Jake,
I have the Trailmaster MB200-2 and really enjoy it. I am only 5' 10", but I am 200lb and it has no problem hauling my fanny around. The suspension would easily handle you without bottoming out. The TAV is awesome. The brake (rear drum only) is the weak point. I put the EBC grooved pads...
coupeowner 2008 Bashan Snap On Mini Chopper
Not really old, but..........124cc, 4-speed, electric start, hydraulic disc brakes. Supposedly 1200 made to roughly emulate the OCC Snap On build (Season 2 - American Chopper). They were given away as promo items. Street legal.
Did it show up yet? I am still loving mine. No real issues yet. Make sure everything is torqued and tight when you get it. My TAV was about to fall off after the 1st ride (I couldn't wait to take it for a first spin - but should have). Congrats!
Divouneh,
Cool project! Would you mind taking shots of your front and rear tires (at operating pressure) from above so I could get an idea of the profile? Something like this:
Love that rear tire!
I think this is the video 2SlickNick is referring to:

A good shot of the tire at 0:52. Looks like a really good street option.
As FOMOGO mentioned, the hemi and clone flywheels are not the same taper. Unfortunately the cranks are also not an easy swap (longer stroke). I believe you will need a Kohler flywheel to work on the hemi crank.
Tom,
Saw that on Thursday and am so glad that you picked it up! If you got it for even less than they were asking then you scored! Really looking forward to seeing it progress.
Awesome build! Great vision and skills. The handlebars, the seat, the sissy bar, the tank, that rear tire/wheel - all very cool. Keep the photos coming please, and thank you for sharing!
Let us know if NR does right on that camshaft. I have never had a problem with his stuff and would like to know how he deals w/something like this. Congrats on the motor!
Go with the EBC set FOMOGO noted. The EBC's are a big step up from the original set. The springs attach differently (forming an "X"), but they work just fine and are a great replacement. You can also get them off of amazon for a bit less. Just search for EBC 304G.
