I recently bought a huffy cruiser with a 2-cycle engine kit. The bike needs a lot of work and I have a couple questions that maybe someone can help me with.
First off, the bike uses coaster brakes, which I don't like because the pedals will be spinning way to fast to put my feet on if I need to stop quickly. I would like to install hand brakes on the bike but I'm not familiar with cruisers and I don't see anywhere to mount the brakes such as on my mountain bikes. Any suggestions?
Also, the engine is a pedal start and I would like to convert it to a pull start. However, I've noticed that this would mean installing the pull cord where my clutch is. Right now the clutch is essential to stopping otherwise the bike keeps accelerating. How would I go about making this conversion?
Thanks!
