with only a carb and jet change on the storm, 55 is about the best cruising speed i can get ... i suspect the header without the cat would help a bit

if that 6th gear trans had a smaller 1st gear, i bet 65 would be doable, letting you go smaller with the rear sprocket ... anyone have a link to that 6 speed trans?

Does anyone know about the 2 range bikes of the 70's . I saw something about that , wonder if something lile that could be fitted. don't know how they work
![]() Probably would still lead back to the same ol thing, lack of HP.

It would be very difficult to put a dual range sub-transmission on one of these engines. They work great on old Trail 90s but do rob some power from the 7 hp engine. The really old Trail 90s had a 78 tooth sprocket that would fit over the 40 tooth for trail riding. On my Lifan 200 I swap between the stock 17t countershaft sprocket and a 15t for trail riding. Only takes a few minutes.

Pretty sure the Honda Trail CT90 and CT110 used dual rear sprockets.

I had a 1971 Suzuki TC120 with a dual range 3 speed transmission. Had a kick lever for shifting ranges on the fly! Even with the street range it was pushin it at 55mph. I'm pretty happy with my Hawk cruising at 57mph. The Hawk is almost as fast off road as on.

No it was a kick over lever called Posi-Select.

My 229cc pushrod powered 200x would cruise at 60, top out at 70, and it only had 4 speeds. I spent roughly $600 building it. And yes, it was highway legal, I rode it 1300 miles in 5 days. |
