Hooly Dooly ... thats a good size loop!... you need a camelbak fuel tank for that or what?
Ehh it looks huge but smaller than it seems. 6 or 7 miles tops. a 1.5 litre tank. @ 30mpg a tad lower if im @ 18k but still enough fuel to make trip twice

Considering an idea here. since this scooter has TWO SSSA's i could ( if i can round funds up, put another drive gear on front wheel. say a 76 tooth.( plus purchase the required spacers,) a 76 tooth main sprocket is speed only really. plus i went +1 on the pinion for more speed. Soooooo, id have a spare drive gear if i damaged the other one, plus i could change drive ratios in about 35 minutes. ( swap front tire to rear.)

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :icon_twisted:
Very tempting. that and a pipe, thicken up the oil mixture slightly and id be good to go. i can grab that for less than 50, a pipe for a bit more. maybe a hardened pston to handle the NOS stresses ( bearings too. so im figuring 250ish should have me a healthy assed engine. 45+mph

just got back from a 12 mile ride.enjoyed every bit of it.  gotta save the cabbage for the next stages of the buildup tho. but not lacking much to consider it complete. other than paint eventually. but a couple hundred to finish the mechanicals.  so that will take a bit o time :) but not worried.

Hmm after riding my gopeds for 3+ years in town here, seems its slightly illegal. but maybe not. the goped does not fall under the accepted definitions of a moped, or motorised bicycle. with teh turf tires it COULD be classified as off road only, so i have to put street tires on it, so i can say these tires are worthless offroad. never had been hassled by cops until tonight. EVER. shaZam! even would sit and talk with them about it, some even giving it a test ride. going to keep on riding the battlepig. my legs wont allow pedalling anymore. of any distances. the goped really doesnt even fall under the definition of a scooter. definately not a moped, motorcycle or anythign of the nature. this will be my saving grace @ next stop. ( mainly used for work. to and from. also running errands etc. )

That sprocket is crap.

DO NOT BUY ALUMINUM SPROCKETS!

Hard steel ONLY!

.....and that aluminum thing looks NOT billet but stamped out of aluminum sheet with a little machining and pretty crude at that.

aye. my ddm black magic sprocket also aluminum has the same pattern cut into it i THINK a company called zero error made steel sprockets at some point. eats chains ( the ratio is 2 chains per 1 sprocket. i KNOW it was my fault. i ran the tension too tight. its got some life left in it. but im not going to run it long distances. until replaced. except perhaps next tuesday into downtown clinton to drop off the bulova at bills to get overhauled. will be fine to handle that

seems nobody makes a goped specific gear in steel. hardened steel IIRC is brittle.  the small pinion gear on my scooter is hardened steel. and brittle but not subject to impact its shielded.  the drive gear is exposed though. i can convert my MTB tensioner with a gear from a chinese scooter which will run 25H chain, something like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-Tooth-Sprocket-Gear-Gas-Scooter-Pocket-Bike-Mini-Chopper-Skateboard-Go-Kart-/390385355666?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae4c7cb92 this is thinner than my pinion and final drive. as it fits the thinner 25 chain.  will fit fine inside the 25H so im looking at 18 for this, another aluminum drive gear @ 21 shipped
chain @ 16.  ( 10ft of 25H) and 2 tires.  ill run the ped as is until she breaks then will order hte parts with whatever cash on hand ive got or can scrape together.

out of exile to update thread. replaced the 98 tooth  drive sprocket with an 84 tooth so ratio is 7/84 = LOADS more speed. had eye on a trail tech vapor tach/speedo. but didnt have the 50 bones. so settled for a 15 dollar bicycle computer. guessing i hit 40-45ish today ( also took  turf tires off, and replaced with road/speed tires. . anyhoo back to exile. will update as soon as i can.
