Next day I did the motor with assistance from a friend who held it in place. dan and OzzyU812 tips on chat:


The next day....


I rode it about 1/2 mile down the street and everything was awesome....

Notice there isnt a muffler on it. it wont attach cuz the oversize tube mounts are in the way... gunna buy a poo poo exhaust later.

thanks to dan OzzyU812 kermit05 for all their help and every thread on this site

Don't run it without the muffler! You'll toast the engine!
