Lawn Mower Powered Street Bike Gets 3X Power | Getting Road Trip Ready!

this one was pretty much my pick but why we want to go fast that's why this whole thing is just like it's ridiculous so what i can mean [Music] we took 120 horsepower sport bike and swapped a six and a half horsepower lawnmower engine onto it and we intend on making it road legal and bringing it to a bike show but first this thing needs more power its top speed is about 28 miles an hour and that's just dangerous for public roads so behold still a lawn mower-based engine the tillotson 225 we are tripling the power output we're also doing some beautification and safety mods first off we're gonna start with this tire we got seat cover and dual exhaust that's gonna be awesome we're gonna send ike off with this camera right here and he's going to the store to surprise us with a seat cushion have fun the one armed man is going out and picking up materials for a seat on the bike that they're gonna ride all right we can do that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we got the engine removed about to start changing this rear tire there was not much left on this look at that gnarly and it was it was starting to cut cut into there just going around the track that's pretty good i absolutely love that but it's not it's not waterproof so let's say no to that there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of vinyl which is what i was looking for i was looking for some vinyl you know this is kind of cool it's kind of like a bandana here's the old power plant here is the new power plant they're the same physical size and everything they're uh both honda clones this is 212 cc's this one is 225 cc's it comes with about 18 horsepower right out of the box with the small carburetor option 22 millimeter micuni from gopowersports.com they are the sponsor of today's video if you want to check out these parts you can see them at links in the description of this video let's put it in there thank you new power plants going in we uh did replace those nuts with uh some proper spacers so we're good to go i think you can actually can't you get those spacers at go power sports yes you can i am back and uh i really hope they're gonna like the materials that i picked oh goodness i might need to pop that kill switch out which like we did on the other one that's okay [Applause] but other than that it's uh it's in there i'm gonna dump off these over here before getting to the shop but i don't want them to see i mean this one's probably going to be the sure deal right here okay drop off that one this thing's looking good man what do you say we check in on ike yeah that's why what's up all our engine bolts are tight and the engine is tensioned charles is working on getting the valve stem out so we can change this tire sounds like you got it it was the valve core valve core it wasn't the valve stem we still need that sorry oh yeah four yeah i got back yeah with the material so let's see it man sure sure it's uh it's uh not well oh i love it dude oh my goodness is it day of the dead yeah that is cool we're gonna have to put a plastic bag under because this is not really waterproof like i said they had a lousy selection but that's pretty cool but i did get two more things uh just in case y'all weren't happy with this but this one was pretty much my pick i love it so before a bit of normalcy oh got this but i know that this material like when it gets starts to get old it just flies to pieces oh the little squares come up oh is it is it faux alligator it's it's kind of vinyl-ish okay since i'm a big hanky fan there's like a handkerchief type material so the only one that's really waterproof is this one right here well what do we do all right so i've got the fuel system plumbed in got a fuel filter on there ike is working on a twist grip charles is working on the exhaust why but why we want to go fast that's why what do we got boys what's up well we are going to bend some tubes in some tubes [Music] all right so i'm going to show y'all how i have in the past broken beads on tires motorcycle tires and car tires doesn't necessarily work every time but we're going to try it on in this case because i mean we don't want to go to a tire shop do we so you got to get your dually put it in reverse with a board i'm guessing just back it up terry i'm hoping the board doesn't uh pop up i might have to put a smaller board there we'll give it a shot oh yeah oh it's on the rim oh look at that oh that's it i'm gonna pull forward and yeah you're gonna have to pull them pucks out uh let's take a picture of them because they're one-sided boom all right let's flip it over good job boys [Music] hey [Music] i got the new tire installed i took the old seat cover off of the rest of the seat and it's out in the sun drying off because it's kind of wet so i'm going to reinstall this rear wheel and we're going to check in on charles who's uh buttoning up the exhaust we're going to have dual exhaust on this thing boys it's going to be awesome absolutely so what we've got going on here is a basically we have capped off the original exhaust where it ran under the frame we cut it and capped it there so that way these two pipes are basically a sealed y i've done a plunge cut here to where we have a slip joint oh gosh i haven't tacked any of this so we'll raise it that way bam so as long as i can tack this little plug in here we'll have dual exhaust awesome all right cover yeah [Music] what's up buddy the seat is so good oh it's it's so so good you're doing a fine job on it buddy well i had some help can't say you had too much help day of the dead was the right call man is that what it is they are dead pretty darn sure pretty sure oh yeah that looks so awesome i cannot wait to see it on the on the bike right yeah the dual exhaust yeah uh anyone who uh wants our leftover day of the dead the order you place on our website carscammers.com we're going to throw these in wealth supplies last day of the day nice here's a quick reminder that our summer

what do you say i think it's a good idea do you need me to i got the kick stand out i'm just going to make sure yeah i hold it this way so you have the exhaust done absolutely yeah it's a little bit hard to get to on that side but it's plumbed in dual exhaust pipes are working you know what are they this needs to come up i think that's it fine adjustment tool all right so going on with the uh tail section what holds the front part of the uh oh there's some screws yeah i'm wondering if we're if we're missing a piece that connects to there to there but we probably have all we should have all the plastic for this we just have just haven't dug around we gotta find something else that gets attached to it either we'll make something john's over there working on that seat and i gotta say it is looking like fantastic oh my god can you do the upholstery in my square body uh not if you want it to look good oh oh that that looks fantastic i think that looks good just don't look under here but you know i think everybody's home seat job looks exactly the same the one i did looked a lot worse so all right so here in a few minutes we're going to have that seat on that bike and are we at the point where we can uh crank this thing up and listen to it run oh my goodness oh yeah it might be a little crooked but it's on there that looks great dude that oh just looking at the that proud dad moment right there look at that this whole thing is just like it's ridiculous so what i can mean it's awesome i love it and has got functioning dual exhaust well we don't know yet we didn't hear it we got to crank it up are we ready are we ready i i i'm putting on the flaming heat shield so got to do so right after the flaming heat shields we're going to crank it up shout out to our sponsor sunoco racing fuels we love optima oh we got some movement we have fuel in the line first start um that's why you have your stuff jacked up when you start it up for the first time uh yeah i remember how i was concerned about that throttle capable yeah i'm gonna say that so it's gotta be loosened up yep it ran i smelled burning rubber it already didn't burn out the filter loose yes oh wow yeah that's well how did that happen yeah i don't know maybe it's the way it's uh wound up yep probably the way it's wound all right ready oh it sounds good sounds so cool [Music] i [Music] [Music] [Music] why does it get so much quieter when you cover that other one well because that one's got to go around the corner but we wanted dual exhaust and we got it so it sounds good [Music] let's go have some lunch and we gotta fix the rear brake then it's time for test drive hey buddy are we ready oh i'm ready and the rear brakes work now oh yeah oh it looks so good that seat yeah something else dude it was popping inside but it's like it's not bad it's like wow out here hey batman dude [Music] [Music] yeah it's definitely pep here quite the improvement good we'll take it down the road man oh he's getting up on those rpms too why didn't we give him the phone that's a lot of rpms yeah we got to figure out this top speed quick all right let's see if i can turn it around up here without laying it down all right success success all right oh gosh oh how bad do you think it staying over is yeah okay it seems like we might need to tune the carburetor or go with the bigger one because did you hear it yeah it was yeah but it picks up after that like it clears up but it's what'd you say 38. you're dead on the money 38.2 all right no kidding so you're you're accurate off the bike look at that nice job man sorry i wasn't 38. that was a mean joke so uh and it stops exceptionally good even on this surface i mean you know it it'll lock the tire up but just just all right change gear yep i feel like we we can probably get like 42 without affecting too much of the bottom in we need more than 42 man we might lose a lot of the bottom end i mean we can try to get it but we want to road trip this thing i'm thinking due to this carburetor we have some rpm suffrage because it really feels like it's just not i mean it sounds like it's turning plenty okay we want it to achieve a good top speed of like 50 was ideal yeah that's what was 65. i was thinking it was 50. well we can't okay go ahead yeah i mean but 50 without it being at the top of the rpm oh we wanted to be able to cruise at 50. yeah exactly yeah yep yeah so we need to make a pretty drastic gearing change so it's screaming right now because i mean it sound it sounds good but with these mufflers it's not it doesn't actually sound like it i mean maybe you know sounds good uh so uh yeah gear change and give her a shot yeah i'm you know i'm worried about the hills and stuff but the road the road has hills too yeah yeah that's right especially this area all right so uh the next things got our work cut out for us man gear ratio it's a pretty drastic gearing change it really is so in today's episode of cars and cameras we tripled the horsepower output went from six and a half to about 18 horsepower with this tillerson 225 engine uh we have our work cut out for us because we're planning on road tripping this bike making it street legal again and taking it to a bike show 38 miles an hour isn't bad but we need a lot more so we need some grass drastic gearing changes we're about to go in the shop to see if we could even fit a second engine above our current one that would be awesome let us know in the comments what you want to see thanks for watching leave a thumbs up we'll catch you next this is a time instagram pic with the exhaust and it sounds like a bike and just kind of go around and then see the pressure or the tilt so i'm sorry
