Thank you for the very nice complement. Because of everyone’s complements and interest in my bike, you guys made it fun for me to post pictures of my build and adventures. I wish all of you guys could take her for a spin because I know everyone would fall in love with that motor set up.
Again Thanks.
Ken

I'm not sure I quite understand? The tank is mounted to the forks with clamps.

I want that particuler tank seems yours mount perfectly, I have rock shox like yours

It's a Go-ped tank with a backing plate that bolts up to the hole pattern of the tank. On the backing plate Dean welded a straight bar that bolts up to the forks. It's pretty easy to make but hard to explain. I'll post pics of it this weekend.

Now that we have a couple of full suspension bikes for the trails, my poor little bike has been collecting dust in the shop. I'm think of hitting King's Sales up for another sprocket. If a 47 tooth sprocket can get me to 44 mph, do you think a 44 tooth sprocket can get me to the 50 mph mark? Or should I go with something smaller like a 36 or 40 tooth sprocket?
The only thing that worries me is how long will it take to get into the pipe during acceleration.

Hi Easy,

On a bike with the HT engines and a 26" rear wheel, generally each tooth you lose off the rear sprocket gets you 1 additional MPH on the top end.

I am not sure what the rule is when using a Morini engine tho BUT if you are into tinkering, I have a 38T Hard Coated sprocket for use with the Top Hat Adapter (which I think you are using) that I can sell to you for $30.00 which includes shipping (It was a sprocket we built for another customer but the customer wanted a different color....it was our error so we made and shipped the customer another sprocket of the right color).

Hope this helps you.

Andrew

PS - If the Morini follows the same speed gains as the HT based on gearing (and it it has enough power to pull it to speed) you may be able to hit 53 MPH with the 38T!! ....Be Careful!! ;-O

Oh...I almost forgot, to get some of the acceleration back on the low end using the smaller sprocket, are different clutch springs available for the Morini? (If you can find stiffer clutch springs, that would allow the engine to rev higher before engaging thus allowing more power to be developed before the centrifugal clutch engages....hopefully enough to counter the steeper gearing?

Just a thought...

All I have to say is..... You inspire me.

You are the guy who makes me believe that I can always take it to the next level and look back with no regrets.

Thank you and the only place to go from here is.... a bigger engine! You going to put the morini 9.4 HP or the 11.3 HP engine on it? My life would be complete after that. Well... trying NOS after that would be fun too

Then finding a way to turbo charge it

I'm with ya PO0n.....I'd also like to see a Shift Kit grafted onto it somehow!
