Bryman31,
I know you are new to this forum, but don't know if you are new to bikes, motors, wrenches or what. Some people come to this as "new" people, but who are auto mechanics, or raced motorcycles or like me knew very little besides how not to fall off a bicycle. So, putting a motor on a bike is a a different experience for different people depending on what they "bring to the table". Only you know what you are bringing to the table. The first order of business should be to get that bike together in good order, whatever you end up using. If it isn't safe to pedal it isn't going to improve with a motor. Focus on things like the engine mounts being solid, the drive chain being aligned with the rear sprocket. One of the best upgrades you can make (especially for a first time build) is the hub adapter and sprocket from Jim the Manic Mechanic at Creative Engineering. But even the kit rag joint drive sprocket can be made to work well enough. Get the bike running and get familiar with it. Ask questions and make the ride work as well as you can stock. Then start changing this and that as you go and can afford it. You'll know then when you change something if it is actually better or not. The kits work right out of the box. Go from there would be my advice. The next build you will know ahead of time what you want to change and why. Joe has built so many bikes he has probably lost count. He could probably do it with his eyes closed. I've done a half dozen or so and am still learning, but it was that first one which taught me the most...to get the basics in order. Have fun and stay safe.
