A billet flywheel, carb and intake. Plus a decent exhaust and relocate the starting switch and key. And remove the governor you probably have, but with a stock flywheel doing 55 detonation is a strong possibility. Nice build a lot of potential.
My only complaint was there no possible way to get the motor more centered an maybe use a jack shaft setup to bring the chain back in line from the offset with the rear sprocket
You can get a reversible clutch so the teeth are closer to the engine so it doesn't stick out so much. I tend to use the heavy duty clutches that are not reversible and only fit one way. Yes a jackshaft would help center things better.
that is really cool, excellent work throughout. Not sure if it matters but the fuel filter looks upside down. Alao like how you improvised around the lack of stator.
I agree with keeping the motor stock (though a muffler for better sounds) but a torque converter is a must. It will improve acceleration and make it ride smoother.
Nice bike my neighbor has a motorcycle frame with both wheels no motor no gas tank.im going to ask if he will sell it so I can mount a 212 predator engine
I had 2 Arc billet rods installed into two different engines. One installation was by a professional and the other one was not and they both ended up blowing holes in the blocks. I don't mind using other parts that are billet but I refuse to use the billet rods because the stock ones just work and I never have had a flywheel explode either. Not to say it'll never happen but I definitely don't trust those billet rods anymore. You don't need an oil cooler especially when the motor is already forced air cooled. I've never had one of these engines overheat and that's using them for years in the Vegas summer.
Looks like you kept the governor? Geared to go 55, how is it off the line? Good enough low end to put into an Enduro bike? Any plans for a torque converter? Looks awesome man .
If i keep it, It will get the torque converter treatment. the govenor on all of my 420 engines are bypassed. Ive been running clutches for a long time however from now on they will all have a tc installed on future projects.
@@joeyserpa9779 CVTs and torque converters are not the same. People call these 30 series and 40 series "torque converters" but they are actually just simple CVT transmissions, just like on a quad or snowmobile. They can be just as fast as a clutch in most scenarios if geared correctly (plus having a CVT allows for more aggressive gearing than you can do with a single-speed clutch) but they do suffer from higher drivetrain loss.
I start off with a front end that already has a Nevada title. I don't have to have it inspected and I just registered it as whatever the front end was originally attached to. This particular bike was registered as a 125 Kawasaki Eliminator. Same with the insurance. Basically the VIN number is on the neck on most motorcycles.
The front end was originally a 2001 Kawasaki eliminator 125, that is what the custom motorcycle was registered and insured as. I moved to Utah a few months ago and registered a homemade bike here the same way. Basically start off with a front-end that has a title already.
@@custombikesandtrikes4374 so it's registered as a motorcycle or as a "motorized cycle"/moped. Where I live you can register a motorcycle under 5 hp or a motorized bicycle as a "motorized cycle" and not need a motorcycle license.
@@shaundevan1525 yes, whatever motorcycle that you cut the front end off of because the neck has the VIN number attached to it. That will be what you register and insure regardless of the motor that you install in your homemade creation.
That front end came off of a Kawasaki eliminator 125. So that is what is registered and insured as. Basically whatever front-end you end up using obviously has the VIN number on the neck and whatever that bike was, that is what you insure and register.
There are two ways to combat that problem. Building a project with a wider tire will bring the motor in or using a clutch that could be mounted inboard or outboard that way the clutch teeth are closer to the engine. Either way will help move the engine in. If you get ambitious you can put a jack shaft in also.

That's exactly what I'm building right now dude
Dude. You did great on this.
Thanks, simple and clean.
More reliable than an OCC chopper.
That's why I like those motors, simple and very little to go wrong with them.

If you turned the clutch around and put the gear closer to the motor. The engine could be moved to the left about an 1 1/2”

Woow great job. You are very creative.

Predator 670 +motorcycle transmission gearbox will look sweet on this thing
The guy that took it off my hands did put a 670 in it.
@@custombikesandtrikes4374 does he have a yt channel or some pic of it would love to see the 670 chopper
That's cool af.
Thanks, it doesn't exist anymore but it was very nice looking.
You need the billet parts and it will stay together. Maybe an oil cooler.

you need a 40 series cvt and that will shorten the chain while giving you a higher top end
Cvts are torque converters, meaning they give you torque and have no top end at all, it’ll get you to speed quickly but die once you hit 30-45

Хороший аппарат.

Needs a 670
The guy that got it from me did put a 670 in it.
What did you have to do to get the bike registered? As I am getting ready to do the same with a vegas carts 460cc

You should stuff a 670 in there 😈
The guy who owns it now, does have 670 in it.

What size clutch and chain
10 tooth heavy duty clutch., 420 chain or 40/41 chain they're both the same thing.
The motor is hanging out too far..

Yea just turn the clutch around . Worked for me
@@chrismarusic4277 that particular clutch is not reversible, it's tapered down to one end.
