She gonna be street legal? Had a CT 70 back in the day,sure was fun,even with the gutless 70 motor,this with the 125 should be alot more fun.

 

street legal?!

 

You should sell those like crazy for the summer in Provo!

 

These are 49 state street legal sorry CA, not yet.

 

wow does that mean there legal in nj ? how bout the x4 ?

Anything is possible!!

 

Free bump......Still hate you.....



Wish these were available last year before I Bought My Lifan ct clone...

 

available in a roller?

 

Are you going to offer them with better tires rather then the dirtbike tires that are too small for those rims? I'd swap to a larger and better tire if those bikes are spec'd with those. At minimum, a 3.5X10 or 4.00X10, or 110/80/10 front and rear. Minimum!



I'd also change out the front brake line to one that is stainless braided and figure out a way to make those front forks decent for the average sized adult. Most of our European brothern are forced to run 90wt gear oil in those to make them safe at higher speeds.



On your rear hub, make sure the area where the lock ring goes (to hold on the rear sprocket) is steel and not aluminum. If the shoulder where the lock ring goes that holds on the sprocket is not steel, you will seriously put your customers at risk. The ringland area will let go and the sprocket will detach and could cause catastrophic injury. Hopefully that has been addressed as well.



If you make those minor changes, the bike will be much better out of the crate for your customers.

 

Not to dis the Pister Mini Trail (I plan to buy one) but Z seems to know his stuff, could you offer an upgrade on the brake line or show where to get one that fits properly? I don't know about the other stuff though, hopefully the shocks aren't a problem, I'm really skinny.

Glad you post that info Dan, Im gonna buy one, maybe 2 after those changes have been made.



This will be my FIRST Pitster if he upgrades those you mentioned.

I will take a real close look at it tomorrow, anything else you think I should look at and report back?,



I can say , the are a blast to ride, and are wheelie machines!! Takes me back to the seventies!!

If they are wheelie machines, post up the front and rear sprocket sizes. my guess is the sprocket is too small in the front and the rear is too big. Most of the chinese bikes I've seen are still geared like a true dirtbike rather then a dualsport trail bike for road use. And with a low front fender, it's more of a roadbike since the chinese patterned it after the 1995 Honda AB26 12V Dax.



Have Gary Send me one to test and I'll give you a full report and will tell you exactly what needs to be changed. It will have to be gratis as I need another bike like a hole in the head.

 

It does have alot of front wheel travel for a trail bike, The 125 manual that we have seems to have alot of kick!! I have not ran it down the road yet just been around the parking lot,,,, I think tomorrow it needs some "testing" LOL, Just to be sure of the gearing, I am also sure Gary will see your gracious offer as well.



I keep asking to put a 192cc V2 headed beast in it, but so far , he has not said "go".

 

The earlier replicas have a very thin sprocket retainer land area on the rear hub. It has been known to crack over time and can cause rear wheel lock up at speed. The Sprocket can walk out of the hub and bind against the swingarm.



All of the later ones I have come across have heavier 1/8th" ring land area so there seemed to be a running change away from the 1/16th" land sometime before my 2008 lifan was made in late 07.



A few weeks ago when I bought my Used hooper z50 replica I saw a 2005 redcat brand (Lifan) that had the thick retainer land area so it must have been implemented around then at least.



In Jan I almost bought a Earlier Jincheng it had a rather thin ring land area. Good looking bike, but I know for a fact the thin ones can and do break.



The Original honda has a steel insert and just doesn't have this problem.



Slap on a 17 front and 32 rear and you'll be sitting at 60 + mph easy.

 

EEESH! On the PP site is shows the gearing at 16 front and 39 rear... YIKES!!!



17 and 32 FTW!!! Especially if it is going to be primaraly a street bike.



Even with that gearing it will wheelie on command!

 

must be a misprint, I think it is a 35 or 36 rear, i will double check.

 

If you are taking recommendations for these things, I agree on the wheels for sure. I'd probably run 120/80-10 front and rear kenda dual sport tires on there if you can get them or the same ones that came on the pitster motards.



Its interesting that you haven't updated to a disc front while sporting a motor capable of going 60mph.



Last request...will it be available as a roller?



BTW, I have a gpx177v2 stuffed in my 1971 ct70. Fun times.

I think the disc that is up front is a tad bit strong,, can you say stoppies!!

 

How are the swingarm bushings? The Hooper Imports units I got to play with a couple years back had plastic bushings that wallowed in about 5 seconds, made riding interesting... get on the throttle and it'd want to turn one way, let off and suddenly it's trying to go the other way...

 

My drums do ok actually, Im pretty happy with them.



I would like to upgrade to a disc front end though.

Bring some parts over too pitster!!

 

If you want something different for one of these pitster has one set of UPS forks, with compression and rebound , front disc wheel, trees and even the fold down bars .
