Muncie Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 I've been looking for suitable frames go kart mini chopper etc either too expensive or too stuffed rusty shocks etc. Keen to keep the stand up frame theme going makes for real fun riding because you can use your whole body to throw it around it just needs more power! The engine will be getting sunk a lot lower into a lengthened frame. Fully intend it to blaze tyres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Few more parts acquired this week bought a mini chopper swing arm to save work lengthening it. Quick mock up will move engine back further gain some deck room back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 New tyres cheap as chips for this size rim can get highway rated one's too. Don't like my chances of getting this registered or lams approved. 610cc moped reg might be pushing shit up hill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 New project name. DONOR BIKE.

Nice and positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Bought these to sort the ugly intake situation. 2 spare if anyone is keen? Bought a centrifugal clutch to get it running couldn't justify the extra $130 for the Cvt just yet Will have plenty of grunt to counter the tallish gearing anyway. Might be a bit easier to control while pulling wheelies too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 @Muncie what size motor were the carbs off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're off a FZR400 that no doubt would scream to at least 10,000rpm so by my maths a v-twin that might see 5000rpm rarely should get plenty of air and fuel by 2 of these.

Muncie Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Just doing a tally up of all the parts and realised I need a fuel tank of some sort and a brake caliper. Fuel tank Will have to go under the deck so could be quote long 450ish mm's and 3-3.5 inches round anyone got anything suitable?? Old fire extinguisher used disposable welding gas bottle maybe. Getting my mig gas bottle filled at moment then it's full steam ahead as I want to be hooning around after Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Actual proportions now lots to do still but it's getting there everything is where it's staying, front wheel hasn't been changed out yet but is sitting at the height it'll end up at. Had to borrow a gas bottle to do the welding it is coming together nicely and has as much or more deck to stand on, Still only 1200mm long so should fit in my wagon with handle bars off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 More done today to tie the back end to the frame and have something to lift it into my car by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Engine dropped a little bit further now. Starting to think about front forks with a bit more meat so I can run brakes Plastic front wheel will be going and swapped out for a wheel similar to the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Engine on and off a zillion times trying to take my time so it doesn't end up a ballache to work on. Oh yeah mikuni time took 2 off so now have spares. If anyone can identify these going to order rebuild kits for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Mmm carbys Got some eBay filters coming for these.

Muncie Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Rigged up a throttle chucked a helmet on and dared to go up the road. Centrifugal clutch doesn't bite till about 2500rpm sounds like a serious hi stall makes all kinds of v twin noise by then and so much effortless torque. Parked it then hear Harleys revving up over the hill think I've been noticed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
