Ice Bear Champion Raising the Front Fender for BIGGER Tires

[@kemoayers8272]

Great Job Bryce. Very informative. Think I got this after watching.

[@mrstangblb]

Great job on showing everything - I should be able to do this fairly quickly. The bolts and spacers sizes are now no longer a mystery to me and Home Depot should fix me up!

[@bbeicker2]

Glad I could help!

Joe here... I commented on your other Ice Bear videos. I'm the guy that has the Amigo Rocky 125 (4 speed manual clutch), and Have two Ice Bear Champions on the way. Just received a call about 2 hours ago from the shipping company. The Ice Bear's will be here Friday the 19th. Can't wait! That red looks awesome! Is it really shiny?The Amigo Rocky is a satin. its ok,... not terrible, but was expecting shiny.
As for the raising of the front fender, I cheated and copied a reproduction CT70 front fender, so I did mine differently. The back of the front fender (near the engine) was trimmed back after the plastic splash guard was removed. I removed about 3/4" of metal. I'll make a video showing how I did it, along with the measurements. I used 1/2" long x 1/2" diameter (O.D.) 1/4" I.D. aluminum (hilman brand) wire rope stops for the spacers. I don't run the cable guide at all, and works well without it. I was worried obout kinks.
I'm running the same Maxxis 120/90-10 tires and love them. These are great little bikes. I'll be doing some off road adventures soon on rough Nevada trails with the Go-Pro soon.
So far, after looking at photos and videos, the Ice Bear's look a little better/higher quality.
Some stuff right off the bat that I noticed...
(1)...The Amigo Rocky has a black painted rear brake pedal, rear rack, handle bar control assemblies.
(2)... No catalytic convertor, but a very stupid looking EGR/ reed valve assembly with a extra hole in the head to tap off the
exhaust gasses.
(3)... NO RESERVE. Just a on /off valve on the carb. (I'm changing that) The tall pickup tube in the tank is used as a breather tube
for the charcoal canister.
(4)... Rear of seat says 'Amigo', which came off with carb cleaner. :)
More up dates coming soon. I was also afraid to click on the comments below. They look like some bullshit link, or something.
Do you have any video of your updated fender from a distance?
Sorry for the long comment. Keep safe. I'll keep in touch.

I have a red one, too, and it's pretty shiny. I'm impressed with the whole bike for the money! If I didn't have a little mechanical experience and a few tools it would be tough. Hopefully my next one will have a clutch, too - the semi-auto is fine, but I like having a manual clutch.

[@bbeicker2]

The red is pretty shiny on this one! I plan on doing an overall video of the mods soon. Check back!

Just unscrew the cable on the speedometer and push it through their you're done

[@jellogod]

Just raised my front fender to accommodate my 12” rims and tires. I’m a little nervous to change the back one with the brake drums and such. Any suggestions ? Couldn’t have the front without you- the bolts and spacers were a perfect fit.

[@bbeicker2]

I'm glad I was able to help! Unfortunately, I have not changed the wheels on mine and don't have any advice on what you might run into. Make sure you put the valve stem back on the correct side, or it will rub. Take your time with it and I'm sure you'll be fine.

[@bbaaspencer1]

Where did you get the mini bike...I want one! I use to have a Honda CT70 when I was a kid!

[@bbeicker2]

Cajunmaddogs.com you'll have to pre-order, but worth it

[@bbeicker2]

Also, check out my other unboxing video so you know what ti expect when it arrives

[@P3FEOrion8251]

I got mine from Venom Motor sports out of Canada. Good thing about buying from them is there is no sales tax.
Had to pre-order like everyone else. Order it in June and delivered right to my front door.

[@mikeyspeeds1056]

Did you have to buy new inner tubes for the larger tires? If so, where did you get some?

[@bbeicker2]

I reused the stock tubes

[@mikeyspeeds1056]

@@bbeicker2 Thanks! One last question ( maybe lol ). Have any clearance issues with the larger tires? Did you have to remove the center kickstand? I just bought these tires.

[@bbeicker2]

@@mikeyspeeds1056 no clearance issues.

[@jellogod]

Do you have to raise the back fender any for the larger tires ? I just ordered some 12” rims and tires for my champion.

[@bbeicker2]

I did not raise the rear fender for these tires. No clearance issues

[@jellogod]

Thanks ! Great video !
