Depends on the area down there in the lower mainland. It is very different city to city. I won't comment on it much more because I don't want to offend anyone. Let's just say the smaller towns are great and the larger cities are nice too but the people just aren't the same
Sounds typical, works the same around here. I'll say this though, she's close to the city limits, close to a water source too. Plenty privacy and plenty critters, I can't wait to visit
I modded my muffler because it killed the power. The first glass pack mod was great but didn't last long until it was loud again. My last mod is working great. Just opened up the internals and added a larger secondary pipe, seems to have just the right amount of back pressure to really increase torque.
If you are in the lower mainland you may get in trouble with a gas bike. In the country don't worry too much.
YEP, They call them American tourists...lol...lol.
Fine, good point. f***, I might as well just get the most powerful engine then. Still, that presents a new problem, though it could be fun to solve from an engineers point of view. The new challenge would be to prevent the bike from rattling itself apart at high speeds lmao. For example, you know the bottom section of the two right angle brackets that hold that metal part over top of the front tire... Well, each of them have only a single screw on the bottom. Any chopper owner should AUTOMATICALLY understand the annoying implications of that, even without adding an engine. Hell, any engineer would, and so I say shame on the inventor who thought that was a good idea. I like to build things in my spare time, and I have little patience for bad programming and/or bad designs. There should be a minimum of 2 screws, top and bottom, and I would use Robinson screws, Phillips are useless. And construction grade too, zinc alloy, and galvanized. It's just common sense.
though tbh she already is. Rare is the bike that has built-in engine mounts, but this is also half the weight of a standard chopper! I wish I knew more about where it came from, I got it on Kijiji. Pics on page 1.Actually Yank tourists are pretty cool for the most part.
Until they get behind the wheel.
My best friend moved to Vancouver and he would never move back to the country. He loves it. Unfortunately for me the rude people and the ungodly cost to live there make it the last place in BC I would ever consider moving to
Us Canadians really understand the Robert's vs Phillip's debate. I still don't understand why anyone uses a Phillip's screw but half the screws I see at work are still Phillip's and pretty much everything from China is Phillip's. They just strip so easy and they also break drivers way easier tooFine, good point. f***, I might as well just get the most powerful engine then.

If I do go about it this way I would hardly need help, it already sounds like a fun project, and as a matter of fact, I have someone in mind who does custom smelting, just backyard smelting but he's damn good at it and I have a variety of tools for grinding and whatnot, the entire mastercraft kit, mini, fullsize and the expansion kit, so basically I have everything I need to shape most any material including steel. Whatever I do, I'll provide him the dimensions so he can build for me a container sized for my engine mounts, just under the top bar, She's gonna be a beauty
