I wouldn't ride that thing to a dog fight......
Only kiddin' Huff. I love it. Those saddle bags look like you could carry a couple of six packs. I remember my first Huffy. 1961-62. It was yellow with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed box. I was just talking to an old friend last night from that era. He remembered bike races we had as junior high students. Our coach set them up on our school grounds. 1 mile/ best time. I finished third and was tired. (hehehe)
Love your bike. Hey, wouldn't it be cool to get every member of this forum together for a cruise? D**n, that would be neat.

here are pics of the Brake setup yup you see three brakes on it.

I had to reverse the back brake and hang it from under the frame for the pads to reach the rim but it works without an issue.

and here is the speedometer setup nothing special just followed the directions

INSTALLATION TIP
Be patient while threading the cable the ends of the cable are "metal" but the threads on the other two parts are PLASTIC and will cross thread if your not careful.

Mount the wheel piece first.
remove the front wheel from the bicycle
take off the right side axle nut
slide the unit on
put the wheel back on the bike then spin the nut back on.
it will be a very tight fit but it will go.
then spin the outer nut back on it will not go on as far as it used to just make sure it is tight.

Next attach the Speedo Head Unit to the Handlebars Do not take the screws out of the head unit there are 2 little nubs that fit into the bracket.

Then attach the cable to the wheel unit look at the cable first it has an arrow showing up. Mind the plastic threads take your time

Finally attach the cable to the head unit again minding the plastic threads.

Last bit of advice on these is that the cable has a spinning inside so do not route the cable with sharp bends in it.

BTW make sure you get the right size unit they come in 20" and 26" if you get the smaller unit it will be about 7 mph slow.

the infamous CNS carb

It is an upgrade from stock with a knock off K&N style air cleaner

The kit comes with new upgraded throttle and integrated kill switch a remote choke that mounts to the handlebars and a matching left grip.

Mine came preassembled.

the carb would not fit into the frame so i had a custom 90* intake made for it works fine.

With that speedo, you have to modify the wheel piece if you have a quick release axle, or else you won't have enough axle to hook into the dropout on the fork. I just enlarged the hole with a dremel, then used a file to make the shape of the locknut on the axle. Just slid it right on and mounted the wheel up as usual.

So is that carb making any difference performance wise?

[MB-Monkey]

the carb does make a difference in performance more thru the middle rpm range getting it adjusted is still hit and miss here with the temp changing 20-30* each day

Ok. so is it worth the money?
