HUGE Thank you to all of you guys who helped me out in this thread and directed me in the right paths. I finally created a build thread for my bike. It's a long read, but sit back, read it (or look at all the pictures) and enjoy...

TL;DR? Just look at the pictures and enjoy. Don't understand what's going on? Read the text! Here are a few more shots of how it sits currently.

*** I'd first like to say that I originally wrote this build thread for a local car/motorcycle forum. Some of the jokes, pictures posted and things like that are directed towards that crowd and community. So I apologize if you don't understand some of the references, pictures or memes in this...

Ahh.. A plug chop wouldn't really work if I ran the car as if it were ran on a dyno? Big fan and banging through the gears in a stationary position? Was hoping that would work lol... Oh well, I might be able to sneak to a road nearby to do some test flies. Need to do the same thing on my...

You are right, I won't be riding it far at all. Because it's so light and small, I might just throw it in the back of my truck when I want to take it somewhere and use my truck as homebase. Fuel, plugs, tools, etc. I'll at least be doing that for first few journeys with it. Once my exhaust...

Got lucky. The K100 guru's said I'd be fine to run premix. I just need to block off any existing oil pump stuff... Though it would be neat to have some sort of creative can attached to the bike. Maybe the NEXT one I decide to build, I'll go that route :) Shane

I'll need to double check, but I'm pretty sure all that is missing is the reservoir. I'll take the cover off and check to see that the rest of it is there. Worst case, I can get a whole new pump and everything for under $30. I jumped on a KE100 forum and asked to see if it is okay to run...

Will do. The bike ran alright before, but I never rode it much at all before it got the tear down. Hasn't ran since, but I see no reason why it wouldn't. Wondering if I should just buy or make an oil reservoir for it..... Shane

You just brought up a great point.... If you notice, I don't have an oil reservoir. It never came with the bike when I got it in the first place. Going off of that, I didn't even know this bike had oil injection. Fancy stuff. Didn't even cross my mind! Question is.. If I don't have the tank...

The area I will be frequenting with the bike is very smooth. Still have all of my factory suspension though if I ever decide I want it! Shane

No shocks for me. I know it isn't traditional for a cafe bike, but I enjoy the stance it holds right now. The forks will be raised up ever so slightly though. I really like how low it is to the ground and as mentioned before, I won't be riding it far, so comfort was sacrificed a tad. The seat...

Well, you guys might kill me. Went to do some welding with a friend the other day and weigh some options on my exhaust. For fun, we threw up the old stock exhaust to see how it would look and I kind of fell in love with it. So I think I'll be going that route after all! I'll most likely put a...

Confused again. However, I am curious as to how they did it.. Especially coming out of a shop like his, it has to run properly.. Could it be possible that there is a cone hidden inside the pipe itself for the waves to bounce off of? And that the pipe is just all one diameter to give off the...

I thought about doing that as well. At least until I can pass inspection. Thanks for the oil tip.. Wasn't sure what I wanted to use. Riding season only JUST started here. I live in Northern Michigan. Few bikes are out and about so far. Still some time for me on this bike though. Should be...

I apologize. I had a guess it was sarcasm, but it's hard to tell on forums. I did want to be clear that I was passionate about this though... I really do enjoy it. I get that I'll need to do quite a bit as far as a custom pipe. Length is my only issue right now. Again, coming from the 4 stroke...

Ok... I just want to get something straight. I am very new to 2 strokes (obviously) and this is in fact my first all out build on a motorcycle. I've owned all 4 strokes before this.. Quads, crotch rockets, etc and have come to really love this style of bike. These question may be stupid to you...

It is some cool stuff and that handbook gave me a really good idea of how it works. It's complex to design one, but the process is cool. The measurements look to be the biggest pain.. Especially doing this on a bike that I'm guessing not many people have before. I haven't found anything in...

The stock exhaust is kind of funny for this bike. It doesn't really have much of an expansion chamber at all. I wish there was a way for me to shorten or have a shorter expansion chamber... The exhaust was built to ride high to the left, so if I cut and modified the exhaust to ride low down on...

Is there truth to this? My motor is in fact a rotary valve motor. Shane

By head pipe, I'm assuming you mean the pipe or piece of the pipe that comes off of the head and goes to the cyclinder. If that is the case, then I think I might be okay and I should be able to make it work with some creativity. Wasn't exactly ideal, but I'll make it work. What about the size...
