i wish i 400 for the spoiler but i dont. So i found a Normal chrome and red flamed stingray chopper.
is there anything special i need to know coming into this build.

Is the Stingray going to be your first build? The reason I ask is I have built several of them and you are going to run into several problems that you wouldn't have with an ordinary frame.
You will need a special offset motor mount, special chain tensioner, different exhaust. You will also have to try to work around the rear brake and add a front brake that the bike won't be set up for.
It is all possible, it's just a matter of how much shop equiptment you have access to.

You will just have to build your parts, 7/8" offset motor mount plate, exhaust, and chain tensioner or you can buy them on e-bay. It will be a bit pricey unless you build your own.

Jim he can order the mount and exhaust from Barry on ebay. Maybe ,you can build it for him.Dvbikes look in ebay under occ exhaust pipe and a guy named barry sales the mount and mufflers.

yeah, i was looking at his stuff thats for sure where im going for exaust. but do they work alright , by having different dimention length in pipe for back pressure. Andi got my bike to day ill post pics after i paint it straight for 40 dollars

Have A Few Occ Shoppers And 2 Jj Choppers. Plan On Cutting The Bottom Bracket (small Dia. 1 3/8" Threads) Out Of Some Parts Bikes. Get Threads Trimmed Out With A Lathe For The $3.95 5/8" X 1 3/8" Flanged Brgs. And The Staton 3 Prong Sprocket And 3 Groove Adapter For The Free Wheel Sprocket. Take The Free Wheel Sprocket Off The Rear Wheel And Screw On A Common Cassete 5 Or 7 Speed. Bolt Of A Rear Derailleur Off Parts Bike. Weld The Bottom Bracket Behind Seat Post. For The Jackshaft Mount. Now You Should Not Need Offset Motor Mount And You Will Have A Shifter Bike. A Shifter Cures A Lot Of Problems. Am Riding My Dual Suspension Titan Shifter Bike Daily, The Gears Are So Nice. With The Staton Jackshaft Set Up, You Do Not Change Your Front Cranks/pedals, The Free Wheel Is In The Jack Shaft. You Would Run Around A 48 Tooth Sprocket On The Left Side Of The Jackshaft To The Motor. You Need A Solid Sprocket Mount On The Left To Start The Motor. You Can Start The Motor On The Stand With The Back Wheel Off The Ground. Be Nice For Tuning And Adjusting The Shifter. Do Any Of You Builders Out There Know If This Has Problems. The Jackshaft Should Be At The Proper Height. This May Seem Like More Effort, I Think It Would Be Easier. Just My 2 Cents!! Ron .

Well i just spent 2 hours with motor oil to clean up all the fine remnince of rust at it shines now.

Neat times: Currently im jobless and really dont have the funds to pay for a jack shaft kit. I know its a great deal but this bikes total cash is already starting to hit 300$. But if i could i would and might later when i get some cash.
