Thank you LA for the review! We understand this bike isn’t for everyone. The Stinger is something the chopper crowd has asked for a long time and we’re glad it’s finally here! We are taking all the feedback into consideration so that the necessary updates can be made. Thanks again!

Since the BT V2 has a G2 reed block integrated, you can just bolt on the 25mm adapter for bigger carbs and bolt a 21mm on. The exhaust is going to help a bunch aswell as porting. Keep us posted Hover. Thanks for the video

Pitbike 125cc exhaust header fits the bt series engines perfectly, still have to weld on an expansion chamber but easiest custom exhaust option for bt's!
@dmoore007910 ай бұрын
I did the same when fabricating a custom exhaust for my BT80. I think they're 28mm OD (roughly 1-1/8"), which was a little bigger than the stock pipe.

La hover, your videos are my favorite on KZfaq! They are high quality, enjoyable, honest and informative. I absolutely love what you do and really hope you keep doing it. Because of you I am investing in a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke build. You’re awesome, be safe.

Can’t wait to see what engine mods you come up with. I converted a V1 into a V2 and the same top speed as you. I put a window in the piston and today I’m going to shave the head down to get a good squish to see what happens. I got more top speed with v1 but I had OKO reed and 21 pwk carb on it.

The chopper bike, take the handle bars off and put them on backwards so your hands turn out when you push them so far forward.

Love it and will be getting this frame for myself one thing with these is you want the bars upright then you lean back like you are in a lowrider, for example bikeberry has a video on there youtube channel of them riding this and the rider was 5'9.

Thanks for the tests and reviews.The grip position on the chopper,no matter where the bars were,is a serious No from me.I have a 'cruiser and the wrist/hand position is uncomfortable just setting on the bike to check adjust.Looking at the mt.bike bars again,with riser arms so I'm Not leaning,but closer to the hand position when you extend your arms out.Looking forward to more BT tests.

I've built 11 choppers and don't let anybody tell you different it's up hill all the way with motori the older Orange County Choppers. Yea a motor mount is required in order to motorize the chopper. Because of build repetition on the choppers I've managed to do some homemade engineering to make it easier as I progressed from bike to bike. But at the end of the day a motorized chopper is the most beautiful breathtaking sight, but sucks royally.regarding comfort. I build my vintage bikes primarily for collection and display. I replace stock parts with after market parts that will last longer for example replace the stock chain with one from Tractor Supply etc. And I'm happy to say that a chopper can be built successfully, but beware you will find an obstacle only to be followed by another one. I've built and sold 38 bikes and 2 nearing completion for a total of 40. I don't sell to minors. Eleven choppers plus 39 1950's and 60's cruisers. HAPPY BUILDING!

Anybody wonder why the frame seems too small for an adult? Thats because it is just a popular chopper style bicycle from the time of the chopper stingray. This bike was called a big mo. This is still a children's frame that in fact wasn't originally designed for motors but bikeberry did some very minor modifications for this. The ergonomics are still for a child
@waynehamblin11285 ай бұрын
Dual pull levers are dangerous. Tuned on flat ground it will work for flat ground. If your going downhill the front won't have enough braking force and the rear will lock up long before the front brake actually does something to stop you.

Yeah, that stinks about the bike because I was really hopeful that it might be something I could look forward to getting in the future because I really want to build a chopper style bike because I just think it’s cool not for a daily but for a weekend warrior type of a thing, but I kind of assumed it would be really small or a bigger fella like you or I I wish they offered different size frames like small, medium and large or extra large and that would be really cool but maybe in the future thanks for the video
