BEAUTIFUL!!! Now here comes the questions!!!

Does the arnada body pieces fit just like that??? Or did you have to highly modify the body panels in order to get them to sit so nicely on the frame? How about the forks and head set? Cut and Chop??? would you have some pictures of the cut and chop for the front fork set-up????????

What motor you planning on using?

jus had to do a few welds for the floor to fit. LOL its all old plastics so some of the tabs are missing, thats why god invented zip ties haha! The fork is just cut and slammed, dont need any travel since the track is nice and flat. I didnt do a disc front end, way to heavy, and the track has alot of run off so the front brakes are fine, good for bun outs!
As for the motor right now im borrowing a customers one i built for him a few months ago. Its a 121cc 54 bore X 52.6 crank, 33 keihin carb, custom pipe, 8.5 gears. So far it ran a 9.6 @ 68 mph in the 1/8 , 16.0 @ 73 mph. For a none ported bore it runs pretty well! If everything works out i should have my new motor done by the next race..

Is the headset sitting on arnada handle bars or elite??? Is that a zip tie conversion too?

its a "89e" bar with small tabs welded on for the head set to fit, zip ties are just for now, hehe i have to put back all the lights and blinkers, gauge back in it.

Light bulb light bulb!

Does anyone on the island sell stock arnada parts that ship to the mainland???

arnadas are all gone pretty much for good..plastics there is a few around. LOL but if your planning to make it a street bike conversion,, it wont work, no room for the gas tank..

I mean, when you leave the line, does it wheelie up??

yes burnt that was a 1/4 mile run! guys were flipping at the track , since alot of street cars are in that area of time! haha last time i grudge matched a honda 400 dirt bike, lost to him at the top end,played catch up from the start. He blew up his motor trying to beat me HAHA!

Tow, yes that stretch works! I pull 2.1 sec in the 60 fot timer, alot faster than most street cars. As of now it spins the tire about 6 feet off the line. I just dropped the front even more as in the pic. it use to be higher, it used to carry the front wheels for 3 to 4 feet. So i figured it looks nicer dropped, i can survive it not pulling the wheels for now. We tested some NOS on another bike, once we figure it out, then ill slap my set up on. From the testing so far, im defiantly going to make some wheelie bars!

ill get some other pics of under the seat and stuff, it turned out pretty kool! got some other pics of it at my myspace,!

Nice!..... Sounds like you need a stickier rear tire. If you can find one, you'll need to fab a wheelie bar for sure.

Did you extend the rear wheel?
