Puerto Rico La Jolla Build

[Wickedest1]

my very first build was a la jolla...love the bike but it was a pain to get the motor in, change your front mount to a muffler exhaust clamp...you will save yourself a lot of trouble...check your wheels often i found that the torque from the motor kept screwing with my rear hub and finally ingested its bearings...also since its aluminum you cant weld your tensioner in place...be sure to secure it as best as you can...my tensioner pulled into the wheel and sna[[ed off 6 spokes, ate the coaster break arm, and snapped the chainstay on the engine side...i still use the 5inch mini apes for handlebars that came stock...love the look and even went so far as to paint parts that same burnt orange...good luck and welcome to your new addiction

Boriqua, great build. Looks great, and I'm sure it rides as good as it looks!!!

Fitting the engine was a heavy task. Right now I'm running it without filter and with a shorty "oregon" spark plug. At the moment of the build I haven't access to a "slant head".

Is there any shorty spark plug that delivers the same performance as a NGK big plug?[/QUOTE]

Get a filter on in real quick you can score your piston too easily if dirt gets in there !
