Pirelli MT66 is what I was thinking. I’ve seen them on Pats bikes at the bike show. They come in a 80/90-21 which is only a 1/8” wider than your beach bums and probably smaller on the OD. There is also Shinko 230. You’ll still have to run tubes if you have spoke wheels but they won’t leave the rim if they pop like bicycle tires willI'm in South Carolina but thanks
Motorcycle tires won't happen. The front fork has maybe. 3/16 of an inch clearance. Again a new fork is required as well as rims and spokes.Pirelli MT66 is what I was thinking.

Yeah Norm been planning a build for my new design 2-speed with a Tilly block maybe the 263cc although small block builders I know say the smaller 236cc can make more power because it is a stronger block capable of higher compression. When I have the money to start I’ll make a build thread then. Before last year I would have built it and rode it out there, but now I must have a cage around me on public roads. Been wanting to go to that event for years now.
Dang. 19s would look good and they have far more tire size options. A couple panic stops and you’ll be looking to replace that moped front brake… I’ll be here for ya when you’re readyMotorcycle tires won't happen. The front fork has maybe. 3/16 of an inch clearance.

Yeah, honda stuff is better. I still don't trust a cast flywheel spinning 9k or more right next to the boys.I have put many electric starters on bikes with battery and never really had any problems overcharging. If you buy an electric start engine it comes with the full wiring harness with regulator, starter solenoid, key switch, etc.
I prefer using the true Honda electric start as my starting point. The components just seem better, including the flywheel. Think I saw some discussion once on cast flywheels with people saying they will come apart. There was a thread somewhere trying to locate anyone who had exploded a Honda cast flywheel and no one stepped up to say they had. Always a friend of a friend knew someone kind of thing. Now, I am in no way saying any cast flywheel is safe on a 20 hp engine. Do your own research on flywheels.
I thought someone started making billet two magnet flywheels recently.
Also, you can find the electric start wiring diagram on line and Honda even makes an electric starter kit.
Yep batteries are getting expensive. I'm running a ebl 200 ca lithium.I know about over charging batteries on motorcycles. My BSA needs the lights on or battery charging can hit 15 volts. My flat track motorcycle went through a few batteries before I figured out I had a cheap regulator.
I have never popped a battery with a GX200 using the standard components. Also, 9K on a 200 is pretty optimistic. My 100cc beast which is a sleeved down GX200 for racing at Bonneville can reach 9k. My 200's never get that high. Just my experience. Your results may vary....
(RPM × TIRE DIAMETER × π)Yes, added a speedo. Ran 75mph for a split second just to say I did it. I did calibrate the speed using a GPS so it may be off by a mph or two. Although with my gearing 9k correlates to 75
Also with a keen eye you may notice the little panel added to one of your gas tanks. That's my fuel level sender.
Yeah, I was likely off a little on the RPM reading as I was watching the speedo which is GPS calibrated.(RPM × TIRE DIAMETER × π)
÷(1056 × TOTAL REDUCTION) = MPH
So to do 75 mph on 26" tires with 9000 rpm your total reduction is around 9.28\1.
This would be based on a 100% efficiency on level ground with no wind. Which is impossible. So it would be more likely at 9000 rmp on 26" tires with a 9.28 total reduction you'd be doing around 73 mph. Some of the loss would come from possible head winds, rolling resistance, aerodynamic design, wheel hubs etc. In the event you're going faster than 75 it means there's contributing forces at play gravity, tail wind.
