The Yankee Peddler is almost whistling dixie.

Just thought I'd share my progress on my bike. I know most of my fellow Ponies feel as though I fell off the face of the earth...but I'm still here! Here's why I haven't been able to ride fellas, and I'll let the pictures do the talking:

- Nearly new V1 bottom end (~100 miles) with roller crank
- 75cc Polini (case matched, 19mm intake and 25mm exhaust match, drilled oil holes on the piston)
- High compression head w/custom longer engine studs
- Ramsey Simonini exhaust
- 19mm Race PHBG with all the fixings (incl. AU atomizer/bushing!) w/custom 19mm intake
- CEV CDI w/Tomos 12v lighting coil and Korado voltage regulator
- Rebuilt 17" Snowflakes w/ Sava MC11 tires (2.25")...no more 16s!
- 9x31 gearing (rear sprocket is a modified Tomos one)


:)...oh and don't mind the rear wheel over spray...powder coated in the winter!


Lost the kickstand but tonnnnns of pedal clearance.


Custom cylinder studs to get that head to fit.


Homebrewed 19mm intake.


Easy access.


Custom exhaust flange.




Can I get an amen?


CDI wires and such.

SO I still need to hook up the rear brake cable, cut and attach the chain, time the engine, put gas in it, register it, and put the front snowflake on. But ahh, so so close. I hope it flies!

  4. I'm running the almost exact setup, except 16s and 12x40 gearing. How does that pipe?

  5. The pipe is perfect. Way more low-end and earlier-hitting powerband than I expected...just keeps pulling to the moon haha. Definitely not as late of a powerband as a Puch setup with a Simo, but it's still a high RPM pipe. I think I finally found the best V1 pipe!
