    You have literally just birthed a new career/hobby for me. I just bought a CT200U and a 212cc Predator “Racing Performance” Engine. And I’m hoping to learn on how to install it and upgrade it properly with you channel. So Keep up the awesome work brother💪🏾

    That thing is perfect for Lonnie. It really got up and went with him. If I had all the tools I would build myself one. You have created an awesome mini chopper.

    Y'all got the "sloppy seconds" from Hurricane Harvey. I had the Fresh-firsts and had to rebuild the house. But, God is good and blessed us constantly throughout the project.
    Love your channel!

    I just picked up the exact same bicycle as the one you used in this build (all those years ago). Mine is missing the front fender, but it's complete in every other way.. I want to build it with the Predator 212cc (just like you did). Temporarily I have installed a Chinese made 80cc which is probably a better motor when considering how thin the steel is holding this child's bike together. I mean, really, these bikes are made for 7 to 15 year old children. But once you add a motor, and drop the seat to the ground, it's an excellent alternative to a Harley-Davidson sporty. I used to ride street bikes all the time, but I'm 63 last month, so falling down at high speeds isn't something I want to even consider. Healing time takes too long these days. But the truth is, I still have to get my two wheeled kicks somehow. Your build has convinced me to carry on and do this thing!
    I'm gonna need a new welder....
    Thanks Red Beard. I subscribed.

    I chased "chain tensioners" forty years, then put up a tension spring from a mower deck belt tensioner, with about a six inch arm, with a sprocket on a a sealed ball bearing, from "surplus center", between my trans and the rear wheel. It's worked great for over a decade, no vibration from chain, about fifty thousand miles on it. I'm building a "wheel chair", for a friend, so he can get in the woods and move around freely, using one of those four stroke bicycle kits and extra parts. Thanks, your video's have been interesting and helpful.

    the float on the Makuni carb , could be how the cable is run.
    check for sharp pinch points. may have to zip tye cable to keep it from flailing to a pinch point.
    also , remove the bowl and check to see if the corner edges are smooth, if not a lil bit of smoothing is required.
    oh, p.s.
    i didnt see any signal lights. lol jus sayn.
