Another Street Legal Mini

[HondaFiddyMan]

Can anyone speak to the actual internal gear reduction on this motor?



If I could find that out, it would be possible to use some of these online speed/gearing calculators.



Matified- can you answer this for me?

The first of 2 Kitaco orders arrived today...



*New Kickstarter (for some reason I have loved the look of this kicker since first seeing it years ago, now I finally have one)



*26T rear sprocket.



That is down 2T from the 28T I am running now, hoping for more speed, less RPM's.



The Kitaco tuck and roll racing seat will be here mid-week next week.



After I get all the new parts on I will snap a few updated pics.



That will include, trimmed rear fender, kicker, J hanger and the new seat.



A few pics of the parts and a preview of the seat coming.

The professional bikini model missed the shoot last night- typical.



I decided to move forward with the shots anyway since it was already setup. Hope you enjoy the pictures and please let me know if you have any feeback or ideas on future changes... a project is never truly "finished".



Dan-O, I will get an actual riding video posted up as the fly-by's are such a tease.

Also,



I am not sure why a few of the pictures are not facing upright as they are saved into my computer that way. Perhaps that is an iPhone shortcoming over a Driod..?

i would powdercoat the wheels black or gold.... if was mine... other than that Looks Awesome!

[HondaFiddyMan]

Thanks!



I have black ones too, but decided on these for the time being.



At some point (when I swap out motors) this bike will go much more custom than it is now. When I do that I will be looking for a more aggressive style tire/wheel combo as well as a longer shock/swinger combo.



I am trying to look as straight up as I can until the local authorities are used to seeing me blasting around the hood on something more insane looking.



A few years ago pocketbikes- and stupid people riding them on the street really gave the pitbikes a bad name in our area. A few deaths in Texas and our city created new legislation for motorcycles/scooters and the smoke is still clearing on all that stuff..

Seat arrived today. Once again, I am blown away by the quality of the Kitaco products.



I'm pumped to get this installed on the bike.

Tell me about it.... i used to live in Dallas from 2001 to 2009..... All the stunt guys bought 50ies and run on the streets 5-6 years ago... i was more into Supermoto Racing back then... worked for AMS Ducati in Dallas.

[HondaFiddyMan]

WOW!



Dallas to Greece- that has to be a bit of a culture shock.



I wish the "true" mini scene was bigger in the city of Dallas... The Cafe bikes have really picked up downtown and it's pretty sweet to see that culture growing here.



There are a ton of MX guys doing the pitbike stuff on dirt, but few street legal bikes out on the roads that I know of.

Well i came to US for studies then got a Job then i said , %$#& it i miss Greece.. came back here... wrong time.. Now all economic hell broke Loose!

[HondaFiddyMan]

Not too much of an update, but I did snap a quick photo of the bike with the new seat mounted up over the weekend.



I have also ordered a lightened steel slinger from T-Bolt and the X Cooler as well. Thanks for answering all my questions Vince! As always your service and knowledge are top notch.



I will get some more updates once the cooler and slinger arrive.

Edit: Sorry that the photo is so large and skewed. iPhone.

[HondaFiddyMan]

I installed the lightened (steel) slinger this weekend. The machining work was really good on this piece- I recommend it if your motor also runs a slinger stock. It was much lighter than stock and certainly smaller as you can see from the picture attached. The motor feels much snappier now, but I havent lost the bottom end pull since I have the stock flywheel on the motor. Not really planning on doing any swaps on that side of the crank.

Nice work on the bike. Makes me want to build one.

What size is that kicker? I have a YX140 and need to replace the stock crappy kicker for a better one.

I cant seem to find it on their website.

[HondaFiddyMan]

Its a long sweep version from Kitaco.

CHP minis is the site I ordered from.

[69z50]

would that seat work with a gorilla on a stock 82 z50r frame?

[HondaFiddyMan]

Not sure. I think my bike is a +3cm frame and its a tough fit... Sorry I can't better answer your question regarding the stock setup.

-HFM

[nielspbr]

Tankmountpoints and seatmountpoints should be the same, honda or copy. (Only the neck of the copy frame is longer for the fitment of the longer 125 engine. Clearance head <=> tire)

[HondaFiddyMan]

Wow... I just reread through this thread and realized I havent been around my bike or this site in quite some time.

I plan on getting a new ext swinger and some new rolling rubber this summer. Its pretty warm here already so I have given the bike some much needed rest. I put over 1400km on the odo since late winter last year, but its time to take off the cover, change the oil and get back on the streets.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Ready to see some more changes! Where did you buy that seat from, again?

wanna sell some wheels?

[Victor94]

hey where did you get your windscreen?

The seat came from Webike Japan (Kitaco brand). I still have the wheels, and will sell them gladly... life has been happening lately so minis took a backseat. I havent forgotten about you on those.

More changes to come sooner than later- I promise.

[HondaFiddyMan]

The windscreen also came from Webike. It was cheap and I still like the look of it, but I really feel like its too much of a bog on the top end. You can really feel the air hitting the front of the bike at 55-60 and it does (like Dan-O predicted) push bugs under the chin of my helmet as well-yuck.
