Hey guys, new poster here. Ive been reading the forums for quite some time now. Anyway, I am in the process of drawing up a custom mini bike in 3d studio max just to get a idea of how I want to build my mini over the coarse of the next few months. In order to do this, i need to know the size of the Gx200 as my bike willl be clone powered simply for cost reasons. I have googled it a few times, and what I find I think are shipping crate size because i know the engine is not THAT big. If somebody with the engine, or similar would be so kind to give me a couple rough measurements ..that would make my week.
Alrite since this type of thing is fairly new to me. I will post a few more questions hoping for a answer also. I hope this is the right section of the forum for these questions. It looks like I am going to use the AZ10154 - 10" Steel Wheel w/Riveted #35 Sprockets & Drums-60 Tooth, 5/8" Bearing wheel on rear of the bike. With the drum brake I hope to fab up a pedal instead of hand controls. My questions though is for the front of the bike, is there a minibike wheel made that works with a disc brake? I do understand most of these bikes do not have front brakes...however I want to try something new. My original thought was to use 10 inches wheels off a scooter, which comes with disc in front and drum in the rear. The problem I for see with that, most of them bearings amd weldments would not be "off the shelf" requiring lots of custom parts...which I dont have the garage for. Again I could be wrong. Certainly wouldnt be the 1st time. I have not decided on gearing, I do believe I will use a jackshaft to make gear tuning a bit easier. I want the taller wheels mostly for aesthetics; big wheels..smaller bike..looks cool to me. Along with that the 10inch wheels allow me to use a scooter type road tyre, which most of my riding will be in parking lots..."craving corners." I will certainly post pictures of my design in 3d max once I get something close.
Any input you experts have would be great.
Thanks guys. Sorry for the epic long post.
