Got the Mikuni VM26-606 carb jetted in. It came with a 190 main jet, and have worked it down to 120. In preparation for the drag race, a HondaTB roller-rocker race head, cylinder, piston, stroker crank, heavy duty autoclutch, high volume oil pump, and intake were used in CRF50 cases. A Takegawa high flow petcock, air filter and side stand were added. The stock day-glo fuschia tank logo says party like its 1999.
The over-long Takegawa alloy swingarm and Yoshimitsu shocks. The crazy gear ratio makes for a little chain slap.
ATC70 repop headlight with a new element in it. Ugly but bright. A rare BBR drum brake pedal can be seen poking out from under the pegs. Some aluminum pegs will be found to replace the stock steel ones. A manual clutch set-up is being contemplated. Although stock in appearance, the exhaust is a larger diameter reproduction.
A custom magneto cover allows for easy sprocket changes.
The Kitaco alloy rims are a full 10 ounces lighter apiece than the steel ones.
Trading out the 35T for a 24T rear sprocket. Some off the line acceleration will be lost, but these bikes get to top speed in a short distance, so I'm thinking top speed will be the determining factor.
The Hater in form for the 4th of July parade in Arlington, Tx.
Yes we are grown men riding parades on minibikes in Elvis costumes...what's not to like?
The view from the rear that I am hoping will be etched into my competitors brain.
