[edzgarage]

@bugnutz43847683 Thanks for the comment! It was a fun project.

[carabela125]

I'd like one with a 750 motor.

[edzgarage]

@carabela125 That would be a wild ride!

[MsPatch2011]

GREAT JOB BOYS I WISH I COULD DO THAT!!!!!!

[edzgarage]

@MsPatch2011 Thanks! It was a lot of fun to do.

[mistery922]

[edzgarage]

@mistery922 You want about 2 inches of play to insure proper chain adjustment. Hope this helps 0_o

[67euroskelf]

[edzgarage]

[edzgarage]

@teamhp Yes I did. Watch the update video and see how I fixed it.

[2553shean]

[edzgarage]

@2553shean Not if it left you stranded as many time as this one did to me!

[watchdancingfrogs]

[bscross32]

[gokartsRfun]

what camera did you use for the pictures at the end?

[edzgarage]

@gokartsRfun It was a Canon 20D with a 50mm 1.8f lens.

[gokartsRfun]

@edzgarage yeah I figured it was adslr camera, it was really good quality

[carnivore10]

Ed that really does look good!! Great job guys!

[edzgarage]

@carnivore10 Thanks Buddy!

[Needmorehorsepower]

geeez looks like factroy  nice work m.o.d.m. how did the gearing work out ed i would think the 4 stroke would need to be geared down a little bit as the 2 stroke would be more torquey very nice work you all should be very proud what a great father son project

[edzgarage]

@Needmorehorsepower Thanks Scott! It was a lot of fun to do. The gearing is 3 to 1 and it feels pretty good. I may mess with it once I have all the bugs worked out.

[hoppes9]

You may still want to add a fiber spacer between the carb and the the head. If you flog it enough you'll boil the gas in the carb...

[edzgarage]

@hoppes9 You are so correct! I have one on order and already started a video on that. Thanks for the comment!

[mdlrr1]

Nice job Ed! Looks like it was a lot of work.

[edzgarage]

@mdlrr1 It was and it was a lot of fun too! Thanks for watching!

[racer4560]

[edzgarage]

@racer4560 Thanks a lot buddy!

[starpuss]

nice job. i got my it175 going the other day also (video on my youtube ch) i have a spare frame and all the parts i am thinking of doing the same thing you did to my other bike.

[edzgarage]

@starpuss I did like the old 175, but it was just to hard keep running and the parts are getting real scarce. Good luck on the project.

[crsvky28]

Looked like the exhaust clearance itself on the plastic fender lol good work!!

[edzgarage]

@crsvky28 lol It did eventually! Thanks for the comment!

[mstruckerboy]

You are a great mechanic, Ed and masteroutdoorsman! It really came along good too! :-)

[vidman008]

Great Video.. I am Very Impressed with how it turned out.. I would have given up long ago.. Ummmm, don't worry about the front fender hitting the exhaust pipe.. It will eventually BURN away, then it won't hit anymore.. :-p

[edzgarage]

@vidman008 Thanks Ron! The fender will be modified one way or another.

[chox2001]

well I will say you did an awesome job I had my doubts but you have a great team there.
