To be completely fair, grind the numbers off the head, and no one will know. The actual power output of those chinese engines won't surpass your learner licence anyway.
Looks good. Will keep an eye on this. |

Hey chaps my friends got a DEP silencer from a 2 stroke in perfect condish
https://www.missionmx.co.uk/acatalog/dep_exhaust_silencer_2_stroke_150.jpg
Same as this.
Will It work for my bike?
I dont know if it makes a difference because it's a 2 stroke or not
i know 2 strokes have an expansion chamber but this is just a silencer ?

As you can see in the pics there is hardly any room for the Exhaust Downpipe to fit into the engine because it hits the arm only by about 1mm
It's been slightly altered so the pipe fits in (when i got the bike i test rode it with no exhaust and it sounded like crap)

The Swinging engine support bar has only 1 fixing right now but its getting extended to the bottom to catch the under engine mount point too also going to be shaped to flare out like a little belly pan
also having two support bars coming off the frame to hold the rear top mount (see pics)
Progress pics on the front tomorrow
EDIT: the Kickstart clearly hits the footpeg
Making a custom one

am i asking to much? |
Yes.
Its an illegal, mongrel of clapped out unpopular bike with an even less common, chinese motor....
Go on, try and sell it to me, when I start asking really impertinent questions about reliability, spares support, and stuff like that!
Its worth something to YOU becouse you have built it, but to any opne else its a BAD risk.... foirst becouse its not what it pretends to be on the log book, then becouse it doesn't conform to any known standard spec, with lots of stuff in its mix they have no idea about, any mechanic they take it to will be scratching thier head over, and thats before the concerns over whether all teh welds you have made to teh frame are going to crask or break and cause them to crash, Or what would happen if they got stopped by the rozzers, or anything else.
Sorry.... yeah, some numpty might think it a great gag and give you silly money for it, but I doubt they are a thousand pound 'silly'!
Lets be realistic here; if any-oine wanted a hi-po dirt bike, and had a grand in spare change, they'd be looking for a DT.... what can your bike do SO much better that would make it worth as much as a DT?
Lets try £750. Anyone with that kind of money could have an older DT or a KMX, or play it safe with four stroke, 125 like an XR or City-Fly.
If they don't have that kind of money, well, into beggers and choosers territory, and even older dirt donks, boring commuters and chinese 'rubbish'.... that market warrants £500... with chinese bikes, which with that engine, yours essentially is, without even the benefit of being the 'safer' CG derived lump.... to offset any notional performance gain from being twice the size it should.
So, may look nice, but when you come down to it, what do you REALLY think any-one is likely to actually give you in real folding money?
From earlier comments, about doing your test and getting A2....
My advice, rather than 'risk' £75 on being refused a test.... add £50 to that and book your test through a school on a hire bike...... its not an issue then.
ONCE you have the licence in your pocket... you have a perfect bike to ride out your two year restriction, riding the thing perfectly legally, provided you declare the capacity change.
If you have the faith in your workman ship, then you can get the value from your effort using the thing......
I DOUBT you'll get value, probably not even what you have spent on it, trying to sell it on as some kind of 'super cheater' learner-illegal!
There are a LOT 'safer' ways to be learner illegal at that kind of money, or a LOT less. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

I agree with you mike but when i'm finished it's not going to be
"an illegal, mongrel of clapped out unpopular bike with an even less common, chinese motor"
It's going to be Have 4 engine mounts
One top front
One top bottom
One rear front
One rear bottom
With professional welding work each mount will have a M10 spaced bolt with Nylock nuts holding it in place, The engine can't move and it wont go anywhere. I'm taking this bike greenlaning because i know it will pull its own weight.
and i get the feeling when i say my step dads a professional welder you think i'm lying he's done custom work all his life, Rebuilt cars from ground up right now he's working on his triumph Stag.
I've seen people pay stupid money for bikes and this bike is going to be safe,legal and pretty when i'm finished.
Anyway your right about it being for me it's the main reason i'm doing it for me not for profit ill use it as a 125 for 2 months book and take my a2 declare it, ride it until i'm bored then sell it for what i can as a 250.
