Look Ma another addiction I meant Hobby

Hello to all,
I'm located over here in Arvada, Colorado. I have had many of hobbies, RC planes, cars, Helli's, and boats, Fish tanks, Hot Rod fab, Scuba Diving, these are just a few. I go to the extreme on my hobbies, ya know whats the next thing I can do to it. I saw a bike on craigslist "set the hook" which got me to do some research. I purchased a engine from bikeberry "reel him in" the neighbors kids had 2 OCC choppers "key word had" $50 for both not a bad deal I thought. So here I am reading all the post I can to get info before I start building. There is whole lot of knowledge here. After joining the group I find out that thatsdax is right down the street. I would have went to him for the engine.
If there is any locals on this group I would like to pick there brain and see how this stuff is done

Thanks George

Thanks John

Yes the OCC will be the fist build. I have seen the mount on ebay, I just dont like the thought of drilling holes that big in a stressed area. Mounting Ideas are still going through my head. I will post some pics when I get a proto built,and get some input. The one thing that was bothering me was the attachment of the rear sprocket until I looked at Manic Mechanic site and bingo!!! He has the good stuff " Sprocket adapter ". I read the motor mount is 7/8 offset for the size of the rear tire, but will wait for the engine to arrive before making the mount. just need to figure out the tooth count due to the smaller tire.

Sent you a PM. I would really like to see how to set one of these up right.
Getting someone to look the stuff over before I start building. " the engine kit "
From what I have read, these things come sometimes with out the best quality control.
Thanks George

Thanks Tom
To all the newbies if you have someone with knowable you can get with DO IT. Tom looked over the kit and found the clutch not disengaging correctly. Tom found this quickly and was able to tell me why and how to fix the problem (Which Tom ended up doing Thanks Tom) He also gave me alot of pointers to get me over the learning curve.
Did some searching about the chain. On piston bikes they list the chain as 410, bikeberry where I bought the engine from states it is a 415. After seeing what a 415 looks like I'm gonna say the new kits are coming with a 410 chain. Now to measure the bike and see how much chain I need and get some good stuff.
