Making the luggage rack from old Stella rack and some metal. This is the part 1. I still need to find solution for case mounts. The welding machine cart in the video, is also made by me. Now it is so simple to roll the machine around.

Few days ago, I went to garage and welded some support bars on the luggage rack.  One I welded, while the rack was mounted on the bike (on the picture with red circle), but other two (long ones, on the picture with green circles), I welded on, while the rack was off the bike. That was a mistake, because now both sides, one plastic (with the red circle and arrow) is touching hard on the rack. And it could not mount it on the bike anymore. I need to stop working in the garage, when Im tired after work, because I make some mistakes along the way, when Im building something, lol.   |

I´m thinking about swapping the 17,5mm carb to an bigger one. I have Malossi 80cc cylinder kit, malossi reeds, Malossi clutch with springs. Some people in my country told me to get 24mm PWK Carburettor. But I want my bike have Malossi parts, so ... Option nr 1: 26mm kit:MALOSSI ADJUSTABLE PHBH CARBURETOR KIT (D=26MM). It is not cheap, about 326€. Maybe it is not suitable for my Malossi 80cc cylinder kit, maybe it is. I do not know.  2. Option nr.2: 21mm kit:MALOSSI ADJUSTABLE PHBG CARBURETOR KIT (D=21MM) 197,00 €  |

2 different schools of thought, some like putting the biggest carb they can on bike, and some like a little bigger carb and the stock airbox.
Kinda depends on what you want, either can be made to work and both are quality.
Me personally I always ran the tried and true cp21 carb, always reliable and consistent, never ever felt the need for a 26 mm carb on a 70 kit.

What exhaust do you currently have? Front half of exhaust is stock and the second half is Gianelli pipe with Gianelli silencer. |

The motor wil likely be very hard to tune, consume more fuel without any performance gains. The stock pipe with a catalic converter which acts like a big restrictor. That motor is not able to process as much fuel as that carb is able to supply. It just doesn't make any sense to put such a big carb on there with the stock exhaust. I am amazed you haven't overheated or seized it yet with that 80cc in combination with the stock pipe. You're on very thin ice... If you want to upgrade performance, ditch the stock pipe and go with an expansion chamber. If you want something else and also have a worse running bike, buy the big carburetor. |

If I do but that on, instead of the stock front, then I might get some bad vibes from lawmen, if they control me. But Im not sure. I would try out the 21mm kit maybe. |

Im not familiar with the suitable pipes for AM6 motors with 70cc's and up. Yasuni makes top notch products. Stick with the 17.5mm, thats already plenty for that stock pipe! Remember, the exhaust is arguably the most important performance part on a 2t bike along with the cylinder. You already upgraded the cylinder to a beefy 80cc. You can't just slap on a big carb if the engine still has to breath trough that tiny little straw of a stock pipe. You need to upgrade that first before you can do anything else that will have any considerable effect. And regarding the cops. Yeah, its gonna draw more attention with an exoansion chamber. But what did you think will happen if you put on a big carb? Theres plenty of noise coming from that too so they'll hear you coming from a mile anyway. And also, you're in Europe and rules here are all pretty siliar across the whole EU area. If you crash your bike or cause damage to someone else, insurance is gonna say bye bye to you anyway now. Your bike is officially a motorbike since its over 49,9cc and therefore you're not insured whatsoever. |

The Malossi 80cc cylinder was already on the bike, when I brought it. I only upgraded the stock clutch plates with springs to Malossi ones and also stock intake reed valves to Malossi ones. Also swapped stock rear exhaust pipe to Gianelli one and replaced the silencer. The Gianelli silencer was also on the bike. I just that too. |

Today, I got Tube Notcher Kit, what I brought from Ebay. The second thing that I did, was going out to gas company and got to register myself to a new client. Now I can place a first order for MISON 18 UNICUL gas-mix for MIG welding with an RIVAL AR regulator. Im done with FluxCore.   After visiting gas company, I went to nearby tool market and brought myself an new 3-in-1 Lincoln Electric welder, what does MIG, Stick and TIG with 1.0mm welding wire (about 775€). Also I brought some accessories for it (stick welding arc, TIG arc etc ... about 360€).  |

You will be amazed at the improvement of MIG over stick and even flux core wire feed. Great addition to your shop.

Welding with MIG is so easy and clean, IF you know how to set up the wire speed and power.
I used to have a Cebora Bravo MIG welder. Really awesome hobby welder!
For EU folks, it was 165A 230V.
Great for 0.5-1mm sheet metal and rust repairs on cars.
Works great for expansion chamber welding or the armor style sheet metal on my old volvo 144.
Setting it up was easy but I didn't know how to so always had to ask friends.
