[Edgarbopp]

@heights9000 do you know how to weld? if not i would start with learning to weld. after that all it takes is work. =)

[NASTYTHEBOY]

aye you never resopond :(

how hard is the electic start to get and install!?

[Edgarbopp]

@NASTYTHEBOY i never could get it to work as well as i wanted. i just pull start it.

[NASTYTHEBOY]

@Edgarbopp ohs, yah, the pull start is the only give away that theese things are utility engine :/ yours and mine both you did and amasing job =]

[lenalik2000]

Hate to see this nice bike to be turned in to this ugly lawn tractor.

[Edgarbopp]

@lenalik2000 =P

[RifatTV]

i hope your legs doesn't get burned

[saintice45]

is that the tank that came with the bike? or did you guys make that mother? that's effin incredible.

[TheAdde318]

I prob watch you'r chopper vids over 100times now, really love it!

I recently bought a Honda gx270, do you think it will fit aswell with some minior mods?

//318

[Edgarbopp]

@TheAdde318 haha quite the big engine for this bike! you will need to build the lower part of the bike well to handle the power and weight. the front forks will handle the extra weight though, they are quite strong. as far as it fitting goes, you can make anything fit, it just depends how much modification you want to do. post a video of your progress and let me know if i can help =)

[TheAdde318]

@Edgarbopp Thanks alot ;)

I'll let you know when the video is uploaded.

//318

[harleykeers1996]

that thing is nice its not just hacked together like most of them thing is sweet

check out my channel

[andrewstunna]

im trying to get this same bike if so can you please give me the dimesion on the bottom part you customized

[drosa0331]

would you recomend the torque converter or would you go with a centrifugal clutch and why?

[Edgarbopp]

@drosa0331 torque converter is the clear winner for this sort of project. if you will be going primarily one speed a centrifugal clutch is slightly more better at transferring energy because it locks up and allows the engine shaft to directly drive the sprocket. but if you want take off power and speed wile keeping your RPMs in a normal range a Torq-a-verter style converter can't be beat.

[francescoescobar]

it would be nice if you make ride with an onboard camera =)

[Edgarbopp]

@francescoescobar i'm working on rigging up a helmet cam =)

[BullsEyeRocker]

You need to add a mini round head light  BAD ASS!!!!
