Bike has been on the road with the new back wheel setup, works awesome. Did not race it at Willow Springs but did ride it all over the area, sure runs good with that gear box setup.
"Game Changer" KTM Water Cooled 5 Speed
- Thread starter culvercityclassic
- Start date
215cc HF Predator engine with the flat top wiseco piston sticking about .012" out of the hole. When you bolt the milled and ported cylinder head back on with the proper thickness head gasket, you are looking at about a 15:1 ratio high compression racing engine. Yes it's a 4-stroke engine. 25hp maybe?
I haven't been following this thread too closely, but the end product you have there is just plain AWESOME.
I bet that's as much fun as you can have without a license plate on it.
This state, the great midwestern state of NO-hio would have grand mal conniptions if somebody rode that here. If you start to have fun here, Mad Mothers cry on the tv and a swat team shows up with blood in its eye. The laws just keep piling up, compounding and becoming indecipherable in their language, almost like they were planned to confound people.
Great job, very impressive build, wow.
That has got to be FUN.
Ya'll are lucky out west, really.

That bike needs to go into production.....with the latest model KTM liquid-cooled engine available! 
What pipe is that? Where can I get one, or can you give me the design drawings, or???
This is the pipe: http://www.treatland.tv/big-large-gigantor-gladiator-robuust-chamber-for-a-p/uncoated-chamber.htm
I made the header for it.
I thought that pipe looked familiar. How did you decide how long to make the header?
Rule of thumb lol, I tried a few options and this was the best so far. I may change it up a bit and do a carb upgrade. The thing is it runs so good a is.
No need for any big dollar clutches, manual clutch 5 speed gear box KTM... The only way to fly...
This is the most innovative build I've seen using an alternative power train. Perfect enough to be a production item but much cleaner and eye appealing. Inspires me, and others I hope, to round up some cheap bikes for the engines and build our own.
Hi all --had a discussion at the DTM clubhouse today --the subject being to assemble versus construct
came across a cast iron Clinton today I think 3.5 hp attached to a "Ralph's' generator took some torch cutting and some sledge hammering to get it separated - weighs a bit!!!
go to it Dale you are well along with all of your fabrication skills maestro
they all do not need to go a million miles per hour!!!!
