I'm hitting the wall at 40 MPH I'm running a 6hp tecumseh powersport, comet series 30 TAV, 12:72 sprocket set, 20" drive wheel. I have a homemade header and stock muffler.

well you know just dive into it I started this project june 19th and I'm almost done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI_7FofTgmQ I just added front and rear disc brakes to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX8Cs5FDTnE

yeah I'm interested who has a comet 30 for 70$ : P

Yeah lemme know if you have any specific questions on how to build one up if you are going to use a basic centrifugal clutch and that 72T sprocket let me know I'm about to have a barely used max torque clutch, and that tensioner assembly I made for sale/trade. I'm looking for a torque convertor...

I'm in culver city

text sent, RE the clutch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freewheel Practically every bicycle ever made has one of these in it. Its just a one-way clutch meaning the wheel cant make your bicycle pedals turn but your pedals can force your wheel to turn. I have no doubt both of us could find these on any trashed bicycle...

Thanks, I know its weird huh? its like the vehicle CA forgot about. I've only seen ONE other registered moped, it was in santa monica total chop job like what I have going. I guess its a loophole because CA doesn't expect the average Joe to be able to build something like this. Sooner or later...

Yeah I sent in the paperwork with the serial number for that engine on it. As you can see its going to registered as a modified bicycle with a motor. its only 19$ and my class C license covers its operation as its NOT a motorcycle as defined by the DMV. www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg230.htm 2...

OUCH, what was the exact violation? Ive got my plates in the mail. More videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWhHagI_n1k&list=UUCSOAGMWCHrPrYV05cZegIA&index=3&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7gaUxzuhi8&list=UUCSOAGMWCHrPrYV05cZegIA&index=2&feature=plcp...

Well I have a 6hp tecumseh, Im planning on ordering a 72 tooth rear sprocket, and a 11-12 tooth clutch I'm running a 20" rear wheel

I'm getting my info of the CA DMV page, the sad truth is it all depends on the cop who might be pulling me over and if anyone annoyed him that day :P. I have friends in my local PD so I'm going to test the waters locally and see what happens. The good news is if I find out theres no way to keep...

Dang I have almost the exact same ratio, lemme know what kind of take off your getting.

well I'm gonna give it a shot, worst case scenario I'll just add a jackshaft with a couple of gears. Hey anyone ever put a bicycle style gear shift on a mini bike? I figure I could put a 60 tooth right next to the 72 and have the chain jump like a bicycle.

I'm reading it over it talks about POWER and speed but nothing about engine size, my plan is to do the math (thank you DIYgokarts speed calculator :D ) and find out what 2 hp looks like speed wise or just follow the CA 30 MPH law whichever is less. Then I just make a restrictor plate that...

6 Hp engine, 12T clutch, 72T rear sprocket, 20" driving wheel This is going to be just street. Am I going to have a good takoff with the giant wheel?

well my goal is to govern the engine either with a throttle limiter or some kind of restrictor plate. They were doing it with the pocket bikes for a while and CA considered that good enough make them legal. Meanwhile on private property/out of state I can remove said device and go full throttle.

Thanks for the links heres my first video http://youtu.be/WCC5B6x3FAM

Well I have a ton of free time and I think I have a nice and complex project to keep me busy. This project according CA law has to have functional pedals to qualify as a motorized bicycle. I love these Schwinn Stingrays I keep seeing on youtube and want something I can ride legally on CA...
