Oh yeah Ash the 124 would be a good option if you got the money to spend. Otherwise you'll end up like me building a high compression mixed beans motor that'll sound cranky but run hot and be a pig to ride around a parking lot lol. If you want a nice smooth with reliable power, then go a big cube crate motor from a respectable company like S&S

there's one 15x7 on ebay, for about as good a price as you're going to get. it doesn't come up when you put in search words you think would work. i think i originally found it because it came up at the bottom of another page i was searching under "similar items".

i got paranoid and got one sooner than i wanted because i was sure they'd be snapped up. that was months ago and the other is still there. i kinda wish someone would get it 'cause i keep checking on it and wondering if i should get it as a spare when i haven't even used the first one yet.

Oh Christ, man! ...I just spent the day reading this thread...I get to the last page and the bike aint done yet? Man, you're killing ALL of us with this, lmao!


The thing looks positively killer though, man. Really, really good. That rear fender looks like is was strrrrrr-e-e-e-etched over the tire and nailed in place - perfect!


You have done so many of the mods I want to try on my Breakout ... EXILE/PRIMO primary, Exile sprocket/rotor/chain final conversion, Invader front wheel...


Really looking forward to seeing it finished up so we can get some feedback on how all these pieces play together!

Yeah wow that's cheap. I wonder if they do a single mount side. Having the Dual flange for the rotor on the other side is no good to me. I'd like a spare too. I'm pretty sure mine was around $1000 for the dual flange in raw finish, to go to single flange and powder coated was a couple hundred more.

MSR haha man trust me there's no man or women that'd rather see this bike finished then I. Always a good feeling it's indpired others to do some rad stuff.

Finished making the brake lines today, just hooking them up now and I'll get a start into bleeding them. Going to pull the blocks out tomorrow and put it back on its on two feet for the first time in 10-11 months
