Hey everybody just thought I'd post a quick iphone pic of the Cranbrook I finished a few days ago. It's my first build and I am having a blast. The bike is a basic Walmart $89 Huffy Cranbrook and a BGF 80cc engine kit from ebay. I painted the bike with rattle cans. The frame is Krylon oil rubbed bronze and the wheels are Rust-oleum Cherry red. Was trying for a ratty vintage look. Reinforced the fenders with Stanley brackets from Lowes. I made the front engine mount myself from a piece of steel from an electrical box cover and a $1.50 car quest muffler clamp. Loc-Tite on everything. Thanks to everyone on this site for all the valuable information. I have a bullet light on the way for the front and I'm gonna try running a Baby Bee on the white wire. Also gonna pick up some DEI header wrap and wrap the muffler since I burned a hole in my pants on the pipe. hehehe... If anybody is interested in seeing more pics I'll try to shoot a few with a real camera.

Welcome to the forum. Gota say the cranny has been done to death ,but yours is one of the nicer ones I've seen. Really nice for a first build! The best part of the huffy davidson movement (snork) is that we all know whats there at the start and a guys skills really show in the final bike. kudos.
Now time for suspention ,drum brake and custom exhaust.:)
