Shift system for 2stroke chinese motor

Im thinking in buying a shift system to my chinese 2stroke motor, but SBS is away to x-penssive, is better to buy a old motorbike than buying a $200 SBS shift kit...

Someone knows a less expenssive place where I can buy this shifts?
Thanks
 
You will not be able to beat sick bike parts price.
I use a cvt on one of my bikes .
I still used $150.00 dollars of sick bike parts .
And was very glad they sold their parts so inexpensively.
Get a heavy duty free wheel.

A cvt on a happy time is very hard to do.

SBP shift kit is worth every penny!

However, after having a HT with SBP and a Titan 4 stroke on a "scooter guy".....

my .02 = go with the "scooter guy" set up. Quietier, no oil to mix, shifts the same. Looks a little weird at first.

Not True by a lobg shot my friend... i made a jackshaft for my brother 49cc MTB ) for well weeeeeeelll under half the price of a SBS INCLUDING the freewheel crank! (i have seen others on THIS site also made for less IMHO HUGELY over priced...They cost more than the freakin motor last time i looked :-S YOU DONT have to use their parts standard bearing holders work fine, scrap metal for the plate the cogs were from motorcycle wreckers cost under 20 bucks for two. SBS system is excellent don't get me wrong for those that aren't capable of fabricating their own, that said, it really isn't too difficult.

$30.50 plus shipping from sick bike parts.
Over $100.00 from any place else.

If you know what you are looking for and can scrounge like a god.
You might beat their price
These are new parts not recycled.

I used standard crankset and used a standard freewheel to make my own freewheel cranks...cost nothing was all scrounged from curbside collection...

p.s OR for $US25 bucks you can go direct to Cyclone Taiwan and lose the markup SBS puts on them :p h ec k ...for 48 bucks you can get the freewheel cranks WITH shaft bearings and sprocket....that is of course if you wish to use poor quality components...these setups are the Achilles heel of the cyclone kits, I've lost count of threads i have seen on Endless Sphere complaining about them, the freewhel needs to be replaced with a quality item from Eno expensive but bullet proof...prolly stand up lil better to the less powerful 49cc and 66cc ICE motors than they do the electrics but still will fail eventually ...

SBP = Sick Bike Parts (what is SBS?)

Anyway, and Cyclone Taiwan will charge how much freight plus the $US25 to the USA?

I'm sure you can, if you ignore your fab time, make a kit less some of parts for a lower price.

the freewhel needs to be replaced with a quality item from Eno expensive but bullet proof...

Actually you can get a HD freewheel from SBP.
 
If you really want to go there i'll play...

a typo

The OP NEVER mentioned where he was from but you simply asuuuume hes in USA...Typical ...Pablo believe it or not there are other countries OUTSIDE of the USA :: shock :: ... im in Australia...WHAT will YOU charge freight to Australia is the question that needs answering...postcode 6076 look forward to your quote...Wont be as cheap as it is from Taiwan OR anywhere near as fast though...good luck with that...

I'm sure you can, if you ignore your fab time, make a kit less some of parts for a lower price.

Not "can" "have" as your very well aware Pablo took less than 2 hours lets say $30 an hour thats 60 bucks cost less than 50 in parts so still less than half price of your product and does the same job ...didnt need modifications after the fact to stop flexing either just quietly.....your prolly also well aware many others on this site have also done so.

Can't blame you for sticking up for your product I too will recommend SBP on occasion if it is warranted i have heard nothing but good regarding customer service and satisfaction well done on that front...i have nothing personal against you or your company Pablo simply don't like the prices you charge for the shift kit its ridiculous for what it is IMHO..It cost more than a freakin motor for gods sake how can you justify that?..Fortunate fact for you is people will buy it as they don't have the ability/resources/time to fab their own so matters little anything i say here unfortunately.

Actually you can get a HD freewheel from SBP.

OR again you could go DIRECT to where you buy them from Pablo (SBP) White Industries ooor any other local bike shop that stocks them for that matter.

Any more components you would like to discuss suppliers for feel free i have nothing but time to help the good members of MotorerdBikes save $$$ :p

Don't forget that freight quote mate interested to see what your going to charge, UPS too please registered AND insured.Cheers in advance

Freight for cranks to Australia will be $12. Freewheel $12. A full kit $42. USPS Registered and insured. Actually we ship to Australia (100's of kits!) and all over the world every day. (Argentina, Brazil, UK, Bulgaria, Israel, Iraq, South Africa, Malaysia, NZ, Aus to name a few) So by mentioning USA freight I was just stating an example and I was not being xenophobic.

I think the average person would take more than two hours to design and fab plates, gears, shaft, etc. For the average MB person? 4-6 hours, shop costs, etc, then all the parts. How will folks at home make our gears? I know there are ways around this - but we are doing a comparison here. $120 labor at least plus $150+ worth of parts at least for someone to do an exact set-up.....Listen - we don't discourage people from saving money and doing a set up themselves I can't think of any time we have done this. In fact we sell parts to people doing customs all the time. We are actually a low cost Cyclone seller and one of the largest Cyclone customers. (And our freight bills from Taiwan prove it :sick: )

Our costs are our costs - determined by the cost of our landed materials (and no not everything in the kit is a cheap OTS part), what the market will bear and our sense of fairness. To have gears custom made, to have steel, aluminum and plastic pieces fabbed to drawing in 100 lots the USA is not a free proposition. To compare to a crude engine assembled by folks for $1-2 day may give you some claim in your mind, but it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

Feel free to try to buy OUR (DESIGN) HD FW from White. They won't sell to you - so that's another 15 minutes at $30/hour down the tube. :giggle: (Sorry couldn't resist having some fun with this mate) Besides - if you knew our wafer thin mark-up on the the HD FW, most would wonder why we bother!

I don't want some internet battle to break out - I'm just saying bro, I love YOUR work, you are the MAN, but when you say our prices are "ridiculous" I think it's a bit of an exaggeration. From your point of view, our prices are high. That's fine, that's your opinion but our prices are NOT ridiculous or outrageous.

Thanks,

Paul
