Lets put this thing together and get it running!
EBR MAXI front forks.
These require you to take the bottom race off of the stock MKII forks in order to use them.
So with that done, It was time to repack/grease the bearings in the headset, and for that matter the wheels while I have the grease out !
Also note that I changed the tires and tubes to kenda tubes and Hutchison GP1 tires.
Now attention to the rear end of this thing..
Re-pack/grease the bearings, Changeover the shocks to MAXI 300mm shocks, New tube/Tire ( Same as the front )
Finally, MINI MAGNUM, minus engine of course :p
Yes, thats a MAXI in the back as reference to see how tiny this thing is…..
Up next…..
Changing that pesky 40T rear sprocket to a 45T
Chains, Polini E50, Cables, Controls, Grips, ETC…..
ALL DONE !!!!
Ridden to Mosquito Fleet’s monday meeting 4/20/09, One day turnaround

Looks ok, didnt it?
I didnt think so…..
Lets start tearing into it.
Goodbye :
* Luggage chrome
* Fenders
* Stock controls/bars/turn signals
* Shocks
* Forks
* ZA50
* Wiring
* Oil injection
Now there is a nice comparison shot of the MAXI EBR’s vs STOCK MKII Hydrolic forks.
Now the Hydrolic STOCK forks are the shit!!!! I just need to cut them down and didnt have the time or patience to do it today.
But as you can see, there is a good 3 inch difference in the MAXI front forks VS MKII Stock.
This is one point to the MINI MAGNUM

Being sick and locked in your house makes you crazy.
I decided to put random parts on the freespirit to make it ride-able.
This is of course after the wonderful Mr Snordley brazed some pin sized holes that were in my tank for me. No more Leaky!
One I got off of ebay is not useable and the other I got the frame along with it and well will just put that whole bike together. ( its a 81 Murray and I kinda like those too )
Its tiny with its maxi front ebr’s and short rears…..
Its as small as deans ciao, but longer
And OMG there is a secret picture of one half of west seattle OH NO!

Carb tuning issues !!!!! ARRRRRGH
15mm PHBG Does not want to Idle on its own
