Got this mostly dialed in, still adjusting wheelie bars, we'll see if this is enough. More to come. Video and pic below.

That things is too cool.
So how fast have you pushed her to?
I had a KV75 that someone put a similar front wheel on.
I still have it but have no idea what its from.

Nice job, that will be fun at the gap I bet.

Dunno Steve, Butt Dyno says about 40 - far from what I was expecting, but I can't wind it up for any length of time. I took out the governor and the valve springs can float and carnage will ensue.

My wife heard the mini bike sound while I was watching your video and she thought it was a cat purring.

Cool project. :clap:

Gear it higher. Hell, you can wheelie that thing with the engine off, just by leaning back. :lol:
