Correct zt the new frame available is the one kc uses an hes running a 3speed with a disc brake, but he drives via jackshaft similar to a sbp shift kit.. my frame isnt as wide and the rotor wont clear the frame. I like the drive to the hub, and hoping its less wear to the gearing, as your driving the hub similar to a clamshell but witout the possibality of any slipage period.
no the crank arms dont clear yet but i have another set from the standard wide crank set on the way and i still have yet to either plastic dip (that crap to put new rubber handles on your tools) the muffler clamps for the motor mount to reduce vibration hopefully and stop the paint from getting buggered up.or i may just use nylon spacer between the two. I also use nylon washers between the motor and mount which i believe a combo of some of that will give me my clarence annd maybe a slight reshape of taking a little material off the crank arms. Its that darn close

Just an update everything is in for powdercoat as we speak so hopefully assembley will start in the coming weeks. No luck with choppers us as they still werent taking orders so i went a different route instead of the dual front disc brake. I also changed my rear wheel drive set up to a sbp shift kit and will use my motor mount and disc brake drive on a future build. I also now have disc brake on the rear now due to this switch and simply low temp welded a tab on to the frame for the caliper i will show.
I still have the fuel bong to the carb issue to deal with i believe i have an answer for.

Test fit test fit and re test fit, complete the entire build even if you think awww that will work its self out test fit. Then paint lol. The only thing i didnt figure was the petcock but i cant change the thread hole position as its in the lowest part of the tank. At worst i might have to rethread which wont affect paint. And i did a mock up which im confident will work. I removed my cantilever studs to stuff as large as a tire as possible and i was going with black wheels and didnt want the color to wear on the sides from the brake pads. Also wanted disc brakes. Well once removed the rims i ended up ordering had machined sides when the came. Then after bondoing the spots where i ground the studs off to perfection i realized would nt work with powder coat. I went frame maroon and black bars, forks and sbp shift kit to mix with the other black and silver touches. Im going to figure out some custom decails once i have the frame back. I have some ideas with a indianhead nickle to rep the buffalo ny thing lol .

Back to that Fuel petcock ..... who is this mz miami you speak of and does anyone know the thread size of the tank petcock for the gt2a frames. 1/8 npt seams pretty close.

I also have a custom muffler for this project . I bought a kit 50cc gy6 scooter iwas hoping would work. Well there was a problem with ebay and paypal so needless to say i ended up with a free $69 exhaust. Well it was 3in round and looked to big so i gutted it and took the internals which consisted of a 1in inner tube drilled with holes and white fiberglass packing insolation and rest to the scrap pile. Autozone for a 18in piece of 2in id stainless exsaust pipe for $20 . Fit some washers for the ends and welding er up. The stainless i did a test section with some 800 /1200 GRIT paper and it cleaned up nice and i bet will polish out on the wheel. The exhaust i will bend up some tubing and getting some black wrap. Forgot to take progress pics of that process. It was just one of those one thing lead to another and bamm muffler lol.

after 1/2 hr of figuring out how to screenshot my phone and then get it to my computer its to large to upload
I have that petcock already, ebay $1.38 china direct lol (ordered 4). problem is the barb from the petcock is lower then the barb on the carb. if I 90 it from the tank I can get a happy loop around the seat tube and should aid in and flow fine as these motors consume very little gas even on wot. so anyone reading who would like to chime in with the threadsize would be greatly appreciated . its the same as the tank that comes with the motor kits (or as least use to with the older ones)

Just a update. I hav'nt givin up on this project. Still waiting on powdercoat.my guy doesnt do a lot of aluminum nor has seprete blasting abilities. I must say being patient sucks.
