Yeah the guy that I got the motor from also had the wheels. They are much more stable at higher speeds. and the sprockets bolt right on as do he disk break.

I think stability is a lot more important than most people seem to think. The streets in my town are like washboards and I find more and more than I am less thrilled with my rides because I have to spend so much time looking for the next pot hole or manhole cover.

I like the wheels you have as well they might be my next purchase for the bike I am building next.

ps welcome to the forum

I am useing the small black lawn mower style muffler that it came with. I made a pipe to direct the exaust away from the frame. I welded some copper plumming parts together as the pipe. It's not that loud, but I am sure quieter with the other muffler that came with the kit. I will have to modify it to be out of the way of me pedling
