So after my other custom got liberated from me I picked up a trail-z from Walmart out of necessity. I used it and determined that this platform was destined for a gas conversion. I've put together some parts and need 3 major components to get fab started.
The plan is using a 5:1 trans, and an 11t "8mm pitch" with a 44t drive gear on the left hand freewheel. This is very straightforward in design, all I need to do is remove the electric motor from the mount plate and attach the new 5:1trans as well as the L/H freewheel and 44t in place of the 20t #40 sprocket. I've chosen a cy46r for power, I plan on using a 2L tear drop tank and modding the carb for single feed w/o primer. This bike need a front end upgrade to be great " the stock shocks are bent from a customer running into a parked car." I think I want to run triple trees but I want shocks on the front as well as a front disc brake, but the completion of fab isn't held up by that. I want a good quality twist throttle with a killswitch, not a cheap plastic one. This bike needs to be top notch so I'm not ashamed to ride it. The 3 things I need to start deconstruction and fab are, engine, fuel tank and throttle/w cable.
Any thoughts or comments? Has any one done a trail-z conversion before?
