First Scoot build!

Post by mccanic-racing »

Heres my first build:
89 Honda Elite E frame with 03 Tank GY6 50cc motor and the front fork of the Tank scoot.
heres some pictures of what it looks like so far:

Where the belly pan went on that will be removed.

Shock tower

The motor is mounted with the Tank Mount welded on to where the Elite motor was mounted to

top of the mount
Image
under the mount

Bike pigs for foot rests

Much more pictures to come.
my plan is to make it look like this moped but a little different. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e214/ ... 1247184954
What do you guys think?

Looks like a good start :thumbwink:

I would re inforce the shock mount somehow

Spreetard has wanted to put a GY6 clone on a spree frame for a while now.

He will like your build a lot.

Very cool!

On a side note...do you have any of the plastics from the GY6 scoot? I'd be interested if you do! Just drop me a PM. Thanks.

theres gonna be a tub going from the back to the front that well hold it buy the fork.
the tube is also going to hold speedo and tack and the key, probably a push button start (:
i was thinking a rectangular tube.

the stem is the threaded rod thats connected to the triple clamp that holds the fork legs. that thing is long and high. why didn't you shorten it up a little? the stem usually is level with the seat height or are you making the bars like a extended chopper style where the bars are sky high?

well the fork would work then
lowering done on the frame would just make it higher off the ground.

I was thinking that too. But then I rememberd there is no seat or seat bucket on this bike yet.

If you try to imagine it with the bigg * elite e seat on it, the bars don't seem so high.
