I'd like to have it. I've got an 82 PE175 motor that would drop right in and be a cool little bike.
What if Webb punts Tomac?
I did all three of my kids with trailing wheels and a rope. Once they are good on a bicycle without trailing wheels they're go to on a PW with no training wheels. Don't go ropeless until you are sure they have throttle control and braking skills.
I'm 6'2" so with a tall seat theres good leg room.
Put a flywheel weight on the RM and tighten the power valve spring. I did mine and it became a strong KDX. Its perfect for the woods.
We put solid aluminum bar inside the tubes where the frame was cut. Just a short piece so its not just butt welded. The welder says he got penetration into those so it should be solid. Its held up for eight years so far.
