It looks like Stunner may soon be relegated to second place in my all time favorite motorized bike list....Well it is getting even sicker...
Yes that is a spring nanner seat...
You take these and create the frame...
Then you get to look like this on it...
Your springer banana seat is the kind of twisted, diabolical thinking that keeps me logging into this forum.
The springs are getting an upgrade because my seat bottoms out on the frame... It could be the weight but I think it is because I didn't give enough clearance to the frame and the bottom of the Nanner...
Theres a fat joke there somewhere....
but fortunately, I'm better than that.
(and I'm fat)
Hi All,
Looks like a fun build and bike!
Did anyone figure out a reasonably priced brake solution?
Thanks guys!

Manic, no one is fat until they are in front of a mirror or on cam. Then they are photoshopped. After that there is plausible deniability.
I regularly fictitiously run for president. (yes of the US!)
Your not fat! You are rotund and have an agenda! (all about the spin and I support you)
Took the cut off wheel to the frame...
Do you think Walmart would take it back now on a warranty claim... HAHAHA

The metal on this bike is at least 16 gauge or better in thickness so I don't think it is all that wimpy if you wanted to motorize it. What you will want to do is go through all the bearings and grease them up and adjust everything so it is right.
LOL, spit coffee.
Sorry Draco.
In my defence, threads I start almost always deteriorate to discussions about pets, cartoons and amazingly enough bat dung. (not kidding; http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=40014 )
I'll shut up and be over here. But man! looking great. Looking forward to seeing her when your done.
More done to the bike which I am renaming it to MegaPixieRay, because it is a cross between a Schwinn Pixie and a StingRay...
This is what a Pixie looks like so you can see what I am talking about.

Put back together to give it a test ride with the new top bars...
I still need to add some plates to cover up the unfinished looking areas plus much more.

AAW SOME!! Fantastic Draco! I SO wanna do something similar; but Im commited to other projects for now. Thing is gonna be so cool
Put some bigger seat springs on because the other ones just didn't support my backside that good.
This is the bike frame that inspired the changes to the Beast. It is a 70's era bike called the Pixie.
Before the owner striped it down and sold most of it.
He then sent me the frame and forks.
This is what I have done with it so far. It will get a different seat and a few other parts. As you can see I put 20" wheels on it instead of the 16" wheels.
