Hey Jacob, nice video, and nice upgrades, the bike is much improved from when you first put it together. I just want to offer some very constructive criticism. Building a bike starts with the frame, which is the foundation. Like a house you never build on a weak foundation. You really need to fabricate and address mounting your engine in a proper and mechanically sound way. Go ahead and mock up your mounts so you have alignment fit proper and engineer in the ability to move engine fore and aft to facillitate chain tension etc. I don't know if the frame is steel or aluminum, if alum. you'll need to take it to a welder who is highly profecient in Tig welding. If steel a competent welder will do. Really do yourself a favor and mount the engine the way it should be solid, with no weak points. Think about it. Keep up the good work and keep putting out videos. Thanks.
I like construction criticism and appreciate the input. As always, it gives me more eyes and thoughts on problems I need to address. Thanks for watching!
The key on the spline and inner pully, is it enough protruding after you put the sleeve to engage into the engine shaft? I just got my 30 series yesterday. Gonna put it on a honda gx100. Needs same shaft adapter or sleeve 5/8 to 3/4 and im worried the key will not seat very far into the grove on the shaft. Maybe i should run a pin through the sleeve and shaft? Idk. How is it working out for you?
I plan on going with a rebuilt centrifugal clutch and a 60 tooth sprocket because its a 20 inch tire You need the biggest sprocket you can get which 60 tooth go for about 30 dollars so not that bad Edit prepare to suffer getting the gas tank to stay on lol I have personal experience it took me forever to find a good way to keep it on
Kind of a trick motor to get on a bike I have the same motor almost done with it too just need a throttle cable but I made my own mounts and torque converter but yours looks good man
The slanted part of the belt faces away from the engine the driver pully plate with the keyway is flat so the flat end of the belt needs to face the engine
Hell yeah man, I never got a notification but I’m glad I got to see it before too long, glad to see it’s coming along good EDIT: you put the belt on backwards, the angled side of the belt needs to be against the angled side of the front pulley, NOT the flat side, other than that it was a great video
@@RidingWiithJacob I left a message on yer other video about how to mount your gas tank with the original mounting brackets flipped over on the top of your frame also. It looks much cleaner than the brackets going under the frame bar.
Amazon for the torque converter, bike berry for the sprocket just type schwinn occ chopper and it will put up different sprocket tooth selections for your application.
What chain are you running on this? On BikeBerry I can only find sprockets that are for a 415 Chain (regular bicycle chain) If that’s the case, what front sprocket are you using that fits the torque converter? It looks like the torque converter only has a sprocket for a 35 chain or 40 chain (typical mini bike and go cart chains) Any info in much appreciated. Love the videos!
You mentioned they do sell a torque converter for the 79cc, could you provide a link or the name? Nice bike you have there. Also does a 212 fit in that frame?
@@RidingWiithJacob i currently have a felt faker gas frame and i had thought about getting one like yours. I have no experience with 4 strokes on my bike, but i am looking at a few engines. Things that are of concern is clearances of coarse, but also how wide those engines are, and when outting on a torque converter makes it that much more. I definitely want a torque converter , but id want to be able to just put it on and not have to mess with it too much. Ive seen videos where ppl are messing with the weights and springs to get them to work right with the 79cc. Maybe ill get lucky with a 136cc engine?
@@ikev60 do you have the 79cc engine? The 79cc engine I have (predator has a 5/8 inch shaft) the adapter slipped right on for me making the shaft 3/8” no issues.
I have 4 and 1 Jesse James occ bicycle chopper. The one Schwinn is an all aluminium crusader.....just have to be vigilante on whatever 2nd hand sites are in your area
Will anyone be willing to help answer a couple of questions? 1. What do you do with the tube coming out of the OHV? 2. What is a good torgue converter that isn't the most expensive? Already have the adapter to goto 3/4
Skip to 7:13 for torque converter install! Thanks for watching👍🏼
Good vdo except lose the music, it deters from the content and distracting/annoying!
Flat side of the belt towards the engine, beveled side towards the Torque converter 👍🏼

