saw chopper bikes on youtube and had to get one :)

anyhow, was wondering what engine kit and mount are good for the price? I'm hoping on getting an exhaust that comes with the kit that doesn't point up or down but looks like your standard motorcycle exhaust that goes straight back. I saw some in pics but not sure if it came with a kit or bought separately. Also looking for something that will go around 35 mph to 40. Would be nice to have the option to go chrome tank too. Any advice much appreciated.

I guess I should mention it's a 20" occ chopper bike. I read in a thread I'll need the kit, am engine mount, a sprocket adapter

, and exhaust?

I'm thinking maybe the exhaust can work till I get the right one or is this dealing with clearance issues?

Any help appreciated.

btw, I'm a bodytech/painter and will probably do some wicked airbrushing on it after I learn how to dissassemble it.

Welcome!
Those OCC Choppers sure look nice but look like a bit of a challenge to build. Take your time and enjoy the build because when you are finished you will want to build another one. I do custom paint work too on the side. It is fun to make things look nice. If you have any questions just ask and someone will chime in.

I'm in the same boat. I saw the bikes on youtube aswell and had to have one. I'm taking a different approach though. I had an old Huffy frame in my shed and decided to build a trike. My motor is off an old weewacker, it's 31cc. Fitting it to the trike wont be a problem. I don't know if it's going to powerful enough. My son is only 100lbs so as long as it moves him around i'll be happy.

Here's one that was at the Lebanon, Pa. rally at my place in August. It's owned by OCCStingray on this forum. He has it licensed in Pa. as a moped.

that blue bike is amazing. That's probably the best looking one I've seen.
