Thanks for the info and thoughts......The 2strokes are out of my budget. I have kinda thought about widening the two frame tubes but I doubt that I could bend them enough without damage to clear the 125 cylinder fins.It might be worth a shot since the frame is otherwise just scrap metal I...

I have been gone for a long time. Other things have gotten in the way. I am again looking to get me a project MB. For some reason I can not view any pics. I am an old fart and have not idea why I can't see any pics. Help

The Kawasaki 100 has 18" wheels and is not a mini bike as such. I have looked at the lifan motors but the cylinder will not fit between the front frame down tubes or I would like to make some adaptor mounts. That 125 would be a great motor to put into this frame and then it would have a...

I have an old 70's Kawasaki 100cc trail bike that has no motor. I have been thinking about installing a 212 Preditor. I suppose that a TC would be a much better option than a clutch. Has anyone ever done this. I am sorry if this is not the place for this and if it is just delete it. Thanks...

Amen.....garage queens are useless IMO

The aluminum valve cover is the ticket.....thanks

Motorheads are motorheads.

I just found one on egay but it looks just like any other 212 engine. How does one tell if he is getting a Hemi or not?

I have found this thread informative. Maybe it should be included in a tech area.

Is the Predator 212 the same engine as the Predator 212 hemi?

Why restore? It looks good as it is, at least for my shop. I'd ride it as is and be proud.

Just my opinion but I just hate those thumb throttles. The snowmobile crowd seems to like them but twist grip is much better for me.

Depending on when and where the MBM is held I would like to join in on the fun.

I rode one of these back in the mid 60's. It had a racing Mac engine on it with 3 carbs and reed valves. It was in the era of some heavy gocart racing and the guy that had it was a racer. It was quite fast and had great acceleration as well. I never got it to top speed but I am sure it would run...

Probably not the problem but frame flex will also allow the chain to come off. Just a thought. A loose motor or broken motor mount will also do the same as a frame flex
