I got a kid's trailer off craigslist for $25. The way it's made the load is totally inbetween the bike wheel and the cart wheels. I have some 1"x1" .063 wall square tubing I'll be making a 2'x4' flatbed with hooks to fasten things down like an aluminum box and other stuff...when I get the bike doneMade a new intake manifold for my HF 79cc. I was having trouble getting it to ideal right. Checked the manifold and one of my welds leaked. The new one works great. runs right now.
Also helped my brother build a trailer to pull behind his bike. Think I'm going to make me one.
That should haul anything your bike would want to pull. I'm not sure how big I'll make for mine yet. My brothers flat bed is 23"x26", with 20" wheels. Mine will be a flat bed also, as soon as I find a tote I like that will be the size of the bed.I got a kid's trailer off craigslist for $25.

Never a good feeling knowing something almost burned your bike/vehicle down, is it? lolSwitched my lighting system from engine powered to rechargeable 6.4volt battery...had everything all set when one of my wires started smoking...apparently the wire was steel wire? I really must not have been paying any attention at all when I wired up the headlight...but its fixed, and all wired in...i even had the lights on for an hour straight with nearly 0.5volt discharge...not bad...but it took freaking forever and its nerve racking...going to bed still smelling the burnt flux..

Did that to the radio in my project truck not too long ago.
Been riding it a bit here lately. Had one of my friends over monday, I warmed the bike up and let him ride it. He had ridden it before, but the carb wasn't working all that great and it was cold.
I didn't realize how loud my bike was until I could track him around the neighborhood just by the exhaust.
In other news, thinking about grinding and smoothing the head. Any suggestions?
Also, anybody ever done a stroker build on one of these engines?
I agree! I've had people THINK about pulling out in front of me, until they hear mah pipes!LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES!
Just smoked a wire redoing my electrics too. I ran out of fuses for my inline and had it rigged. Got some new fuses quick.
And on the head. Wet/dry paper and a sheet of glass.
fatdaddy.
Gotcha. I wasn't going to mill the head surface, just smooth out the combustion chamber a bit.glass block is used for finishing something you want really flat.
a little water under the wet/dry paper and it sticks like glue.
i use a piece of polished granite.
didnt do anything to my bike today,but do want to take it for a snow ride.
