just for fun build

[kidricer]

along with the schwinnese build,i'm also building this bike for my friend, karl. he's going to use it in san francisco...no parking fees, no tickets, and traffic bull-fecal matter. the tank sucks, so it would be nice to make a tank for it or even just weld/ mold an aluminum panels to the frame... oh, mount a better seat and brakes too
the bike is low and comfortable even with the bars upside down...
currently in the breakin period. not done but fun!

Cool!!! Keep an eye on the front fenders on your motorized builds...Ive heard horror stories about hi-speed endos from them coming loose... :shock:

 

[kidricer]

Easy E, it's an Op cruiser.

thanks Markm for the heads-up on the fenders! they're flimsy, i'll make some better brackets for both of the fenders.

thanks again,

I like you build.
What kind a handle bar did you use?

That thing is Awesome!!!!

Did you have to modify the motor mount?

Heres a tank I found while nosing on another site. 25 bucks but not cap or shut off. Looks like it would go great with this build your doing plus its size would probably be about the right proportion to your frame.

if your really adventurous you can take two of those peanut tanks and build you a set of fatbob tanks if you can weld or know someone who can.
heres a pic of the ones I built

I like you build.

The bars came with the bike. It's slightly narrowed now, but I plan to make them into narrow drag bars. That's if my friend lets me...

Thanks!

Did you have to modify the motor mount?

No mods were made to the motor mounts, I just used the large "Sick Bike Parts" motor mount kit. Bolt and go. They work great!

Wowwww...very cool. The more I look at it, the more details I see!
Are those just StingRay fenders???

Thanks! More slight mods to come.
I'm not sure if they are stingray fenders... if they are are, probably re-pops.

made the bike a bit safer...mounted a headlight, front drum brakes, better coaster brake and 11g or 12g spokes (not sure of size but the spokes are a lot thicker than what came with the bike) and lowered the seat about 1/2" or less. A New carb will be installed tomorrow...and then it's out of my hands.

sorry for the bad night pictures...

 

[kidricer]

Ahh ..... It's good to go. My friend is pickin' it up today. Just fo' fun build! is be fun. And it's gone.

Very nice build! where did you get the pipe? I have been looking every where....can't find those fenders either, just found the black ones called shorty's for 26" on this site http://www.nirve.com/cruiser-bike-acces ... p?cid=3001

Thanks

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

Is there enough room to mount the tank under the top tube?

 

[srx]
