    where can i get cheap motor cycle engine?

    CL has been the hotspot for me.. The past two weeks i have found an 02 CBR600RR motor, Tranny, And harness for $250, Then 2 01 Kawi zx6 motors, 1 harness, 1 airbox, and 1 fuel pump for $150 flat. Always seem to find the good deals when i have no money / no need. Would a Pitbike engine make a...

    chopper or bobber from <50cc scooter??

    every thread ive come across, Says to sell the moped complete, and buy a more suiteable engine.. I figure if the engine can get a 100lb moped to fifty, It should have no problem getting a 40lb mini chopper to around the same speed, Which would make me happy! Ill just have to go over my MoPed...

    Yamaha 650cc Offroad / UTV build.

    Yup I pulled the stater and it's froze up. Guess it's time to try and snag one from eBay. I cut the shifter handle off, cleaned up that side of the frame and started painting it to see what the final color was gonna look like. After seeing how little one can of the $5 paint covers, I think I'll...

    25cc 2 stroke

    Personally if i were you, Id buy a "Monkey / Runt" bike, And a Go-Ped Sport frame. Cut the rear "Motor mount" off the sport frame, As well as the runt bike.. Weld them together, Bolt on your motor with a .750 spindle on a solid tire, And wheelie for days. A heavy cart on the other hand, Not so...

    Found an 03 CBR 600RR a guy bought for a kart, And wants to now sell for $275, Motor harness and header. How hard would wiring be as far as putting it onto a kart? Is it as simple as bind these wires together on a switched 12v, ground these, hook up linkages / chain and go? I can handle simple...

    5 Hp Racing motor transformed into 30Hp on dyno.

    What do you want out of the kart? Just daily fun on the streets / dirt, Or do you plan on racing. You could get a bike or snowmobile engine if you wanted it bad enough, No matter where your at. Ebay, Sportbike forums, Ect.. Shipping shouldnt be TOO bad.
