Heres some final pics (minus the exhaust wrap that just came in and got installed) and some vids of my son cruising on it, getting used to it. (Btw he races jr ametuer bmx:wink1:) https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ9GUkUg2Lj/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ9Ic-aAmmj/...

I ordered a real motorcycle shifter peg for the brake pedal, and a nice set of sport bike rear foot pegs for the pegs on this bike, here my son is, installing the new pegs. Also ordered a generic tire driven generator, head light and tail light. All strait wired and hard mounted, meaning...

Next, exhaust and making the brakes work. I made a brake pedal out of a piece of mountainbike suspension cantilever. It operates, like this: The exhaust, (please spare me about the expansion chamber. Yes i know this isnt best for "performance", but keep in mind this bike is being riden...

So, back on the bench, got the lower frame support for the foot pegs on, found my wheels, and also brainstormed on a springer seat, using 22r valve springs and heavy duty gate hinge. My son also decided that drag bars were more comfy than the apes, and i agreed as this was his first...

Well, i forget why now, but i tried and tried to get the sears 3 piece crank out, even drilled the pin out, heated cranks, nada. So, i cut em off. Oh well, who needs pedals. With a 44t procket on a 20" wheel, i should be fine without it. So i started bolting everyrhing together, got to the rear...

Screw it, im stretching the frame: I stretched the chainstay a total of 5", and rear forks 3", persay... when i stretched the rear forks, i decided to carry the tubes i slipped over them, on over the top tube to meet the bottom tube, like an old schwinn scrambler cantilever frame to held spread...

I posted the build of this bike in the builds section, not even knowing the motored section exhisted. Basically bike started as a 70's(?) Sears 20" girls bike i picked up at the local scrap yard for $6, (just for the 14" apes) about 3 years ago, with zero intentions of motoring it. At first, i...

Better pics for ya:

Some more footage of my boy getting some seat time in while my daughter was selling girl scout cookies. I like how hes not too throttle happy...... yet. https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ9GUkUg2Lj/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ9Ic-aAmmj/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ9hM9Sgdjo/

The rear brakes are your basic linear pull style brakes. The cable runs to a triangular arm i have mounted with a bearing on the right foot peg. It attaches to the cable end, like a regular handle bar lever would. When the brake "pedal" is pushed downward, the raised triangular part pulls on the...

Headlight, tail light, and generator came in, got it mounted. Got the brake pedal peg in, got it mounted. Still no foot pegs, so i made some temporary ones, out of 3-1/2" 5/16" bolts, full of nuts. As for the exhaust wrap, while itd look cool, it really dont need it. My son...

A better shot of the brace i added. The more im looking, the more im thinking of adding another from the top of the swing arm pivot, (green section) to the top of the seat post/top bar area (removing the seat post clamp), and eliminating the steel bolted on pieces... More on that tomorrow...

ITS ALIVE!!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BQy8QqIAbAK/ First off, the cheapass pull start arrived broken... ok. So then i stuck my 18v drill with a 14mm on the crank bolt, and started it that way, the the crank bolt stripped.... fack. So roll start it is. It pulls my 260lbs rear, with a...

I think its lazer welded... unless its pressed together. Because i dont see any traces of welding at all, anywhere. Pics coming. As i wait on parts for my sons 80cc, got this frame up on the bench, and started addressing a stress issue i found with the frame. Added in a lateral support from...

And now we wait for the mail.....

My son got a chance to test the posture/position of the bike, before i completely tear it down, again, to paint everything that ive welded up after the fact. I guess i need to find some mid rise apes. All i have is 14's and 12's. I can see he'd be able to ride with apes now, but he loves the...
