Very nicely done. Let us know how that engine runs. I'm tempted to buy one.
Also just in case you were not aware of it Harley made a small two stoke bike in the 50s .
also looks pretty cool.

Man, I can't believe you got that at the Dixieland flea market. A guy I work with just went there about 3 weeks ago and he told me they had bikes their. I just keep putting off going there. I have seen the Harley hummers but never wanted to spend that much money. Cool bike though.
Are you running your throtle through a break lever :shock: ? That is an awsome idea for keeping a clean look. You did a great job on this bike, it is really beautiful. Will we get to see it in Ann Arbor at the end of April?...Kelly
I am toying around with the idea of getting a booth at Ann Arbor so maybe. The color is a rattle can flat rustoleum that I clear coated over. Your not supposed to be able to clear over this paint and it has proven to be tricky. The flat color was the closest thing to what I wanted. Lots of coats and lots of sanding!
Im interested in the motor you picked. Which one is it and would you have bought a different one if you could do it over? Have been looking at them for a while but have not decided on which one to order.
Sorry Carolina rat I guess I haven't checked this thread for awhile. I really don't have anything to compare this engine to so I'm not really sure I can answer your questions. I chose this engine because I like the way It mounts on the frame and a buy at work had one that seemed to be working quite well. The controls are kind cheap and worry me alittle but, I guess time will tell. If you want one you should hurry and get it because 2-strokes are now illegal to import. How an engine that gets 120 mpg is a worse polluter than one that gets 20 mpg is beyond me. I was talking to balloon man yesterday and I think he is right. In a nutshell there is no money to be made on developing 2-stroke motors so the government has decided that they should cease to exist. 
Very Nice Bike!!!! Excellent job 
.......Where did you get the Harley decals/stickers??
.......Where did you get the Harley decals/stickers??
A guy on E-bay sells them. He must have a bunch, because he useually has the listed. I'll see if I can find his info.
Oh no nobody can inport two cycle engines?

Welcome aboard Bolerg. Your bike looks like a great canidate for a motor. One thing you will want some stronger spokes than I am seeing there and re-inforce your fenders. there are several reputable dealers out there but I would be wary of some of the e-bay sellers. You may also want to check out this other forum http://motorbicycling.com/ . It is alot like this one with alot of knowlegable and helpfull guys there, they just like motors on their bikes :lol: Oh and the bikes arn't as pretty there...Kelly
Welcome Bolerg. I'm glad you like my creation. I bought the engine kit on E-bay and the guy took so long to ship it I thought I'd been scammed. I'm not sure where to buy these anymore. The government has made it illegal to import 2 stroke engines. You will have to hurry and buy one that is in stock. Chestnut hallow here in Mich. has a Evans frame that is very similar to the one I used for the Pea shooter. I think he wanted about $25.00 plus shipping. The frame is completely covered in surface rust but looked pretty straight.
I got my 80cc engine kit from kingsmotorbikes.com. This kit is awesome!!!! Never had any problems with the kit at all. I did buy a heavy duty rear rim for it from bikeworldusa & also welded the chain tensioner to the frame. Here's a pic of my motor bike & here's a pic of my schwinn that will hopefully be seeing a motor soon. I just found a tank for it.
