Width?
Yellowhand: it appears that you're a lean, mean, welding machine there... any suggestions about making a frame wider in the rear for a bigger tire??? Length is easily do-able, but what about width????? :huh:
I'll post a pic of the motor, but trust me on this one... it doesn't look like anything special... it's a true sleeper/screamer... and somewhere I have a tuned expansion chamber type pipe for it as well... that boosts it an additional 5-8hp.
I only wish they had sanctioned mini drags around...
VERY creative little bikes!! I'm kinda doubting that mine would/could ever be street legal when done though... I'm thinking short diameter WIDE go-kart slick for the rear in order to hook up.
Motor is from a 'modified' class racing kart.... only winds out to about 6500 reliably, although we...

This thing...
Howdy all... I'll be visiting this place a lot since I've discovered it!! Possibly, I'll even build some satanic minibike with the leftover parts I have lying about... never too old for this silliness!!!!
OK. Attached are a few pictures of a beast I just dragged out of a fellows basement...
