Modern Buddy

Finally got most of my parts in. Got the engine mounted to the frame today. Had to hack the MET frame.

New front end setup. I'll be using the rooter and caliper off the Buddy. Anyone looking to swap out there buddy front wheel, this is a Honda Dio front wheel that will work on your buddy.

Nice, lookin good so far. I've always been a fan of the GY6 Met swaps!

I'm using the Buddy rear rim, because you don't really have much of an option with the buddy engine, because it's a short case. You can't go too big with the tire either. Not sure the size that I ordered but you can't go any bigger. I'll check it out later and let you know.

i heard of someone using a 130/70/10 but i dont know if you can go any bigger
