Default Redb66's attempt at a Motorized "Rat Rod"

This is my latest project. Their getting easier...lol. Tried to go for the Rat Rod look. The bike rides really well. I'm sold on the Springer forks and double springer seats. The third photo is of a standard 36T sprocket that I drilled myself. I have used three of these so far without any problems, and at $8.99 I think I'll continue.
