Buddy has a Bintelli he's working on with too long a shock, swapped with him..
My front wheel still isn't properly centered but I took it for a ride.
Thing rips! Scary with the f'd up front wheel but damn....

I didn't want to put to much on it. But yeah that motor kinda does. Nice an torquey for a 70cc. No lag in the cvt. Pulls nicely doesn't it.

Have I mentioned yet how much this engine rips? It's like a fat man with lactose intolerance that went straight from an ice cream eating competition to a very important job interview! Swapping shocks did get the rear end where it should be. I still don't have the front wheel in their properly though so haven't done more than blast up and down the street pissing off the neighbors. Hopefully will have that sorted out before the end of the day.  |

What kind of symptoms would an overly tight steering stem cause?
This engine preforms exactly as O'verse claimed. Shoots right up to 40 or so and just keeps climbing up to about 50. Steady smooth acceleration too.

So I've verified now that my centering was off on my little wheel. I swapped back to the original TGB 14" and it tracks perfectly. I'll run that until I work out a better way of installing the Dio wheel. Makes it look like one of those new school baggers, lol.

Didn't get any pictures.... Everything from the Jog case has been swapped over to a CPI longcase. 12" back wheel. Keeping the CPI transmission. It's 10:1 and all the blasting at the rally had the Jog tranny making some serious noise.
Scored a Stage 6 rear facing intake set up. Gonna swap back to a Key West frame. Started modifying the frame tonight to accept the Yamaha sized engine hanger. The outer portion of the frame tabs is just a tad tight but the pivots on the TGB are narrower so I cut off the inner frame tabs so they can be welded back on to accept the Yammy sized hanger.
Wanna get back to the shorter frame and bigger wheels as I really liked the nimbleness stacked with being able to hit bumps wide open.
Looking at clutch bells. Since I warped one I want to pick up something with fins.
I've been told that an ET2 rear pulley will fit and is bigger, so that with an oversized front pulley gives a poor mans over range. Investigating that info.
I've been riding my stock Key West all week. Stock bikes are so slow.

The Yammy engine hanger got mounted. I put it all back together enough yesterday to make it fire up. Restraining myself from working on it his morning because if I get into it I'll be late to work.
Still need to hook up the rear brake and finish plugging wires back in.
I've had to destroy my seat bucket to clear things. The engine hanger hit he front, the carb hit the back, where I wanted the fuel line was through the back, etc....
I'll have to find a small pouch to hang in there to hold some oil and tools and stuff, along with a larger bag that'll strap nicely to the luggage rack for beer.
Shock mount on the frame still needs to be modified. I've got a mount cut off another frame ready to weld on.
Will have to buy a new rear tire sooner than later, as in hopefully Monday when shops open. This once seems very hard. I have a feeling it's gonna start cracking quickly.
I'd thought the TGB rear wheel would work, same splines, something is spaced different though.

I didn't think to check offset on wheels.......
The Jog wheel isn't as offset to the right as the larger 12" CPI wheel. That means my engine is now sitting too far to the right. Ugh.

Yeah.... I set it up to be lined up with the Jog engine and wheel. Looking at the Eton Beamer that is currently taking up porch space the engine frame tabs are in the same place. The engine hanger tube is grooved to offset the engine way to the left. I can't do that with the Stage6 rear intake hanger I have. Some cutting and welding is definitely gonna happen.

Finally got the engine back in. Didn't get far enough for a test blast today.
Cut the Stage6 hanger at the solid bars and welded it back together using some sleeves cut from old handlebars.
Stage6 uses some soft steel. When I was cutting and grinding I swear it was harder to get through the powder coating than the steel underneath.
Since I have enough room under the carb instead of using a bolt on each side at the engine I'm using the long stock bolt with a spacer in the center. Makes it easier to install if nothing else. In my head it'll be less likely to twist.
Shock mount still needs to be welded on.
Gotta go get my electrical tools from friends house so I can figure out where my DC circuit went. That happened before I decided to swap to the long case.
This bike is totally getting a "built not bought label somewhere.
I hate that I warped the clutch bell. I'm using the CPI clutch now as it's larger but I'll have to start from scratch on tuning it. Overse had that sucker dialed in almost perfect.

Yes, I think Spaz has mentioned before they tend to twist/bend? Maybe this is exactly the reason why! Hopefully my choice to use a cross bolt on the bottom will prevent that. With the tubing welded in it's heftier now too. I notched it around the webs so the tubes go plate to plate with lots of weld. |

Everytime I've had this girl "perfect" I decide it's time to fuck something up, lol.  |
