Got it going after about a 20 hr build ,2 days. Instructions in kit were wrong & I found the answers in this forum. Bike is a Huffy Karoki with a 66/88 flying horse engine kit. This bike assembled is white frame black fenders & get this orange rims. Being a Harley rider, it was a must have. Riding around the n'hood everyone thinks it's so COOL. A few say it's a Home Depot bike. Why cannot suppliers furnish better installation instruction ???? Kinda simple to state that both rubber backers go inside spokes & dust cap need mods on a coaster brake. The MAIN problem is sprocket installition---why not give a few options. Kit says A couple hours if you are mechanically inclined--- BS =--- if they start you out wrong. I assure you that I own 6 old collector autos & feel my ability is way above average. Anyway 50 miles & a lot of fun late Gotta confess it is hard to get this much fun for less than 275. Enjoy the Ride

Maybe I can post a pix ? I ckd preview & think it is there. Guys, Gals ? , got some questions. The problem is bike is fine for street , but to ride on the hard packed beach in St. Augustine, I got to go slower. Bike lugs bad & I have to slip the clutch too much or go too fast & coast. Really need 10 to 12 mph with enough engine rpm that bike isn't jumpy or lugging. Posted speed limit is 10, plus I just cannot wizz by all the girls. I now have a 26" wheel & 44 sprocket. I don't think a 50 tooth will do the trick. 15 to 18 top speed is fine by me, I'm currently topping out @ 25 mph
