There has been a sudden lack of free time but I did get some engine parts in the mail, I need to order some bearings and top end stuff as well:

I just sold my 1991 Yamaha Moto4 100 because parts are just too hard to find. I appreciate you wanting to do this. However, if I was gonna spend that money I would buy one of these, They are made down the street from me and are some badass little trikes.

Yeah those are badass trikes but... they lack everything in one. The small ones do not have a clutch and a 100cc's of two-stroke power or a very functional rear swing arm. This will outperform anything in it's size hands down minus some front suspension but the front wheels will rarely be on the ground anyway if not barley any weight on them because of the launch torque!

They keep the front tire on the ground pretty well, My father in law was riding one a few weeks ago in Coos bay. However, should the front tire come up and send you off the back, your only 12 inches off the ground The ones they ride have heavily modded 125 motors in them and they fly up the hills. My father in law only weighs about a buck twenty though compared to my 240. I personally will stick to my all but stock LT250R. Anyhow, I don't wanna high jack this thread anymore.

Sounds sweet they look really clean, don't worry about hijacking. I have an LT250R as well I love it. With the long swing arm on this it should help keep the front wheels on the ground granted the suspension is soft.
