MOPED ARMY

I know a guy who's done this. Hmmmm...

Yep- This is the guy http://www.mopedarmy.com/resources/mod/el_pollo_diablo/

how about a pug topend with a spacer between the cylinder and the e50 to make up for the longer stroke. anyone have anything to say on that matter?

thanks

I dont think theres enough case material to cut the derbi pyramid top transfer port out without adding surface area. Plus the cylinder skirt is way thicker on derbi cylinders which means case boring ala metra/gila/parma 80 style. a project for sure.

i think he is going to have to weld more surface regardless. he wants to go big dog. so thats what he is going ot have to do

if you wanna go nuts. weld the surface and the stud holes. make it big enough you can take some away. and throw on some crazy ass scooter kit. after you press the con rod of said kit. into the crank of a puch

i was planning on getting wild with some jb and my dremmel, probably not real welds.... any thouhgts on that? i did some searching on this kx 80 cylinder and it looks like its water cooled 45.8mm stroke... hows that slap on drew?

oh yea. Here's my pad.

no pics!! i want to see, i'm in the works of having one welded up would like to see your jb and how big and ect...

Anyone got any pics of your setup?

i ended up getting a few bikes that took priority over this project but im just finally getting back into this. i think im probably going to use a derbi kit, possibly pug. im waitin on a stock derbi top end so i can do some test fitting and make some decisions on which way i will go. id really like to use a lc pug kit but have a feeling the derbi cylinder will be easier to use. ill keep bump this thread as i make more progress.

did you just set the studs in the jb weld or did they go through the jb weld into the aluminum?

french bike kits are a bust. fins go the wrong way. look at stuff and think, yaaaaall

but srsly, there is no better moped kit than the alum derb metra 70 kit. and fuck a scooter kit. besides, how big reeds you planning on running? at least gila sized, right? otherwise, what's the point? just wondering.

I would say the 65cc pyramid reed kit.

Only problem being the obesity of the cylinder skirt.

^wouldnt that make unwanted air in the goop?

and derbi fo sho. or hobbit cylinder?

i think derbi, cause of the smaller third transfer

JB rebar! I had never heard of that!

Pic gonna work?

scooter kit is out for sure, i like the idea of sticking with ped parts but maybe a ktm clutch....

i thought about the fins and if i go french i would go LC so fin direction doesnt matter then.

i really like the looks of that derbi kit with the extra exhaust ports you motomatic dudes are running (ive been following your blog dean). is that what is going on all of your race bikes?

i got a dio reed cage pretty cheap and i think it might just be a little smaller than gila reeds but should be able to flow 24mm. no? maybe even 28mm? or am i just being crazy?
