Gyro is not a very good candidate for trying to look like a "gangstuh"
Leave it alone and enjoy the perfect stance it already has, or get yourself a ruck and make it 10 feet long.

I just mounted up 2 new tires I got from www.tires-easy.com. They are lawn and garden tires, but they are not cracked and worn out 27 year old Dunlops either. Look them up under lawn and garden, 5.30 by 6 rim. They have 4 choices. I got the tires, delivered, all in for just under $50. My local Walmart doesn't carry this size. Maybe I need to look in the suburbs, but this way was way easier and I didn't have to drive all over and I really like that I didn't have to go into Walmart.
Now to get the cylinder bored out to 44mm, and get a piston. Tazland told me he's out of pistons right now. Anyone got another source? Otherwise I guess I'll wait.
OK I guess I am still on the re-do Gyro front end .
Well I bought 2 front ends today but they came with an ATV rear end and a Express rear end .
The big problem is every time I get a bike it always runs or almost wants to ...
Why can't I find a Honda with a seized engine or better yet no engine ?
Life would be so much easier .
Now I am starting to price a set of tires for the ATV .$$$
Yes a little starting fluid and waa waaaaa weaaaaaaa runs strong as does the express .
What to do ? What to do ???
Anyway here are some mock-ups on photoshop ...

OK then there is an Express front end as well everything looks like it will match as all of the forks are a little over 7 inches where they attach to the frame I really think this could work .....
OK i was messing around and was thinking I do have an extra Gyro frame .
If I did this would it still be a Gyro or and ATG. ?
But still with almost a 200cc engine hmmmmmmmmmm ?
And yes the engine would sit a lot farther back so the front would still tilt ...

So tell us 66SIX,...is this a direct bolt-on
What is the distance from pavement to footpeg for both the stock bike and the modified bike
How does the steering differ
Do you feel way cooler now
What are you using for headlight
Will you sell me the PA 50
Will you bring it to me
I love you, man

[quote="motormike"]So tell us 66SIX,...is this a direct bolt-on
Yes almost a direct bolt on / you need to cut and grind the back of the forks
the lock holes don't line up . no biggie ...
What is the distance from pavement to footpeg for both the stock bike and the modified bike
Distance from pavement to foot peg spoke wheel is 10'
Gyro front end is 9' so your only talking an inch ...
How does the steering differ Steering I tried to take it for a test run got 5 " then it died
Do you feel way cooler now Much so
What are you using for headlight
I chopped a front gyro fork long ago I was going to put different headlight on one
so I still have the old mount and signal mounts so some plate steel and some welds
it will be great... as I will make the plate bigger so I can add toggle switches later or I phone
and cig lighter or drink holder or fuzzy dice .
Will you sell me the PA 50 It's too much fun ... was riding it today
Will you bring it to me Thats probably not going to happen ...
Here are some things you might want to consider :
You have to use the Express handlebars which are shorter ...
You will have to make mounts for a headlight ...
as for the speedo I am not sure how accurate its going to be ?
the gyro forks look a lot stronger so if the express snaps I will know why .
Also put a sheet or something on the ground to catch the ball bearings when they start falling out after I was all finished I found 1 bearing on the ground ... Oh well ?
spoked wheels should have been an add on from honda .
Oh the brake cables are very different
