I have about 120 miles on my staton gear and chain setup and I absolutely love it.
I have a 6.3 mile each way commute and as long as the rain isnt fallin' I am on it.
I have the RS 35 4 cycle and it is perfect for my thru town trip.
That said, I am a chronic tinker-a-holic and I can never leave well enough alone.
In the corner of my shop I have a "hot rod" 2 stroke that is bad to the bone the clutch and mounting holes are the same as the RS so it looks like it will bolt right up.
It has a big bore kit large carb and pipe....it probably develops 5hp or so.
On my staton setup I have the heavy duty 12 gauge spokes and the mount itself feels rock solid.
My question to you experienced folks is: if I swap the 1.6hp motor out for the 5+hp motor will the hub/spoke hold up or will this just be a spoke breaker?
