NEW BUILD: Micargi Royal with Predator 212cc
- Thread starter Predator303
- Start date
I decided today that I will def. keep the bike. Its just too much of fun to drive around with it. I had the option to sell it for a good price and I was looking at Off Road and Cruiser Motorcycles which could give me the option of a surf rack, but even though I cant use the highway, I am just a couple pieces away from having it as reliable as a motorcycle. Probably 300-400 Dollars more and its complete. Next thing I will get is this wheel:

and I am planning to buy a fixie bike hub with good sealed bearings and use the fixed sprocket as mount for the engine sprocket since that one is right on the hub so I dont need to drill through the hub, even though I am still looking at some hubs with higher walls but for 36 spokes. 11g spokes should be enough for the stress of the engine.
The other thing I will get is a seat post with suspension take out additional hits to the rear wheel and frame and my beautiful ass
and the Suzuki K10 fork:

The other things I want to do is to change the engine mount with rubbers to reduce vibration, the wide cranks, a center kickstand and other stuff I will do step by step.
If anybody is interested in my 68 spoke wheels (already prepared for mounting a sprocket on the hub), shot my a message. I probably will have to switch to 26" because it will be hard to get what I need in 24".

The ones I have now. 185mm disc and dual hydraulic for smaller motorcycles from AGK. Best brakes I ever had. They make your brain smash against the front wall
here is a link to a guy that added hydro disc brakes to a K10

if was going to do custom work i would just get the front fork assembly off a yamaha r6 with dual disk brakes and Brembo calipers. then i would mill the center tube down to 1 1/8 inch to fit my bike. i would even keep the front rim and tire, handle bars and all levers. that would be cool.
So I ended up buying this hub
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150910487209?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
because it was the only one I could find with sealed bearings 36h and high walls to drill the mount again for the sprocket directly in the hub. I heard its a good quality brand too.
I will be using those rims:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400281072529?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
and in the bike store here are 10g spokes waiting to be used on the coolest bike on the island That should be good enough
I also bought the K10 fork today so lets see when that stuff comes.
Im also thinking about to get this seat but not sure if its good and comfortable. Would look good in it though.

Today I decided not to work sh*t, so I went surfing big waves in the morning and when I got home I changed clothes and took the bike for a couple hours along the coast and to Old San Juan.
In this pic is one of my fav surfing spots in the background, earier today I surfed here 10ft+ waves. Hopefully by next week I have the surf rack and can take my board with me on the bike
That one was later at El Morro in Old San Juan where I met a gang of Classic Bikes and got a great new contact to weld and work on the frame.
