So over in my restoration thread im finally fixing up a mini bike I got back in 2001-02ish well im like 80% done but Ive run into some fitment issues. I think most of these stem from the tire/rim size being to big.
1. the gas tank is really really close to the back tire making it so i have to position the engine in the fwd most spot.
2. The scrub brake pad in its stock form does not fit at all without much cutting. Again tires to big
3. I like the look of the bigger tires so im torn on whether I should do a PZ19 carb conversion with the addition of a remote tank also Id have to loose the 80 tooth sprocket
4. And this is purely cosmetic, Wife knocked over the bike in the garage and some how didn't realize she did it, all the gas spilled out ruining the paint on the tank and chipping the paint on the frame in several locations. Although rest assured it was ultimately my fault for putting it in a place it would get knocked over..... some of you may be able to relate.
Im sure some of you all have had these problems I am so grateful for you all thus far your wisdom and insight has been Paramount for me.
