That's a real nice looker. Looks tough. Go anywhere you want.

Dang man that is a bad customer there, the wheels and tires define it I think. I like Azusas, you did a good job on yours! I bet it flies with the 6.5 on it.:thumbsup:

Wow

That's a very clean look :thumbsup:

Nice Job!! Looks real mean!!! :thumbsup:
I see the frame, forks, and handlebars were beefed up with support tubes.
And I like the added foot pegs too.

Thanks guy's.
I whish it was powder coated, but nobody does powder coating localy.
I tested it around the block only, just finished today. The real test will come when I take it to a ranch, will see if it works as good as it looks.
My next step is to fine tune the carburator, change to a better spark plug. Right now it's easy to pop wheelis, I have no idea of the top speed but I will check it tomorrow (If I have good brakes).

Thanks again

Nice bike man. I love the color, and you can't go wrong with 8'' wheels. Bet it cruzes good.

Looks rugged, Nice job!

 

[Clayon]

Okay...mow the clone needs some speed goodies. :thumbsup:

 

[Square_Chopper]

Great looking bike! Nice colors too! :thumbsup:

man that looks fun to ride with those big tires. here's a thought all that room in front of the seat you should put a gas tank there.

 

[zaskar14]

I know, that's in my list of upgrades along with a Torque Converter.
Thanks for your input.

Looks clean. I would suggest painting the shroud and tank. Black:shrug:

 

[zaskar14]

Yes, that would look great. I would like to paint the motor, shroud and tank Black, but I think I would have to do a lot of disasembly. Probably easier to purchase a new Predator motor.

Thanks

 

[blkscorpion80]

That would work too. Although painting the two I mentioned shouldnt be to much trouble.

 

[buckeye]

I knew something was not quite right. Certainly not knocking your fine build, but I agree. Paint those engine components. Easy done in afternoon, unless you are laxy as I.

 

[zaskar14]

I am lazy - But you are correct, it would look a lot better, I will get it done first chance I get.

Ok - I tested the Mini this morning to check the top speed and I got 29 MPH (on the street) Not bad considering the setup and a completely stock motor. 29 MPH is enough, specialy for off road riding.

The chain keeps getting loose, I have adjusted that a couple of times and I keep having the same problem. Last time I torqued the bolts pretty tight but still having the same problem.

Thanks

Bike looks great man! you did a great job...needs a Flathead Briggs thoght.. :thumbsup:

 

[buckeye]

Might need one of them fancy smancy skate board chain tensioners. Someone just did a thread about them. Might keep it from loosening.
