Mission accomplished!


Hello everyone! I finished my build today. I worked all day and the results were amazing. I custom fabbed an exhaust and got my bike running and took it for a spin. I'd like to thank everyone that has helped me from motorbicycling.com. Here's a picture of the finished exhaust.


I know i still need my crank arms and pedals but I'm tight on cash so pegs work just fine for now. I just roll down a slope and start right up. Bye for now!

Mounting the motor




Well today was kinda productive, in my 2 hours I had to work I installed my motor mount and dummied up me motor. Everything looks good so far, I will be taking my exhaust to my metals class in school to make it longer. Updates soon.

First build update.


Well I finally got the kit in the mail and started my build. I put on the gas tank, sprocket, CDI, and grips/throttle. It's all going well so far *knocks on wood*. I haven't received my motor mount yet, hopefully it will come on Tuesday. So I can't really do much until then. Oh yea, to get the sprocket on I had to file down where the bolts go so that it would all fit. And i put a custom airfilter on my carb.

Headlight and new seat!

Those you are looking at are the headlight I made and a new seat I bought today. The light runs off of 3 AA batteries. It's pretty bright. I built it from scratch using basic electrical knowledge. Hope you like!

Finally an update!

Hello again.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been busy and also ran into a funding problem so I had to wait that out. Well I finally ordered my motor from Gasbike.net and my motor mount from barry0070_70_0 on ebay. I ordered an 49cc engine painted black and a black gas tank. So hopefully they should be here by the end of the week. I also decided to go with the pedal/motor functionality. Primarily because I could find a good fix for the foot pegs and so I need to buy a new procket and crank set. But that wont hinder the building of the bike so you will see more updates soon! :)

Well That's all I have to share with you now. Hope to blog soon.

Monkeying Around!





Well I got my ape hangers today from www.choppersus.com. I really like them, they look kick @$$ on my bike. They didn't perfectly fit, but I got them on tight. I might mod the clamps so It's an exact fit. But for now it works. I should be getting my stickers next week and my signal lights soon too. Can't wait to get my motor at the end of the month. I decided on going with www.thatsdax.com. They have great motors with good quality parts on the cheap. Well that's my blurbs for now. Have a good weekend!
