Dirt bug 97cc swap to 212!

[Wildsquad]

Whew.... we killed the 97cc tiny dirtbug and it's clutch! We had a 7hp duramax 212cc laying around and to my surprise it fit! 4 new bolt holes later and this sluggish machine now hits 47mph on road!
Thought I'd share my first completed build! I need a new seat...

What's your thoughts?

While it is at higher speeds, my 9 year old wears full gear and rides it carefully on the farm. Plenty of torque I want to put a torque converter because myself being a larger man I'm burning up the clutch imo on takeoffs

Dangerous is a good thing around here! We are mostly guys around here. As guys we do a lot of stupid and dangerous things without thinking. We get hurt sometimes doing those things but we have fun! Guys can be like giant toddlers sometimes. At least that’s how I’ve been described and I’m 56 years old. I think it looks great by the way and a 30 series TAVII would be a great addition.

Well I wiped out on it pretty hard on a normal run and I made the wrong choice on that run and didn't wear my helmet. I was around 40mph when the chain let loose and wrapped the rear axel. The bike stopped on a dime and I didn't took a tumble and roll minor concussion later I'm solid and the wife said no more 2 wheel machines everything must have 3 or more

This is our first 3 wheeler we made! It needs a 30 series we have one ordered but man she hits 55 on open road easily beats everything I own!

See, I told you. Giant toddlers!
Like the trike, kinda crude and kinda cool.

You wife does know you can get hurt easier on a 3 wheeler easier than a 2 wheeler right? Think tricycles.

Hmmm. 55mph on that? Make sure you have made arrangements with your local independent insurance agent.
