43 Mph Huffy Cranbrook!

Hi Everyone!:D

I build a 66cc grubee motorized huffy and I did a couple of upgrades now I get 43 mph.

The handling is not bad but a those speed I would like to get more stability.:D
Any advices?

I did the folowing mods:
Head shaving
correcting the transfer ports
porting
port matching
jaguar torque pipe
homemade boost botle
32 tooth sprocket

So if I understood correctly, a fork that put the wheel father foward will make the handling smoother?

then why a motorcycle fork isn't curved foward like a bicycle one?

Thanks, I did spend a lot of time on it :)

Just for an example here are 2 Micargi Pantera's, one with the stock fork, one with a $85 suspension fork.

Note the distance from the front fender to the down tube...
The shock fork is longer and oriented forward on the mount.
It raises the overall profile and extends the wheelbase.

That was my 'personal ride' Big Red for a month or so and the difference in handling and ride was great.

That fork just has V-brake mounts but you can get forks with disc brake bosses and even both brake mounts and start with V-brakes, then upgrade to a disc setup when you have money for the rim with disc mount, caliper and rotor.

It's pretty cool way to give a simple beach cruiser a whole lot more comfort, stability, and braking power ;-}
