50cc To 150cc Engine Swap By monstergy6 (Read 6,097 times)

Hi guys, well we finally got the 150cc motor mounted in a new 50cc frame, this one is for one of our customers and he wanted a 235 Fatty rear tire kit with the engine swap. We are not completely done, but I thought I would at least post a few photos.

Very cool Steven, I'm sure that lucky guy loves it. I can't wrap my head around the Uni on the front of the engine, what's going on there? Also, are the handling characteristics hinky with that wide rear tire? On the motorcycle forums some guys swear by them, and some guys swear at them. In any event, that is one special scooter. Rich

He he he he he, that's sick in a demented kind of way. You and the costumer must be just a tad on the twisted side which of course means I'm liking it. Two thumbs up!

Thanks guys, the carb faces forward on this unit so the Uni is forward and I have a tube so as not to loose the compartment under the seat, also we have a 30mm carb on this one.

Twisted, mmm I like it. Thjis one has a 235 tire, but I have one that we will be starting on soon with a 235 rear Fat tire

These engine swap brackets are available for sale in a Fatty or Regular Tire.

Doesn't look like you need a kickstand

And we even have a wider tire that that one

Now you've REALLY got my attention! I've been wanting to turn my carb forward for a long time and never been able to find a feasible way to do it. How did you manage that, isn't the bowl at too steep of an angle? Rich

[monstergy6]

It is more of an angle than normal, but it does not present a problem. The advantage is if you are running a Uni or K&N it is protected from rain etc.
Also on this kit the scooter is stretched, meaning the motor is almost 11" back, so there is a lot of room, you don't need to mess with the storage compartment.
