New Guy Here

Hello All!!! I've just been bitten by a building bug and decided to start a new project! Put an engine on a bike. Sooooooo here i go. this is not going to be a kit bike. Its going to be a one of a kind custom rat-rod style design. I hope!

Well i started on the bike and started to run into problems. so after looking around the web for a while I found this site. Excellent. Signed right up. Hopefully my idea can be worked out and built the way i want it. So off i go to scour the forums and probably start a post or two.

Thanks RC,

Well i believe the frame is a schwinn beach cruiser frame. but i dont want a beach cruiser i want something thats probably not to practical but something way different! i started mounting a x7 pocket bike engine but now that its mounted i want something bigger. it just doesnt look right to me. working on that now. heres where im at right now...

Thanks for the heads up Tom. Never really thought of that. But the real reason im building this bike is to go fishing in some areas around here where there are no paved roads and cars cant get to those areas. so this is my fix... ill add a couple of rod holders and a tacklebox holder and im off fishing.

My neighbor just came by and saw the bike and i told him im looking for another engine and he said "i'll be right back" ...

He just gave me what i was looking for ... a 3.0hp tecumseh edger motor from his wrecked go-cart that fits just like i like it. now i have to figure out how to get the power to the wheels.

any idea where to look in the forums... i have no clue what i need.
