if its pushing that much power why then only put a 15 hp on it. it wouldnt be all that bigger

 

[smgs92]

cause that engine is for my minibike and i'm planning to build the 15hp i'd like atleast 20hp which isn't hard with these engines

 

[chris_the_poser]

Oh ok makes since your mini must do some nice wheelies or just straight haul butt

 

[smgs92]

yeah haha some guy didn't believe it was putting out the power i said he opened it up and it threw him to the ground haha and it'll hit 50mph at least.

 

[smgs92]

got a decent amount done i would've been finished with this if the new spool for my welder hadn't been tangled up when i bought it so now i gotta return that before i can finish.
got flat steel to make the new shock mounts and headlight mounts.
mounted a smaller steering wheel it makes getting in and out easier since i'm 6'1
and cut part of the frame and old shock mounts to make room for the bigger engine and suspension with mounting it this way its a less severe lift and i can run a bigger shock i also believe it may stiffen it a bit which could be good for jumps

 

[smgs92]

has anybody used these brakes and would they be enough to stop the 15hp on it and possibly build it to 25-30hp?

i'm aware once i build it to the powers i'm talking about i'm most likely going to run either dual rear if its needed or run front brakes as well

Hmm, not sure on that one but, a cheaper option may be a front setup from a sportsbike; bigger disc, bigger & better caliper & you know it's gonna stop you

 

[smgs92]

i thought about that option but i had trouble finding any kits with rotor caliper and everything though i probably was typing in the wrong stuff.

 

[OzFab]

Where there's a complete brake setup there's usually a rotor &, in my experience, most people sell brakes as a sealed unit (caliper, master cylinder & hose); email the seller & ask if they have a rotor they can include in the package for an added cost; it never hurts to ask

 

[smgs92]

i'll ask when i'm looking for brakes which will be very soon this beast hopefully will be running by next week.
i got some more work done i am mostly done with the shock mounts but didnt get to finish because work got in the way but its looking good.
also i found some high precision bearings i had laying around and i wanted to use them for my jack shaft and just make my own but i wasn't sure if i could run them because i think they're 5/8 and i'll need a 1in 40 series.

 

[smgs92]

should be able to finish the shocks today and finish reinforcing the frame and hopefully the bolts will be in tomorrow or tuesday.
anyone about those bearings? i plan on making a mounting plate for it

AFAIK, all Comet 40's require a 3/4" jackshaft.

 

[smgs92]

ok well my plans won't work but at least i know now

 

[smgs92]

so i got alot done today, i finished reinforcing almost the whole frame, i finished the suspension and it looks and works great , i made the seatbelt mounts got it finished, and made the seat mount i just need to finish drilling the wholes and bolt down the seat. now i just need to mount my new gas tank and get some steel to tack mount under the seat and tank and she should be done for now and when the bolts get in ill be able to test run her then finish doing what i want to do to it.

 

[smgs92]

i need to get gas for when i have to do long beads but theyll clean up and theyre solid

 

[smgs92]

well i ordered a hilliard extreme duty clutch for now i wont do any serious offroading yet but i wanna get it running and setting up a clutch is cheaper and easier ill be running a ratio of 4:1 is this going to be a decent ratio i can adjust when i get the 40 series cvt

 

[DaiSan76]

I think a 4:1 ratio will destroy your clutch trying to get moving.

 

[OzFab]

Think closer to 7:1

Yeah, a 4:1 is not a good idea. It will be a waste of time and money spent on the clutch you bought
