Hi, my name id Larry. I live in Ameliasburgh, On.Ca. Ameliasburgh is in Price Edward County.

I am building my first MB to tour around the back roads and trails in the area.

I am currently in the process of installing a Jet Silver 80 on an old Raleigh Mountain Bike. All I have left is to button up the wiring, and maybe try to mod the chain guard to fit... Then break in! Can't wait...

Here is a picture so far.

I purchased it off of ebay from gasbikeshop in British Columbia..

I should add that I will be stripping it donw and painting the frame next winter, as well as a few other mods...

Wish me luck!

Fired it up today.... Runs good. Exhaust needed to be tightened, then I broke a stud (oops!). So I went to TSC and got a M6 bolt and fixed that. Can't wait to burn a few tanks of fuel through it so I can then start tuning it...

GPS'd 43kph today.... Not quite 3/4 throttle... Flat road.... Wish I could take a picture of my GPS, but I can't. Crappy camera!

I should add that it's a 44t sprocket!

Welcome- did you check out a shift kit? That would help a lot on trails... Oh yeah- Wish you luck!

Looking at the shift kit, it's in the future. I still have a few other things to do first. Like suspension, better brakes and so on... Thanks for the luck!
