I was think'n about getting moped chassis and putting a dirtbike engine in it.
What engines would be a good size, I was hoping for a RM85 but I don't think that will fit. I am just looking into this so don't flame me for not knowing everything.
THINGS THAT COULD POSE A PROBLEM............
Chain size and fit: I could have a local machine shop weld a sprocket hub on the back axle.
Mounting: I could fab some crappy engine mounts.
Throttle:??????????????
I should be able to use stock breaks, right?
I may have to make my own shift foot lever but ow...well.
I know I would need to get my motorcycle license because of the engine size, but am going for that next spring anyway.
Please post any other problems that I could have.
