Only thing I'd be concerned about is with the angle of the frame allowing the engine to pitch forward, you may have a lubrication problem.

I thought of that, but I like this look so much I may take it to a fabricator shop and have another axle custom built or maybe put smaller back tires on it.. just in stage 1 and I'm not a custom builder so doing my best. I will figure it out tho..

You might want to consider a custom engine mounting plate to level it up.

Could I have some custom engine mounts to level engine alil? And do they make a sweet street drag car tire in a 20-12-12?? Lol that would lower rear 2-3 inches

The Chinese knock off tires usually run shorter than designated size on sidewalls so there may be your answer...

They do make drag slicks for Mopeds, though I don't know why! Not as wide as you want.

You might check tire sites that carry golf cart tires.  They can be pretty low profile and I believe they come in 8, 10, and 12".

Something like this might work...but they are 21" tall so you would only gain about an inch of drop.  A little pricey too...

Do you know what size they are in American ? Something like 22-11-12 or 20-10-12 would be good or something in between

They come in right about 21 - 10 - 12.  I love that look on your daughter's C-81 BTW.

21 should drop rear 2 inches, maybe more being there flat shape. The tires on it are very bubbled up and 23 inches tall. And thanks! She just needs a hot rod/rat rod tractor too cruise around at home and at shows! Also she wants to show it off to her friends so that makes me happy!

The 2" smaller tire will only give 1" of actual drop because only half of that 2" will be from the axle centerline to the ground. I think you're right though. The flat surface of those performance/street tires might drop you another inch.   Either way it's a very cool look.

Looks Kool.   Do you have any detail pics of the spindle and tie rods?

I had to make some changes to get the low rider frame down where I wanted it.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking you did.   Do you think the spindle C clips will hold up OK  under the load?

Thought about that too! May look into thicker clips if I feel I'm gonna have a problem. Also starter needs replaced so it will be awhile before she actually get ran around so I have time to figure this out and modify it... 

Also being small engine plus not having pto pulley on engine it is kinda light in the front so that helps alil!
