I picked up a Nice motor from a fellow PM member (thanks Justin) and am almost ready to fire her up. Oil cooler is way snug with the stock shoes but I will be swapping that out soon with some offset tripples and inverted forks. I am anxious to hear it run with my new pipe!

70 mph on stock 10" wheels with drum brakes is going to be fun!
if i make it out to moto gp i hope to see it in person.

gstegman

LOL, that will get swapped soon I hope. I just want to run it and mock a few others goodies up before I strip the frame for the powder coater. I hope to have a real life build here real soon.

That is absolutely badass.

What motor used to be in it?

RcWannabe

That exhaust system is a work of art.

Nice Nice motor. I would invest in a better back shock. Stock one really sucks.

Thanks, I did have a Lifan 150 with the Dayton-ish looking side cover. I had good luck with that motor, just wanted something a little stronger and better suited for the long haul.

I am having a hell of a time deciding on a rear shock since Ohlin's are not to be had. I'm just not sure what I'll end up with.

I still need to find a few odds and ends before then the real fun begins...

Well I got to ride it a little today. Still have more jetting to do (bain of my life) but over all I was very pleased. Here is a quick clip although the audio sucks.

love video sharing. thanks

is it bogging in the video?

gstegman

Superness550,
No, the DVR is in a cloth bag and that is inside a fanny pack. It is only picking up the louder sounds (and of course wind). I backed off the throttle when I noticed my old crusty neighbor step out and give me the stink eye.

It's not perfectly jetted but close enough to give me a sense of how it runs.

I was on my way to hit a canyon by my house for some twisties when I noticed my shifter getting sloppy. Then I reach for a gear and my shift lever was GONE! The allen for the push rod from my over rearsets vibrated out(shifter swinging down low) but thankfully I found it with almost zero damage. Lesson learned and I am very pleased with the motor. Thanks Dan, Brad and Justin.

over or g-craft triples? that's the spy shot i've been waiting for.

gstegman

G-craft with the required offset. I am kind of stumped on the kick stand. Looks like some serious tweaking is in order to clear the rearsets....

cyclerider57

I think I recognize those wheels and tires. Very purdy! That's gonna be a hell of a bike.

Oh, this is going to be sooooooo sweet. USD forks? nice.

gstegman

Indeed, they have your prints!

The forks are KSR.

tmas

Some real nice parts. I foresee a future FOTM recipient.

My yellow CT70 is 10's with and has a top speed of 74mph. Rear is still a drum. I think its more important to fix the suspension.

gstegman

I hear ya and to compound the issue, I am clocking in at 200 lbs these days. What are guys that were not lucky enough to get Ohlins running for rear shocks?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated as rear shock is one of the major items I am missing.
