I realize only so much can be done with the given lack of hp. I dont have an automatic & the op didnt state what he has. Gearing may just be enough to keep him from having to duck walk the bike. Apart from pouching it out as far as you could go, little bigger carb & valves, along with mild port job. Anything above that would prove to be quite an ambitious project.

This comment comes with a grain of salt as I havent really taken a close look at the caveman trans on my bike yet.Would maybe a solution be to play with the ratios of the pulleys on the trans to give a little better bottom & top ends?.....basically thinking out loud here. I would be interested in hearing any thoughts on this.

This being the 1st 2 Stroke I've had...why do they need? an oiled Air Filter as opposed to just a paper Element?

In Jersey we're Titled by Frame Number.If you have a Bike with no Title the process is a PITA.I'm going through this now on the 1st of 3 Bikes to Title.

Wheel laced up.I had planned to paint Rim,Hub,& Spokes all flat Black.After looking at it,I think it's gonna need a little contrast.So I'll just paint the Rim & Hub,leaving Spokes Stainless.Might hit them with Scotch Brite for a satin finish.To give an Idea how pitted the Rim was.

Thanks Man....I can get an Idea with the bottom Pic.I just noticed the Hole spacing is the same on the Small side of the Rear Hub.( which I do have a Pic of)I'm sure the Pattern is the same.

I need a favor from anyone who can throw a close up of a Spool Hub front Wheel.Mine is a "48 (can't see the Pattern being any different on other year Spooled Hubs).I know I took a Pic before I broke it down, but can't find it....Thanks in advance.

Some of the Parts need to be redone.I was trying to throw it together just to get to an Event on the Beach in Oct. here in Jersey.It's not gonna happen, so now I can take my time & do it right.

after a long time without doing anything on this, I did manage to get a little done.Everything is pitted real bad, & I decided it's gonna be easier on me to prep for Paint than it would be for Powder.The Tank & front Fender were painted.
