just wondering if ill have to do any major adjustments if i was to attach a bike motor kit to an older green huffy superia. (V frame), Thanks
Is an huffy superia a good bike first build?

yes that's exactly what it looks like. (handlebars are just a bit different). So i wouldnt need some high end industrial use tools to put the motor on the bike? also is a fuel line standard in a bike motor kit? Thanks again!
all the ones that i have built come with fuel,although i have read about people not getting fuel line. you wont need any special tools. just basic stuff.
you might need a chain pin extractor,if you need to shorten the chain,but it can be done with a hammer and punch. good luck with your build and have fun.

i would spend the few bucks and get some better fuel lines and a fuel filter, the stock lines if you get them harden and start cracking in a short time, and a fuel filter is just good insurance
Ok I'll consider doing that. Thanks! Had my friend tell me my rear caliper brakes were way to weak so he plans on switiching them out with cantilever brakes from another bike. Suggestions?
Rear brakes aren't the important ones, it's the front brakes that need to be top notch. And about the fuel filter, don't consider it, do it. You will have issues if you don't put a fuel filter in-line. That screen in the petcock valve thing is not a filter. Otherwise I think you'll have a smooth install. So long as your rear wheel is a 36 spoke
Thank you both for the help! ill get the fuel filter for sure when i order my kit. i just ordered new front and rear brakes with levers and brake cables and housing so i should be good
is there a specific size id need for the fuel filter or are they usually one size fits all? thanks again
so this wouldn't be an option? http://www.ebay.com/itm/FUEL-FILTER...ries&hash=item2c6606f9cd&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_950
these would be the size you need.

So far so good. i bought a 50cc kit . so far we have put the motor on but we had to weld part of the mounting equipment because the bolts werent enough. we have also had to grind down the pedal and bend the muffler as the pedal was hitting.
Ok so the bike is nearly finished. the problem is that we can get the bike moving with the clutch but not the throttle. The throttle cable moves but the bike just doesn't go? any ideas on whats wrong?
