Nice!! That's what's it's all about man. Hope she enjoys it.....it will make some great memories for sure for her.

My point is they are talking about gas cap issue and not being able to remove it. There is no such issue at all, I don't want it to deter others from doing a TC install, it's a night and day difference.

That's an old video, 1.5" raise is WAY to much. There is no issues when raising it 1" whatsoever. A TC is an easy install, just raise and install kit.

Trial and error is the name of this game!! Powder coating is going to look sweet!

Ahhh ok that's good, I had suggested the offset filler neck on that tank awhile back but you already had the new one. Sometimes they make it easier to fill in tight clearance spots. In your case it would have been outside the frame. So when is the reveal Bday?

Do you still have it so the cap is blocked?

I have a mock up pic in our ct200 group , it's a tight to frame long snake exhaust with muffler.

Stock gearing I doubt, like you said 10:1...so even removing the governor I think the motor would run out of steam before 35mph. You need the long stretch to get there, like 8:1 minimum, 7.2:1 even better Now that the nice weather is here, I have to take some pics and post them.

On this forum, if you don't build a vintage bike nobody inputs feedback. I noticed this so I took my Chinese bike in a group, since it was shunned upon for a sub section, and everyone has positive feedback there. As a father, you know what will make your little girl happy, and although posting...

Easy task, Iv done several stems like so.......get a long metal stake. I used a lawn stake from HF I had laying around. Insert it from the top, then angle to assure you touching bottom bearing surface. 1 hard hit with small sledge and out she flies. Now insert stake from bottom and again angle...

Mount a flat plate so you can position it 90 degrees, and buy there offset filler tank. It will then be outside the frame.

I hear ya, Iv built motors for imports myself since I was a teen. It's just scary to let's say....snap a bolt with a ratchet , then wonder what that bolt would do under a real load. Real cars to mini's are way different but I'd rather not have a rear sprocket come flying off at 3600 rpm or 5k...

I don't know, I don't use Chinese bolts that come with it. I don't trust Chinese wheel axles or anything that's a safety issue. Do what you want lol, it's your life. When I'm riding down the road at 40mph I don't have to worry. "Hardware grade" is a grade 2, I didn't suggest that. I said 5 or...

I personally wouldn't use anything but grade 5 or higher. Stainless is a very soft metal that shears pretty easy. Maybe a zinc coated bolt or oil and phosphate would help with rust.

Has anyone rebuilt or taken apart the mbx11 forks??
