Yeah, Danlan... you look like you're almost done..I was thinking about getting that exact DIY kit, the M50 bike. Ive built 2 others from bikes I had been riding, just ordered the engine. Doesnt look like you got a lot of room to work on that M50. Im interested to see how that expansion chamber fits in there! If itll clear the pedal and chain stay. That down tube really looks big! At least 1 3/4" right? Your chain runs pretty steep angle...must be a 36T sprocket, Hope that all works out for you. Hope you post some pix when your done! Cheers, Apache

I have checked Bike Berry and it looks like they don't have the M50 listed. I have the M50 and had to change a few things to get the engine to fit. ( billet intake, large front mount, slant head). With the billet intake I had to cut off the clutch riser bar and use a roller set up (from Al Fisherman) I used the straight & shorter intake so the throttle cable would clear the top tube & air filter would clear the seat post tube. It's a 44 tooth sprocket. After chain stretch I will take another link or two out. I have the SBP chamber on now, it clears using the stock mufler header pipe. These are pics from last week. I will post up dated pics in a day or two.

MICARGI pics

SBP chamber, angle head, speed carb, billet intake & large front mount. Just need to trade grip shifters for thumb style, add a head lamp & rear rack/fender.

For some reason I can only post 2 pics at a time The front mount is the 1 7/8-2'' one

Nice job, Dan!...with not much room to work.I like the bike. With the slant head and X chamber that bike is going to haul a-- That SBP pipe really fits in there nice with the silencer on it...did you have much trouble with it or did you have everything you need in kit? ( Im looking at that SBP pipe, getting tired of my noisy Xchamber w/o silencer) Chain looks like a good angle, like mine. I keep mine real tight. you do any porting on that engine? just wondering...Nice bike! Cheers,Apache

I have had it it to 30 MPH on the flat & over 32 on a slight down hill. (would go faster, but did not want to -YET-) It gave me allot more power for a dead stop ( no peddling ) take offs & Will accelerate on up hills! I could not fit the pipe with all the parts it came with. I used the copper tube, silicone hose, and a 3/4 copper coupler i got at a plumbing supply store (1.49) 1 spring & 4 hose clamps. I cut the mufler off a stock pipe added coupler, straight tube to get the angle and length to get it to fit. Have not done any porting on this one (I have 2 so I will do some porting on the other one. Then swap them) Remember to change rear mount studs grade 8.8, if your going to use the M50 bike. Stock will brake!!!

 

[danlandberg]

Change as many (if not all) studs to grade 8 or better!!! Or this will happen. And why were the intake & ex. studs shouldered on one engine and all thread on the other??? This is pics of broken studs, wrong studs and X chamber trial fitting.
