rebirth of a fiddy

[Avatard]

I'd love to have built it, just for giggles. Magazine project, or something (ie: someone else's nickel)...

Hell, it's probably a shitload different now. The best forks are like $1500.

You can pretty much build a fiddy from after market parts alone and just buy the engine case as the only honda part.

I have one with an 88 kit. (Cheater kit, the cylinder still says 49cc).
Still has the semi auto 3 speed tranny, and it runs pretty well. Although a 117 kit and a 4 or 5 speed manual would be awesome...

Hell just a 108 is freakin bad ass. I can't go beyond 88 or I get knocked out of the division I race in and have to compete against some pretty hoped up china bikes and would have to invest a ton into my bike to out run them. The 88 kit is much more competitive and fun, so I am going to stick to that group.

The rules we are under now are pretty lax. Lax as in wheel size (2 flavors, 10 or 12 inch), and max displacement (160cc for 4 strokers, and 65cc for 2 smokers).

12 inch aren't allowed in the 88cc class. It's too much of an advantage. They are allowed in the do what you want class. The 88cc class is the cost efficient class too. Doesn't take much to get them to 88cc and be competitive against anyone.

TB racehead. I know someone that has TB connections, so I can usually get some awesome deals from time to time.
