Re: would it be legal to build a spree-rex???

Put your seat where your in the area that your feet now go then extend your feet in front of the front wheel on a boom. Lower handle bars so you can see over them. Here is a pedal powered version of this type of bike. http://www.veloliner.com/kenosha06/P7090052.JPG You wouldn't need pedals just foot...

Re: old rider, new 86cc Elite E

brad3 Yeah the tank and the back bracket may rub. I have no desire to add work and was quite pleased when engine fell into alignment and I was able to get the wiring hooked up and it started. If I need to move the shock location, it won't be a problem to make a clevis end and weld it into the frame ...

Re: old rider, new 86cc Elite E

Worked on the Evil Elite today. Got the adapter kit installed and the drive train bolted up. The wheelbase is a 2.5-3" longer than stock and it sits lower than stock. I was able to keep the same top shock mount although the shock lays down a bit more. My custom head pipe is pretty smooth inside...

old rider, new 86cc Elite E

Hi Elite riders I have an 89 Elite E 50 cc scooter. I have ridden it for about a year and finally decided to build it up. I bought a built up 86cc Dio drive train and am putting it together. The engine has a Rumia ministroker kit and a Taiwan big bore cylinder. CT racing intake, OKO 28mm, Poloni kev...
