I toke the front fork off of my sons CT200U so I could weld 2 reinforcement plates on the front of the frame and neck I did not pay any attention to bolt orientation when I disassembled the front end Things to keep in mind 1# this boy is cautious at first but confidents grows 2x the pace as his since does 2# 6.5 hp to the very least 15 hp honestly after double checking my math on paper we are running 12.9:1 compression with enough lift and duration to show any predictor that we come across why Tillotson designed their Hemi head as an improvement over predictor well I did put a .570 compression height pred flat top but after spending $40 on a kit to cut valve reliefs wish I would have put a wiesco in it in the first place 3# I also need recommendations on installing disc brakes all around I just need to know what rims to replace my PPP 8” rims with also just a random question about mini bikes is I am curious as to why you hardly every see foot brake setups on minis dirt bikes and 4X4’s always have the rear brake operated by foot

Wow, that was one heck of a run-on sentence. I only skimmed it looking for question marks. ;)
Found none and no other punctuation either..

Strange title for a post but, eh. Carry on! :cornut:

As to not put my 12 yr old son in unneeded danger​

Um...maybe just don't let him ride the bike with the "souped up" engine on it. (for now)

Set up a bike (or kart) with a stock engine, for him
...maybe even chose an engine with less power (like a 3.5HP)

Then, you'all could ride together
...& you could monitor his skill progression ;)

My experience says no matter how obvious and no matter how you explain it, a young male teenster that's told that he can't ride something with a "lawnmower" engine will never really be understanding about it.
My 15-years old (at that time) absolutely could not quietly accept that he wasn't allowed to ride Dad's big toy. It was the last one ever again (of 8) barely street legal dirt bikes that had without fail gotten bigger each time. Was still just a lil' ole Suzuki 120 mph 650cc dirt bike...............

I am big on math and science and after dropping out off school I started my own business. I am not book smart but my gorgeous wife and I make good money and we choose who we take on as clients just saying punctuation doesn’t do anything for me. My son has been riding ATV’s for years I just wanted to make sure I had the bolt oriented correctly. Also I was hoping for recommendations on front and rear rims to mount disc brakes 19X7-8 is tje tire size
