Yeah, right. I bought the Black Panther and have a Schwinn Phantom Springer Fork.
These builds are fun but can be money pits!

Yeah, be pointless then, committed once the engine gets bought!

My first X used to tell me that I loved my '64 Chevy step side truck more than I loved her. I told her that wasn't true that I loved them both equally. Lol
Been “eye ballin” this Predator Ghost combined with the Death Row CVT Transmission Kit.
Too much power?

There are a-s-so many 212! He I, non hemi.
Cast iron flywheel, machined aluminum flywheels!
After reading the specs for each one the Briggs is the over-all choice , but at 1k!
The Ducson, Tollostin and factory predator are close in price.
Ghost hits that 6000 rpm and mid range in
Ducson 212
Briggs LO206
Tollostin
Predator 224

That 224 is no joke. Way better on torque than the 212. A 212 aluminum flywheel and 212 camshaft (since the original is plastic and doesn't hold up to rpm) you'll have a screamer
The CTV die castings used to break on a knit line A buddy of mine broke several on a 212 Predi. Huffy Classic build. It would cruise at 45 mph. And then the wheel hub bearing that he never repacked failed. He sported some nasty road rash for a month.

So, make sure a pack everything on the CVT? I don’t know, won’t be trying to move so fast, Just a keepsake

The cam is plastic in the 224 and tends to break with higher rpm. Iirc a 212 camshaft fits. The flywheel is just a safe guard and allows for more speed in the future. I recommend if you replace the camshaft and flywheel to punch out the governor gear rod and put a bolt in the case and properly bypass the governor.
I suppose opening up the motor and a good inspection couldn’t hurt. Also , in some incidents of loose nut on the flywheel from factory, like they know it’s gonna be changed!
Seriously, there’s mixed opinions on the cam, but a handful of bolts shouldn’t deter the cam swop
Makes me ponder the Ducar 212, it’s already aluminum flywheel and steel cam?
