I've never seen a machined Zuma hub, but then I've only seen one Zuma fatty and they cut up the stock rim to make it. I guess now I know why.

Wide offset wheels, offset engines. Entire drivetrain out the back. I bet that really loads the front tire a lot. Kills the tendency to wheelie.
1989 Elite E with 86cc Dio

I don't know how extreme I am going to go with it, I just like the long and low look. And please don't start a flame about lowered bikes (you know who you are), my last thread got locked because of it. Holla! After I get moved in I will be able to start working on it again. I got the AF18E in too! Sweetness!

I say all the way, put the af18 to work :wink: Not a fatty but here is another stretched low scooter with an engine swap for some inspiration.

I LOVE that bar setup. Anyone have the dimensions for that clamp, but for the Elite? I know an odyssey clamp from a mountain bike will work, but there are different sizes, and then there are different sizes for the bar, I don't want to spend crazy money on it as I'm in the Elite bout a grand as it is. Gotta spare the cash for the fatty!

These are also shim kits available that allow you to run a clamp aka stem that is bigger than the neck of the forks.

You could visit your local bicycle shop and find everything you need there.
