Goat Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Why would you want to repower it? haha I mean the carburettor is built into the crank case and had fins cast into it. i mean, come on!! And its 2stroke ftmfw. Sweet man, where did you get it from (i only looked at the pics ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Repower only in consideration... approx 6hp (9hp stamp is apparently a lie haha) standard could be a little... um... underwhelming haha. There is a 175cc version of the engine which is otherwise identical... including the great fins et al. yup looking forward to satin black and cherry ride to the cafe machine with plumes of 2 Smoke... woohoo Got it off trademe, dude down in Welly... Was way too tempted just to throw a battery and gas in it and leave it as it is... Hence it is now in boxes in the garage waiting to be, stripped (acid/sand etc) then the frame off to the powder coaters and the all the panels prepped for paint... will worry about engine laters.

Was hell tempted to roll as it is "Rat" Style (cringe at following cool trendzzzzzzzzz haha) but needed to do something to it for some content on the website hence another "cool" trend follow situation... 50's rod stz lol Will tidy up and put it all back together... maybe 12V conversion and pimp around at low speed smokin' the place up a bit woohoo. Worry about new engines later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 go cafe racer style, will be mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 wow that does look pretty badass but I couldn't possibly do away with the fantastic fenders and whatnot... let alone the chrome tank haha. Have sourced a 250cc that will bolt in and should still look the part so that will improve somewhat on the performance factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
