Hellcat dual sport
Hey kids, I just posted a video of my pretty much completed dual sport Hellcat project. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I realize it's not going to be a hard core off road machine but it should be fun to take out on dirt roads and maybe some light trail riding.

Man I wish sidewalks could be used as racetracks for these little bikes. Have fun!

I love what you did with the bike! It was a shame that American Lifan stopped importing their Pony 100--it starting selling very well, sold out, and never came back. That was about a year before American Lifan came back with a limited range of bikes they have currently.

no......didnt work with the Hellcat, went in the box with all the other parts that didn't fit. Lots of Grom parts fit, lots of them dont. The fork tubes on the Hellcat taper from smaller at the top to bigger toward the middle and back to smaller near the bottom. The fork brackets I bought for the front fender fit perfect on the bottom but I need to raise the fender so out comes the Dremel tomorrow. It shouldn't take much.Once that is done it should be good to go. I hope to take it up to the mountains Sunday.

Finally got a chance to go out and ride the Hellcat today. First time since I did all the mods. I have to admit, this thing is friggin awesome! With the fairings gone, I can move my legs around a lot more which makes it more comfortable to ride and it feels much lighter although its probably only really about 5 pounds lighter than it was. I also noticed that there is no more rattles. I adjusted the valves and checked all the bolts this morning. It runs absolutely perfect! The only thing that kinda bothers me is that since I replaced the gas tank and it doesnt have a fuel level float, the gauge reads empty and it flashes to worn of low fuel. I turned the old tank up side down to mimic a full tank and measured the resistance at the connector and it measures 5.4 ohms. Could I splice a resister in to the connector on the bike for that the gauge reads full, or at least full enough for that it doesn't flash, if so what type of resistor would I need?

Nice job on your bike, Hellkitty! Looks like a great alternative to the Honda Monkey.

They are asking $1800 plus $280 for shipping. I was hoping it could be picked up at their warehouse here in so calif to save on shipping but they dont say they offer it. https://www.powersportsmax.com/produ...ducts_id/21722 better yet...I see Venom is selling the KP Mini now for $1900 and free shipping. Just noticed Venom says that it can not be plated in Calif. Last edited by Hellkitty; 11-18-2018 at 11:12 PM. |
