BUILD DESCRIPTION

Garage leftovers from other builds. Bought the bike super cheap with 4 coats of different spray paint on it from previous owner and in ugly completely stock, ugly, and not running condition. Sweet flames though! ha. Scraped some paint off so it looked even crappier, hacked the frame up then worked on the AV7 - raised exhaust, lowered intake, and widened/matched transfers. Le partie CDI, 15 SHA Carb, Ninja G2 Pipe, re-used the hard tail from a prior build (buddy made it so it bolts/unbolts! out of BMX forks), Seat off an old 80s? girls Huffy bike. Hobbit forks, ER3 variator, Rips off the line- faster than a stock hobbit with a proma from stop sign to stop sign tops out around 38mph. Need to downjet, lighten the spring/change it, and add a launch lever.

Shane Johnson: Stock pulley. Shouldnt effect top speed at all. Figured out my problem is the stock spring is not allowing the er3 to fully variate, even with all the weights loaded up. Switching to strut because im not going to put a $90 doppler spring on this rig.


RufusVonRieles: What pulley is that playa? Can't help but wonder if that's affecting your top end speed.?.?.?
