I really like the way you mounted your seat, I don't see how you did it but it looks great!

the seatpost angle worries me !!!
check your welds often dude
the 'boys' hitting a rotating tire would NOT be pleasant !

Thanks for the friendly comments.

The seat scares me too. The whole bike scares me. I had it welded by a friend I trust. There is a fender, but if it broke the fall would make me wish I was dead. It was a girls bike I found free at a yard sale. I went through it all and will most likely clean it all up next winter. I wanted to ride it for now. Here are the build pics.

LMAO......really nice bike though. Kinda makes my back hurt looking at it though. Is it comfortable?

Yes, right after the motor starts and and you can easily tuck into it. I rode it as just a bike for a week before the motor came in the mail. It wasn't too bad, but I missed my ten speeds and the bars are two inches lower than I wolud like. Once I get going 10mph or more it feels really good and being that low I can corner much faster. The seat had to be moved to acomidate my legs so I could pedal. In the pick you might notice the motor barley fit. The frame is very tiny but has 26"x1 3/8" wheels. The handelbars and pedals are very thin too. It's all very tight but I got it to work. More to come later.

P.S. I rode it to the local VFW for a riding club fundraiser. Lots of laughs, smiles, and whizzer stories.
