Hello! This would have to be my first blog post on my Schwinn Stingray Chopper Build. What this blog will be about is the process of turning a regular old bicycle into a gas powered speed machine using a chinese 80cc (66cc) engine. I decided to create this blog for all those people who need help on building one of these. My chosen method of this build is motorized only, so I won't be able to pedal on this, I will use a pull start. But it is the same method as if you kept the chain on. Mind you I am only 16 so please excuse any ill terminology and vocabulary. :) I got my bike for this build off of craigslist, I suggest you do the same and save some cash. My bike had some rust on it and some scratches, but I am pretty sure I will be repainting this bike. So i guess for day one I took off the tires, broke the chain so I could take that off, took off the rust, fork, handlebars, brakes, seat,and some stickers. I am currently on a forum called
http://www.motorbicycling.com/ I love that place even though I am VERY new. I talked to a guy by the username of Retmachinist. He offered to help me with my seat upgrade. I have a limited budget so this blog will have a rough patch during the later month of july. I really am excited to show you all how it goes. Wish me luck!
