Took about 45 minutes.
Still need to tack tensioner, install exhaust pipe and fuel tank, replace CDI primary wire and plug cap.



Sale bike for flipping to help finance The OCC jackshaft build.

WHERE, do you store all these bikes? Good grief, you must have a big garage or back yard.
My wife and I were leaving her mother's place last Sunday and there was a house with four bikes sitting out front with a sign that said, 'Free'. I slowed down to look and Char said, "don't even think about it". I drove on. :)

Maniac, it probably took me 30 minutes just to get the rear sprocket aligned!!

I'm down to about 15-20 minutes average for the chain and sprocket. Usually the bike re-grease takes longer than the kit install on these conventional frames.
Steel is real yo.

I built a shed roof. Outgrew it within minutes.
I don't ask before I drag junk home.

Plus more seem to appear when I'm not looking.

What is the prefect amount of bikes to own?
One less than the number of bikes that will compel the wife to throw you out.

Final rendition!
49cc fired right up and runs like a top! Simply pulls clean all the way up to scary territory!
Brakes are marginal with the rpm this thing will spin, but it's a great ride!
Took it to a man today who is offering me a running driving '73 Pace Arrow motorhome as a straight up trade. All I need is a set of trailer tires so he can move his boat around!

It sounded too good to be true to me, but I have spoken with the man and this is for real!
I expect to easily flip this cool looking small motorhome for substantially more than any motorized bike would bring!
Here's hoping he can find the title!

Went to pick up the RV today but the battery was too weak to get it started. I do have the signed title though, so this deal is actually done!
I'm going back tomorrow with a hot battery, a gas can, a 12v fuel pump and a plan!
I'll bypass the tank if it acts balky from sitting, and run off the electric fuel pump from the gas can for the three miles home.
I'm simply flabergasted by this deal. I never really thought he was serious until I =saw the title.
He is thrilled with the little 49cc btw...
I'm going to give his Huffy frame a set of Vbrakes and alloys as soon as I get another parts bike just in appreciation!

Sometimes you just happen to be standing on the correct number when the wheel of fortune stops.
