Made an exhaust from old bicycle handlebars from a thrift shop for $2. Made an air filter for the venturi since the cone filter would've hit my foot. Got my sprocket drilled, just need the center milled out now. Almost ready to rip!

Got quite a bit done today. Just waiting on a chain and sprocket...and paint/primer to dry. Decided on a 54T rear. Should be a happy medium

Well @3500rpm with 20" rear tire and 10/60 I only get like 36mph. The guys on YT are getting near 50mph+

I don't see how that calculator works when you have a CVT trans though. Please explain.

I agree. So would a 60 tooth be fine with my 10T drive sprocket? Seems to be limited options. Also, should I run 420 chain instead of 40?

Any harm in running #35 chain instead? Sprockets and chain are much cheaper and my TAV2 has both

What kind of speeds will I see? What kind of takeoff? Those youtube builds look Torquey as heck!

It's a parts bike I'm stuffing a Predator into. Never had an engine in my hands. Guys that built these on YouTube are running 10T driven and 45T rear off the TAV2. Not sure why guy above is saying 75-100 is necessary.

No, no hub. Replacing this

I'll need to drill mine anyways so I'll check em out

I'm building a Predator powered dirt bike and need a good inexpensive place to order some #40 chain and a matching rear sprocket 44-48 tooth. Any vendors that give forum members a discount? Where is your go-to place?

took apart my build-off kart-parts up for grabs PICS ADDED I have the sprocket/hub/brake drum for 3/4" axle and #35 chain. I'll include the brake band, drum, sprocket, chain with sale. I accept PayPal discreet or add 3.5% as a sale. Email is dwcopple@yahoo.com. Kart had under 25 hours on it...
