Making progress on the fatkid

[oldskool83]

80's mixed with 2000's for the fat-kid. I've come to realize it's cool to be different.

Finished the Lift. Centering wheel and turning new stainless steel axle spacer next week.

FAT KID has the look now. Front wheel is centered with the cut up OEM 84 front brake plate. I have to make a new stainless steel axle spacer for non brake side since the stock steel one is badly pitted at the seal surface.

Not much left to do. Maybe done by March 1

Waiting for a seal kit for the yz426f front caliper to come in. Than size up a new front brake line and call it done....i think.

Sweet build! My brothers and I got some 185/200's last year and they are so much fun. Looking forward to hearing a ride report!

[oldskool83]

Waiting on stainless brake line and want to redo my diamond plate top for front rack.

It's nearly all done.

Jamal aka BBC aka the bigred works runs drives stops....this thing is fun! The motor is the quietest 200 series Honda motor Ive ever had with a 1st gen Honda 200. It fires up no choke like an EFI machine. I have 45 mins run time on it so far.

Now to finish my newer High performance KTM 4 stroker.

The suspension is certainly nice, as is the electric start and dual range, but those brakes take the cake.

Will make riding steep terrain a lot more controlled and enjoyable. No white knuckle death grip on that front brake, for sure. Your front brake looks very comforting, like it'll hold back the tide. The dual pot caliper has me relaxed.

Nothing like trying to modulate the rear down a super steep hill and begging a stock front brake to do something. That has me sweating just thinking about it.

Brakes are so underrated, they're the last thing most people think of for performance, but probably the best first upgrade on just about anything.

Super sweet build altogether. It's a trail Cadillac, and will make for a fun and relaxing ride, even capable of a walking pace without abusing the clutch. Can ride behind those trail blocking 100+hp, 2mph side by sides and not replace the clutch afterwards.

Walk around. Still trying to dial it in.https://youtube.com/shorts/vNcMktGJV...71DxrB_zf6DTSU
