Which chopper is this?

[ridin_low07]

Picked it up today and need to get a couple various nuts and bolts along with a fuel shutoff valve...... any ideas?

I'm not a chopper guy.. But, it looks alot like the one you just bought. But a 200cc Honda clone with a suicide shift.. Comes to mind.

 

[ridin_low07]

I'm picking up a predator 420 soon and thinking about stuffing that in there.

Looks like one of those Chinese 49cc choppers that got stripped...
Hopefully the rear sprocket is a common pitch size...

 

[ridin_low07]

The sprocket is gonna be 420. At least the last chopper I tried was. The issue I had with the last chopper is that I could not for the life of me find a petcock. I ordered 3 different ones for it and the threads just would not match up.

 

[mckutzy]

Take it to a plumbing store or the like... Match something, then relocate the petcock... Doesn't need to be directly located on the tank...

Had a little free time this morning so I figured I'd try out my ke125 front wheel on the chopper. Not sure if I an gonna run this one or not. It has a built in disc brake which I like because it cleans the front end up. The downside is that it uses a 10mm axle instead of a 12mm. I can run the 10mm in the dropouts along with spacers to center the wheel. Just gonna have to go pick up the correct m10 9" bolt. What do yall think?

Since you asked, I like the original wheel better.

Lol. I am unsure if this is what I will run. I don't want the original wheel as its too small for my taste. The KE125 wheel I had laying around. I may go with a sportster wheel not sure.

Powerland still has some 390cc engines at 159.99 shipped. Might be a cheaper option unless you wanna keep the electric start.

I picked up my new never seen gas or oil 420 today for 20.

 

[ridin_low07]

Ok so stripped the 420 down to just the motor and starter... took the key start apart to see how it works and where I can stuff it later on. I have to do some major surgery on this frame in order to get the motor to fit right along with some sort of transmission. Buddy of mine keeps saying I need to just use the 250 I have from my Chinese quad but I don't wanna mess with that big ol rats nest of wiring. Without further adieu.....

Major surgery would include flipping the motor around because in its current config, that'll be a bike that only goes in reverse.

He doesn't need to flip the motor around. It might just be easier to turn the frame 180º.

 

[ridin_low07]

The motor is facing the wrong way for a reason. I have to source some more parts in order to pull it off but after its put together yall will understand lol.

 

[Bbqjoe]

I think those choppers were only designed for Cox .049's.

 

[mckutzy]

Id be curious to see how this is going to reverse the direction of operation...
Off hand......let me guess... a new reverse grind cam, an intake/exhaust port swap, flip ignition coil and relocate woodrift key position(or re-lap crank to new ignition position..)

 

[Rail rider]

A double geared Jack shaft... Is my guess..

 

[mckutzy]

only thing I can see also happening... is he is using the idler as the driveing shaft... with chains of course...

 

[Bbqjoe]

I'd pay a buck to see anyone ride a respectable distance on it going backwards!
