Venice~ Felt 99cc racer

[Venice Motor Bikes]

I thought I'd post this bike here...
I originally bought this from another member here & I totally tore it apart & rebuilt it for the So-Cal 99cc race class.

It now has a larger carb & ported head, aluminum Worksman wheels with a AGK hydraulic disc brake, Hookworms, a Sportsman 56T sprocket & Clubman bars.

I'm anxious to see how well it does on the track this October!!

This is a 'screen shot' of my last GPS blast while tuning it... 46.9 MPH.

Here's a close up of the custom seat post... I also cut about 1" off the frame to lower the seat even more.




Below is the custom engine mount that I made from a 49cc kit mount & some steel pipe... This worked out very well & is extremely solid... it needs no other upper engine mounts!
It's held to the frame with large hose clamps.

A perfect example of form matching function. 47 mph and and beautiful!

Great looking racer, Norm. I really like your engine mount. Clean and clever. Makes for a simple on and off!

It's amazing how fast you guys can get those 99cc motors run.
Sweet looking bike Norm.

I finished the chain guard so I won't get my leg caught in the chain if I slide out on the track this saturday.

To answer any comments about the clutch sticking out?, I'll be wearing my work boots to protect my ankle from the spinning clutch!

Looks Cool!!
I was wondering about that clutch...Does it bang in? Or is it a smooth?
I've seen others with this clutch too, so anyone can answer who has knowledge of the spring tension.

 

[MotorBicycleRacing]

Spring tension?
It's a plate type centrifugal clutch.

 

[gokart25]

I think you can change out the springs on those, to have it engage at different RPM's?

 

[Huffydavidson]

I like it. What is it again?

Here's a little update on the bike... It was sold over a year ago, & it was recently brought back to my shop for some much needed clutch & chain repairs, & I was very pleased to find that inspite of how beat up the bike was, the engine was still in very good condition!

I think this is proof as to how nice & reliable these Predator engines can be.








Don't mind the picture below... It's of a custom exhaust pipe that I made, & I can't figure out how to delete it.

No Scott, it's a DAX pipe that I cut into several pieces & re-welded to fit the bike.

Nice looking pipe and you did a great job on it.....it looks factory made with that fit

How did you like agk's disc brake? Can you get rebuild kits for it?

 

[jamesar]

Great looking bike,I was wondering if anyone on the forum ever used a bore sleeve to use a 3/4 clutch on a 5/8 shaft,then you could use a readily available torque converter with a cover on it.
