Warren99 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just recently picked up an old big wheel. Figured this would make a pretty nice pit bike, especially after a few basics mods like un-choking the motor, lifting the suspension and bars, and lowering the gearing. The last owners already deleted the oil reservoir that mixes the gas for you, so I don’t have to do that. It’s actually pretty neat to me since it’s practically just a PW80 with bigger tires, and I first started racing on a PW80 when I was about 6 or 7. Adding pictures soon if I can figure out how do to it from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren99 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Found a picture of the PW80, not much of the bike is in frame but you can still see the resemblance to the BW if you’ve never seen one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
