Honestly the bike rides extremely smooth. No shakes or vibrations, handles extremely well. And the tires don't really puff up under the speed. So I'm not too worried about the tires. They are brand new tires as well so they're still nice and firm. And the bike doesn't do wheelies, lol...

Oh she runs, she's all finished. Just got done putting a sound system and some red LEDs on it too. Just clocked her yesterday and it tops out at 62 mph

Here she is!

Nice! I was actually going to put rear suspension on this bike but the bike ended up costing me a lot more than I thought it was going to in the end so I skipped that but I was actually going to try and do a lot just like that for my seat, I'm glad somebody else thought of the same thing

Dealing with the hurricane as of now, I live in Florida, so I will get some new oil when advanced auto parts opens back up but the governor will be removed within the next hour or so. Anyone have a link you can share where someone removed theirs from their 420cc predator??

As you guys I'm sure have noticed this bike is already 90% finished I was just sharing the pictures of my step by step process in making this Baja a completely new bike, but as it stands here's the bike 90% finished it still needs a paint job and some cleaning up of the wires and a few other...

Yup, governor is getting removed today!

Added some switches to the handlebars, I added a high and a low switch for my headlights on one side of the bike and on the other side I added a auxiliary switch for Neons I'm adding in the future and I added a two Port USB charger Hub with a battery voltage meter. Lol

Okay I'll get on it.

So you guys really think I should open the engine and remove the gear? I didn't think it would be that big of a deal to leave it in there[COLOR="Silver"] ---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

So I took apart the reflector that's on the back Fender and the reflector actually can be easily removed from the housing so I cut out some rectangles and Mountain from Tiny LED strips inside the cover and cut a small piece of plexiglass to cover the LEDs and I painted it black, I also bought a...

Here is how I bypassed the governor, it wasn't very difficult and I was able to use some parts off of the throttle plate that came with the engine

Ended up bending some 1 inch steel tubing to make a straight pipe header and Got the 40 series torque converter mounted, and I did not have to make any modifications to the engine at all to get this massive belt system to work, and I also made a guard to go around the pulley so it doesn't suck...

Got the electric start key module and the battery mounted. Went with a 12v Duracell AGM 20ah batter from batteriesplus. Everything is mounted. I also decided to add a breather to the valve cover instead of running a rubber line into the intake manifold

Yes, I'm going with the 40 series torque converter from gopowersports.com. Yes I know it's crazy expensive from that site. But they manufacture their own steel back plate to hold the driver pulley and the driven pulley

Okay, so I found a Sportster peanut gas tank on Craigslist that matches up perfectly to the frame of this bike and it looks good!

The motor fits great just need to hook up the throttle cable to it and bypass the governor, I'm not going to remove the gear from inside the engine, Now I need to make a header, I need to find a motorcycle gas tank that will fit on the top bar, I need to wait for my 40 series torque converter...

Now it's time to set the motor in place, line it up and bolt it down and see how she looks

Now it's time to clean up the worlds and paint the bike so nothing starts to rust. I also got my new headlights in the mail today so I will put on some brackets for those as well, and if anybody is curious I bought four 12 volt 35 watt LED light bars

Got everything welded together and I did a dry fit with the motor and everything fits good except this new motor is quite a bit wider than the stock motor so it looks like I'm going to have to widen the frame about an inch and also continue the motor plate in the new section I welded in and also...
