    Bonanza MX seat pan and foam

    I have what I believe is the original seat pan and foam to my Bonanza MX.. I don't have the original handlebars gas tank rear rim rear fender and probably a host of other parts including the engine so no sense in trying to do an OE restoration.. if I just needed two or three parts that would be...

    Is this an original Bonanza seat foam?

    Thank you! I'll go ahead and start a for sale thread today now that I'm sure of what I have. And yes I've definitely taken some very close up pictures and it definitely needs repairs. The front bolt is broken off and needs repair its had a zillion self tapping screws shot through the bottom of...

    Is this an original Bonanza seat foam?

    I purchased and fixed up a bonanza MX recently... I know I'll never take it to a full oe restoration so no sense in this extra part going to waste... But before I go put a for sale thread on this I don't want to be fooling anybody or myself into thinking it's something that it's not. I am...

    Rear brake kit

    I think I got to agree with lizardking here... Do we want to try and chop up a $5 Amazon lever, or do we want to chop up the minibike itself?.... I'm a firm believer in KISS....

    Rear brake kit

    I just signed up for this forum a couple weeks ago and you'll find answers come few and far between if it all... I noticed everything comes in 7/8 mostly what I believe is bicycle handlebar thickness. I had the same problem so I got an aluminum brake lever off of Amazon for less than $10 for two...

    Gear ratios vs tire size?

    Ok.. I had a little break through.. I bought a clutch for the cheeftah and tried it on the bananza.. BONGO!!... I knew right away it had a much higher stall. Still having high idle problems.. I did notice when I leaned it to the left or right it would idle up or it would stall..? Seems like...

    Gear ratios vs tire size?

    I guess that's what I was saying I did. When I said I put all the old stuff back on for the throttle and tried it that way.. No never tried to Greyhound...

    Gear ratios vs tire size?

    Well I didn't have my gear yet this morning so I tried putting the old throttle configuration as in how it was when it was a pressure washer just taking the pressure off the lever hooking a throttle cable to it and the return spring.. look a little odd as if it was stuck full throttle? And then...

    Not sure??..

    okay well I tried putting the plate and hooking everything back up like it was when it ran the pressure washer. I just loosened up the action on the throttle put a spring on it and hope the throttle cable to it. The kind of looked as if it was like wide open throttle but I said what the heck let...

    Not sure??..

    Are you saying I should drill a hole maybe and put the cable over in the spot that I marked with the red circle and the arrow pointing to it?... I'm definitely not trying to override anything and make it dangerous...

    How tall is a totally stock Predator - 212cc Engine?

    I know mine had a Greyhound in it when I got it and it was according to the previous owner a real trick to get the fuel tank cap off. I've got just a hair under 14 in and it just barely fit in there and I'm pretty sure that's a clone of the predator or vice versa... I would be surprised if you...

    Not sure??..

    I'm not sure if I have this hooked up right? I can give a picture of the way it was stock and the way I hooked it up... That seems quite jumpy and doesn't quite run right? I did get a new carburetor for it and it runs. It will go down to a soft idol and it will go wide open and go faster than I...