Need this torque converter on my phatmoto. N then get a rear drive belt. No more chains or centrifuge clutch to mess with.
hey man i’m doing the same exact thing, i have a red stingray, you inspire me and i love the build
Thank you for watching! Means a lot, good luck on the build🤙🏼
Hey man can you please add a link to the new sprocket set up please...love your build
Amazon's got that sleeve for $7.99 and the torque converter set up for 53.00
I'm dropping a predator 79cc on a felt faker frame tomorrow, I was trying to get a 212 ghost to fit but I couldn't find a way to do it
Hey @riding with Jacob, I would like to contact you with questions. How may I do so?
Parts list please and where to buy..!! Thank you
Been wondering about putting that CVT on the 79cc..appreciated you sharing the build. Good luck.
Thanks hopefully next video we see how it works!
Whats the brand name of torque converter
212CC Torque Converter 6.5 HP 3/4" Go Kart Mini Bike Comet Clutch 10T 40/41 and 12T 35 Chain Predator Driver Pulley Replacement Set - 30 Series
To make it fit 79cc you will need shaft adapter 5/8-3/4” I believe if I remember correctly.
Build a supercharger for it
Where are you finding ⅝ driver torque converters? All I see is ¾ shafts
Amazon, you can also buy a 5/8 to 3/4shaft sleeve adapter
You definitely have to Red loctite those bolts on that adapter I put one on a fat tire bike those bolts came loose right away
I plan on going with a rebuilt centrifugal clutch and a 60 tooth sprocket because its a 20 inch tire
You need the biggest sprocket you can get which 60 tooth go for about 30 dollars so not that bad
Edit prepare to suffer getting the gas tank to stay on lol I have personal experience it took me forever to find a good way to keep it on
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for video tonight, going to be a GOOD one! Good luck with your build!
I used the same setup for my mini side by side it worked flawless
Great job!
Kind of a trick motor to get on a bike I have the same motor almost done with it too just need a throttle cable but I made my own mounts and torque converter but yours looks good man
Can you give me a list of parts price and where to get everything I got my 212 predator motor and chopper bicycle
Here's a video of my latest build that may show how I mounted the tanks on the top of frame bar.
ua-cam.com/video/8fsKwvcTsE4/v-deo.html
I just wonder if that key sticks out far enough after you put that adapter on
Where i can buy this gear??
Amazon for torque converter. bike berry.com for sprocket
The slanted part of the belt faces away from the engine the driver pully plate with the keyway is flat so the flat end of the belt needs to face the engine
Yeah I switched it right after. 👍🏼
@@RidingWiithJacob in case you wanted to know omb warehouse BMI kart and gopowersports are great places to get a lot of parts
I'm loving the vids. Great job
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Install performance parts build a header it helps it nd
Where did you get the space please I would love a link
nice
what is the torgue converter name?
And what do you do with the tube coming out of the OHV?
Already have the adapter also
This is most likely a 30 series comet clone CVT. Can be purchased on many platforms. Idk about the tube
Great video thanks for the explanation 👍
Hell yeah man, I never got a notification but I’m glad I got to see it before too long, glad to see it’s coming along good
EDIT: you put the belt on backwards, the angled side of the belt needs to be against the angled side of the front pulley, NOT the flat side, other than that it was a great video
You are correct when watching install videos I could’ve sworn it was the opposite. I’ll be sure to swap it! Thanks for watching!
those cnc mounts are ass i dont recomened to use them they screw up rims and spokes especially if your chain might happen to pop
If u get the right size there the best wont slip uses the hub in stead of putting the torque on spokes
what size chain did u use
Did the keys in the driver pulley reach through the adapter bushing into the keyway of the drive shaft?
Yes it worked perfectly. The 212cc torque converter parts were keyed and they all fit onto the adapter.

A 212cc will fit if you chop the bottom frame then weld a steel sheet 2-3 inches lower.

Yeah I mean I just did it for a fun little challenge rather than practicality, I enjoy pulling it out here and there riding down the street and back.
Where did you get that sleeve
Amazon 5/8 to 3/4 adapter
Hey I love this build but did u end up having to cut the 5/8 “ to 3/4” spacer down.
Nope
@@RidingWiithJacob thanks
@@tokedasfuck8937 if you do have too a cut off wheel would work good 👍🏼
I bought that adapter but unfortunately it didnt work for me. Nothing would slip over it cause its to tight

Mans said slanted side of the belt towards the engine. Hope he figured that mistake out quickly...
Yep switched around👍🏼
Any tips on finding the stingrays?
They are all over Facebook marketplace where I live, I happened to get this one from my friend.
@@RidingWiithJacob I found a couple for like 160
