I was following a great thread talking about converting the fake tanks on the Felt Cruiser bikes and lost it. Anyways, check out Ridley Vintage Motorbikes : Vintage Motorized Bicycle Kits. These guys motorizze the Felt cruisers and offer the MP model also.

Ridleys are nice and all, but your paying about a $2,000 mark up for nice looking engine mounts and chain tensioner. I'm working on a Felt Twin right now, and when its all said and done I don't think ill have 1/3 the price of a Ridley into it. That's including the price of the bike, engine, disks front and rear, suspension forks, parts from Manic Mechanic and Acme Labs. I think there is a thread about it some where.

I know but if you dig around you will find the link to their motorized Felt bikes, showing 5 models including the favored MP bike with 2 different size engines. Yes, they call them Ridley Vintege Motorbikes but they are Felt retro bikes motorized, check both sites.

The reason I sent the 1st msg was some folks were trying to find the PM model with a motor already added and thaat site does show one, don't need to buy the expencieve stuff, just like the Derringer bikes are very nice but not for $3200. I do understand and thanks

were not really a vendor yet, we have a clutch kit were making for people who PM us about it, doubles the holding power of the stock clutch, were working on a V twin motor and a bolt on gas tank. once were up and running with a full menu of products we'll set up a web site and become a sponsor on motorbicycling.
