Discussion at Motorized Bicycle Engine Kit Forum in the DIY Home Built Motorized Bicycle (non kit) forum. Looks like it might work.

| | Re: Morini Time! Full sus project! I find it helpful to make a mock up of my ideas and to be able to walk around and look at it. I like to get thin walled EMT conduit like 1/2" or 3/4" cut it up and tack it together. I try and find it dumpster diving but have also bought 10' sticks from Lowe's for about $5.00. It helps me move along and work out some kinks without fudging up the important part. I know the feeling, you wanted to be riding that thing yesterday! |

| | Re: Morini Time! Full sus project! Its coming slowly! I got my 49 tooth sprocket from Kings Sales and Service today. I had a epiphany about the pivot point today over materials! It will be a way where I got lucky. I will have to take more picks tomorrow. It will be easier to describe. My exhaust should be here any day now as well as the rear wheel adapters. As you were saying sharkcruiser it helps when all the pieces are in front of you . As soon as the rest comes in I will geter dun.

I know you can geter done
Lack of imagination is your only limitation ! (and you can us that too if ya want..lol)
I'm doing the same , full susp. bike
Use an old rear derailer on your swing arm and it will take up the slack of the chain
as the swing arm flexes.......POPS |

Just so many civic duties ! | Hey GH, What kind of a price does Pipeline have on the Morini's. I have been looking around at different places at the 3 h.p. model. I suppose I could spring for the 5 h.p. if the price was right.
Thanks,
John |

Thanks,
John | From what I can tell the 5.8 is gonna be a lot power when geared right . Because of the 12000 RPMs one can do a lot with this motor! I will get to ride it before the end of this summer! I don't know much about the 3 HP one if its a Morini its got to be more reliable than a China. I am currently still on a China..I pmed you the price I paid. Just give Dean a call408 279 2307

| | Re: Morini Time! Full sus project! Wow thats a sweat looking ride! I am still waiting for my pipe and top at adapter. I guess any day now ! I do envy you on that bike. Looks very cool! When I can finally have all the pieces before me I will get busy. How much was just that frame and rear end no shock just the stripped down frame to maybe throw my parts on? Just wondering!
