Putting a engine kit on a wcc bicycle

[kidgambit]

I want to put a stock engine kit of a wcc bicycle. And was wondering if it would work.

you would first have to check your measurements, then if that would work, then "shopbuilt" motormounts might be in order. I assume "wcc" stands for west coast choppers? I put an engine on an old coaster bike, and ended up modifying a motormount, the brake bar, beveling all nine sprocket bolt heads a bit, and dishing my back tire. Works fine so far.

I found a company who makes a oversized universal motor mount

FWIW, when I was in the motorcycle shop, 'universal' meant 'fits nothing' (modifications are required).

I did some research about it and the universal motor mount should work with a jesse james bicycle

From what little I know...

DONT buy a stock engine direct from china.

Get one thats been tweeked from a reputable dealer in the U.S.
