The side pic the stem looks really long.maybe the pic and background makes it look long. was the stem you put in and the stock stem the same length?

here is a pic of a stock E with no seat on it. Then check out how tall the seat is.

I was thinking that too. But then I rememberd there is no seat or seat bucket on this bike yet.

If you try to imagine it with the bigg * elite e seat on it, the bars don't seem so high.
true.
im gonna but a solo bike seat on it

That's odd. I thought all the GY6's had the mount on the top of the motor.

I have a line on a ratty 150 GY6 donor that has been radared at 70 wit 13" tires. I think I'll put a 10" on it to slow it up and have crazy acceleration. Well if I can ever get my hands on it.

only the 125 and up gy6 motors have top mounts the 50cc have bottom mouts.

I thought the gy6 50cc with a 2.50 knobby tire would be a great off-road toy, the 4-stroke has plenty of low end torque for trail riding. :naughty:
