We Put a 6.5HP Lawn Mower Engine on a Sport Bike

A fan gave us a 2003 Honda 919 sport bike! We harvested the powerful 120 horsepower engine to install on an upcoming cross kart 2.0 project we're building, leaving us with a street bike motorcycle frame and no engine. We decided to install a Harbor Freight Predator 212cc engine on the Honda 919! This Harbor Freight motorcycle swap is a hoot!

Take out the 212 and throw a 420 big block or a tillotson 225 in that thing it’ll be a beast Edit: also dual sport tires on that thing and it will be complete

Hey, John and Ike, in the future, would you be able to do an occ Schwinn stingray build. or put a predator on a bicycle or something. I plan to ask Vasily about the project idea as well. Thanks.

Take the fuel tank off the predator and feed it directly from the stock tank lol

Imagine how much tighter it would look with curved tubing hugging the engine in the cradle, rather than the right-angle welding. It'd look almost factory. It'd still sound like a Home Depot on the road, but it'd look factory. Ish.

[@EmyrDerfel]

Alternatively, if there are enough hardpoints on the block, a subframe on the front and rear of the block bolted to the tabs they cut off the frame could turn the engine into a semi-stressed member.
