really good project that mate, can definitely say thats the first zip 200 ive seen, bet it lifts off the torque! get some videos up when its running
Thanks! ive only had it out once for a quick go and its very fast! and the carb wasnt even set up properly (slightly boggy on top end) but even with 2 man up u dont feel any power diffrence in take off as for the rumor about big wheels ruining handling i didnt notice, i thought it handled a bit better coz of the ground clearence (ive came off a few times on peds thinking im on my old dt125 trying to go knee down round corners and grounding it lool) when its all running properly ill get up some vids! BTW does anyone know or have a picture of the cooling system layout for a runner vxr? also im looking for a headlight relay cant find one anywere and paying over the odds from a dealer is my last option, so would be appreciated vx or vxr should be the same. oh yh and i have a 210cc kit laying about
