"Bomber" Bike...

Venice Motor Bikes · #1 03-30-2008, 01:33 PM

Hey fellas... heres a pic of my personal bike that I call "The Bomber", because it's army green, rusty & real fast!
It's a 1970 Schwinn, it has a PK-80 engine, 36T sprocket, upgraded plug, wire & boot, I port matched the intake & exaust ports, I removed the exaust baffle (YES! it added a lot of power!) & I added a K&N style air filter.
My next mod will be to figure out how to beef up the ignition system!

So far, I've built seven bikes, & this one is the fastest!

very nice bike and that is a small small sprocket on the rear wheel.. I like it but I couldn't ride anything that fast. I'm just a slow kinda guy.

I was gonna guess - about a 1970 Schwinn! NICE BIKE. I'll be it rips!!

Q: Do you know the part # of the K&N style air filter?? I'm trying to make a match. Where did you get the filter?

I bought air the filter at kragen for $10.00.., it's a Chevy valve cover breather that I moded to fit...
The bars are super wide beach cruiser bars... I LOVE EM!!!
I love the stripped down look... No fenders, no bells & no whistles!
Actually, that's a lie... there IS a small brass bell hanging from the kickstand housing, (you can barely see it behind the main sprocket)... It's a old school biker superstition.
The bell keeps road gremlins off the bike!

I used a Dremmel tool to to make the air hole in the filter larger, then I carefully drilled two small holes on each side in between the filter pleats to mount it.
I used the old mounting screws and the old filter backer plate as a spacer.
Then I cut off the excess screw threads with a dremmel.
Here's some pics... I tried to show where the screws are.
