as a roller. In the description your using an xr200 carb. Would you happen to know the bore size and jet? That 212 sounds strong! Any help would be greatly appreciated, keep up the great content Mike👍
There is something called the "super 30 series driver- The juggernaut" as a replacement front pulley. The other guys are all raving about it, it might help solve your issues. I think it sucks you were not offered some kind of a discount, if I am not mistaken this project had a shit-ton of views.
Definitely some cool builds that dirt bike rips hard af now! You definitely should be sponsored by that company ;-) Make sure you don't have any grease on the drive variator or the rear driven pulley or it will act weird with revving engagement RPMs, also I probably would have put that contra spring setting in the middle and see how that works since the engine makes a lot of power now and shifting a little sooner shouldn't be much of an issue.
At the time I ordered the parts last year my channel was about 25,000 and maybe they didn’t think it was worth it 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for checking out my new video!
That's sad about not getting sponsored or even discounted on the parts. You definitely have a great channel your videos are fine quality and the detail you cover on your builds is absolutely great. Keep up the good work.

That long intake is gonna give you alot of low end torque qich is good because thats not a high revving engine
It’s the opposite buddy shorter more bottom end and longer more top end.
@@EnginesbyAustin yours is right for exhaust long tube headers are for high rpms.. Intake is the opposite
@@EnginesbyAustin I believe you've got the two mixed up, long intake runners on 4strokes aid in low end tourque.
@@24BLUEELMO I have been running 125 flat head 1 cylinder 4 strokes for years at 10,000rpm my guy so I know I’m right and they are over 50years old

Them some clean welds tho🤩
Great build, always nice to see affordable, fun stuff. The long inlet tract is always good for torque and that really suits the nature of the low revving engine.

I have had my RUclips channel for over 7 years as well. At this point I would rather pay out of pocket then deal with Go power sports.
I prefer the guys like project farm that will not take sponsorship. Better reviews, not partial.
That would be "go power sports" that's a shame you deserve full sponsorship!!
Haha 😂 well at the time last year when I ordered the parts my channel was 25,000 so maybe they didn’t see the potential 🤷🏻♂️
Well hopefully they will now! I'm sure a bunch of us let them know about it 😂
Excellent video and glad you did NOT mention the source of your parts since YOU paid for them :).
What is the top speed on the bike?
Badass, I ordered a stage 2 kit like yours and narrowing a 2 seat go kart and putting some wide slicks for the street
this is awesome wish i had the skills and confidence to do this..
I'm gonna try soon

I’m wanting to do the exact same build with my dirt bike frame I have with a 212 predator. Kinda lost on how to mount the engine
Check out some of my other videos on this bike, I show how I make the engine mounts in the first video.
i did this on an xr 200 old bmx bike fork with plate welded on top made an awsome engine bracket looks clean too
Intake volume is a good thing for stronger engines, let the haters hate!
Nice vid! You just earned a new subscriber!
Right on! Thanks Lance 👍
No problem! I love this kind of stuff!
The predator motor has so much potential. The crazy stage 4 kits they have are insane..there are some great videos out there off those motors..but thanks for the video,nice build
How fast does this eat through belts? I have a few older rollers and would like to build a few to buzz around with my sons.
also interested in knowing how long the belts last
Really nice upgrade, enjoying the series. That thing rips pretty good, lol. Nice one!
4gett what they say bro thatz nicce im puttn a 212 on my son 500 electric dirt bike kuuuull keep itt upp bro
Still got the original pipe 😎 still looking awesome though what a great build amazing job !🙌
Put the ghost in it! Or continue to modify the current one. Orrrr even better, sell it to me and let me continue this awesome build!!
Reason why I want it is it I can’t weld but have always wanted a predator dirt bike once I saw your vids. I got the stuff for it I just can’t weld so I figured I’d ask if you’d sell it. Got a motor and all for it. I would just need to buy the frame from you haha
A modified predator like this is stronger than the ghost. The ghost is just a 212 with a stage 2 kit pre installed
Really enjoyed your first series of videos when you built that bike, so it's great to see more being done to it!! Very cool!
Thanks Trevor 👍 it’s been a fun little bike!
After seeing your 1st video on this build I finally tracked down a 1987 yz125 as a roller. In the description your using an xr200 carb. Would you happen to know the bore size and jet? That 212 sounds strong! Any help would be greatly appreciated, keep up the great content Mike👍
There is something called the "super 30 series driver- The juggernaut" as a replacement front pulley. The other guys are all raving about it, it might help solve your issues. I think it sucks you were not offered some kind of a discount, if I am not mistaken this project had a shit-ton of views.
That's a hemi engine nice
Definitely some cool builds that dirt bike rips hard af now! You definitely should be sponsored by that company ;-)
Make sure you don't have any grease on the drive variator or the rear driven pulley or it will act weird with revving engagement RPMs, also I probably would have put that contra spring setting in the middle and see how that works since the engine makes a lot of power now and shifting a little sooner shouldn't be much of an issue.
Damn i think i know who you were trying to get sponsered by and you think they would have got on board with ya.
At the time I ordered the parts last year my channel was about 25,000 and maybe they didn’t think it was worth it 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for checking out my new video!
