This is just the start of what is to come. So far i have 2005 honda 50 (plastics , fuel tank, and seat) renthal bars,pro grips, new brake lever, 3 new tires, and acerbis handguards. During the winter i want to add; new pipe-running through frame and out center rear under seat, or above footpegs rather than below{stock}), also billet thumbthrottle, open style polished breather, dual halogen mountain bike headlights with rechargable battery pack. etc, etc......
I welded a threaded rod into a hole i drilled in a 2x2 block. I then welded the block to the frame which allowed the tank to bolt on. I then did a little bending to the factory rear mounts which allowed the seats rear bracket to easily bolt on. I also made a little brace under the middle of the seat for support. The rider position is ALOT lower now and theres not much cushion to absorb the trails but when it comes to wheelies, theres no better way. I can pull it up from a stand still at low rpm and just burb the gas to keep it up and ride it out to fourth gear, but a wheelie bar of some sort might prevent the skull fracture i keep dodging. lol
If we ever get some snow here in Toronto Canada, a friend and i want to try installing chains on the rear tires and fabbing up a mount for an old motoski ski in the front forks. I think it would be funny as hell and quite possibly ridable.
