Greetings all- I have been reading, researching, and reading some more. I have posted this same question in the 'other' forum as well- I trust this is not poor etiquette. And I think I have settled on what I want to do. I would like to plan this build in advance so I can buy parts as they become available. I'm about 90+% sure what I want to do with this-
The switchblade frame (obviously) Disc Brake preferred
Engine- Honda GS160 (or equivalent knock off) seems ideal but it slightly exceeds the California limit - The GX120 would be OK but it points the wrong direction and I would be forced to mount it rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise- is there a vertically oriented cylinder option that comes in at 4HP that I don't know about?
and the trans/clutch/???- I'm thinking a CVT is the way I want to go but I'm open to ideas if that's not the best idea. This is the area I will need the greatest guidance. Can I go engine-CVT-back sprocket? or will I need further reduction?
Too many questions- thanks in advance
