How to shorten pit bike forks for a moped

Here's what I had to do to shorten a pair of KX80 forks for my moped. Most other hydro forks will be similar, but your mileage may vary.

Coming out of moped retirement

It's been a while but I figured I'd be coming back so I kept most of my moped stuff. I drove to Eau Claire over the weekend and picked up another Vespa Grande. I'm pretty excited to be wrenching again. My plan is to fix…

MopedGP North - Totfest Race Day

Here's a couple of videos I streamed during the races this year at Totfest. Stock Races - First Heat Stock Finals Variated Finals Variated & NonVariated combined finals

Mylo at the junkyard

I brought my son Mylo with me to Sport Wheels, he loves it there. I got lucky and scored some plastic the new vespa was missing

Grande Teardown

I started going through the Grande I acquired recently. Overall its in pretty good shape, but it sat for a while the crank bearings didn't sound the when i tried turning the engine over and the carb most certainly needed to be cleaned. Subframe off…

Got A Grande!

Local Vespa aficionado Tyler Augustine like to go on and on about how amazing and awesome Vespas are. He built a pretty fast Grande for our raffle bike this year. I took it for a spin and thought it was a blast. So it seems…

New Kicks for the Grumpy Dumpies

I recently acquired some puch snowflakes, I hate spokes so I decided to put them on the Grumpy Dumpies. The rear was no problemo, but I wanted to keep my disc brake up front and I was running a stock 17" kx80 front wheel prior…

Fume Free Moped Tuning

I was getting pretty sick literally of tuning my bike in my garage with all the fumes so I tossed some dryer hose I had lying around on my exhaust, worked like a charm.

Maxi For Sale

In my own going quest to thin down my moped herd I'm selling this Puch Maxi I picked up on a trade for my MGB parts. It's very clean, powder coated frame, rebuild bottom end, new crank, 50cc TCCD kit. It's a nice little bike.…

Puegeot 103 Progress

Getting closer to Totfest race day and I've almost got my bike race ready. Here's where I'm at now.

Oily Tomos Fix? Hopefully

It's basically the number one problem that most if not all Tomos mopeds succumb to. Oil begins to leak out of the crank case via the output shaft. The oil gradually sprays off your chain turning your rear wheel into something like a colorblind grateful…

High Five

One winter project down, two to go!

The Tomos is back together again after tearing the engine down and doing some porting. Cut a new gasket for the transmission cover When the piston is at BTDC the spot colored in with black sharpie was blocking the transfer path Cut the piston window…

Project Worst To First Underway

This year I 'won' the slowest moped award at the Totfest races this year with my Tomos A3. My goal for next year is to win the stock races with the same bike. The rules are pretty loose, basicly it amounts to you need to…

Cylinder Porting Bits

Cylinder porting is a great way to release the unseen potential of a stock moped(or kitted for that matter). I'm going to do a more in depth writeup on cylinder porting in the future once I finish building my port timing calculator tool, but in…

Winter Project 1 - Peugeot Race Bike

Well I sorta ran out of time getting my race bike ready for totfest this year. I had it running just prior to the race, still needed to be tuned, but complete for the most part. Then, it wouldn't start. I figured I'd bring it…

Dead Possum Racing

Tyler and Ed are some pretty rad dudes from Omaha, NE. They build fast racey mopads. They've raced with us at our last two Totfest rallies and they're about to head off and race at the Tomahawk Cup. Me and the rest of the Casserollers…

Use a Tomos A55 intake on an A3

The carburetor setup on Tomos A3's is pretty atrocious. It's a 12mm encarwi carb, it's tiny and literally has no adjustments whatsoever. No idle adjustment, idle is controlled by adjusting the tension on the throttle cable. The float bowl is closed by a fishing bobber…

TOTFEST 3: RACE WARS Video

Finally found the time to get my totfest footage together and make a video.

TOTFEST 3 Pictures

Peugeot 103 Rattle Can Paint Job

Peugeot 103 Swingarm Extension

I'm running some pretty wide tires on this project bike 17" x 2.75" and they fit, but barely and the chain tension adjusters are almost fully tightened down to get the wheel moved back far enough to accommodate the tire. So I'm just adding about…

The tail end of last year I traded my green Motobecane for a Peugeot project that fellow Casseroller Brian Rogers was working on. I've been stockpiling parts here and there to round it it until I got some my other projects taken care of before…

Bropeds

So in the back of my head I kept wanting to get my brothers into mopeds and have them experience the glory that is a 35 year old two stroke moped. I kept telling them "hey you should get a moped" "hey you should get a moped" "hey you should get a moped" "hey you should get a moped" "hey you should get a moped" "hey you should get a moped"!

Extend Your Pedals To Accommodate Exhaust Pipe

Runaway Exhausts and Gazelle Whiskers
