      Harbor Freight has sold the Predetor 212cc for a long time, for around 100$.
      You can purchase these in bulk on Alibaba.com for around 30$ a piece.
      GoPowerSports is a China reseller who puts an "American Made" spin on their Chinese clone copies of general Minibike/gokart accessories for 3x or more than ebay/harbor freight.
      Keep in mind, some of these are chinese produced clones of foreign and domestic(USA) products.

    What most people will overlook miss or not be aware of, these videos are made with special attention given and details provided for tips and tricks not mentioned in other videos of the same variety. He doesn't show things that EVERY other RUclipsr has covered already. He will show him doing it but he doesn't drag it out and repeat what has been said hundreds of times already. When comes time for a RUclips first tip or trick he wants to show he then slows his hands down and explains in more detail. Hard work.

    Seriously ..use a Supertrapp brand muffler on the end of your pipe: quieten it down for the law/neighbours.And it's 1/2 a glasspack with a dimpled disc system you can add more for louder exhaust & more Top end HP or tune your carb total flow by lessening disc's to add more low end torque & quieten your exhaust down Some more.MX 4 Strokes used to use them for fine tuning (Google the name) or pop a little glasspack cherrybomb type muffler on the pipe.Take the bark out & add a smooth sound with NO restriction.Cheers Trev NZ

    You can also put four spare tires the yellow ones like I did on the car. I even removed the two front brake rotors for a few Months very dangerous. The spare the spare rim and tire weighSeveral pounds less and they last about 2000 miles.That reduces Rotating mass times four The weight you takeoff that spins.The two brake rotors were 15 pounds together. I also put a front bumper to back bumper under tray one piece 12 foot long of tufftex.And I’ve got a boat tail 6 feet long.
