Hi jbrocks,

I saw where you mentioned using a 72t rear wheel sprocket on, what I think you mean, was a Coleman CT200 mini bike. I've been looking for something like this for better steep-trail hill climbing. Was it the Coleman, & if so, where did you get the sprocket? I'm using the factory jackshaft arrangement 10->20/<?>->50t rear (#420 chain).

monsterscooterparts.com gives the rear sprocket specs as: center hole dia: 1-9/16", mounting hole dist: 3-1/8".

Thanks!

Hey ridgebuddy! That Bad Dog is very cool, got a Tecumseh 10hp Snow King engine with Comet TAV Torque Converter. It's a torque monster, top speed not as fast as my Lil Indians, but does 35mph by my GPS. Takes hills like nothin'. It's a big bike, really a full size bike in the shape and configuration of a minibike. What hasn't been done so far is to put a Predator 420cc engine in it. It would be challenging because you definitely need a TAV with tires that big and a 1" crank, but if you figured it out I think you'd get way more out of it than the Tecumseh. Good luck!:thumbsup:
