jb's EZMotorbike

I finally got it finished ( well almost). It took me long enough. I got my kit March 21st when my wife & were visiting Quenton & Donna. I built the bike from scratch. Got the frame & springer on Ebay & got most of the other parts from Memory Lane Classics. I laced the wheels & got it painted at a high school where I'm doing electrical work. I wok construction. They have a body shop class & it cost me $36. They even sanded & prepped it. Front & rear hubs I got on Ebay. Seat on Ebay.
I don't have the cranks on because the pedal hit on the right side. I'm going to take them to the school Monday & get the welding class to heat them & spread the one side about an inch out. Still need a headlight & battery.
Here are some pics. Check out how the frame & front end were wrapped when I got them from the person I bought them from on Ebay.

WOW, that bike turned out sweet. Love the color. Does that have a drum brake in front if so I need one myself. Where would you suggest a good place to get one is.

Here's a link to a nice drum brake on Ebay.

Really clean well executed build JB. You got that together in pretty short order actually for the amount of work that went in to it.

Awesome to hear JB. Farmers Almanac is calling for great weather, too.

Nope, no license plate or helmet needed. CT, under 30MPH and 50cc, is just a bike.

Had it on the road today. Runs great!! My driveway is uphill & pulled it easy coming home. Smooth bike & drive system. Taking it & my 99 to Connecticut For the Rally May 2nd. See you there.

I really like how your bike turned out. I have a Felt HT bike which is really fun to ride but I recently bought a EZ kit and will probably end up with a bike that is in a lot of respects, like yours. Thanks for leading the way, good job!
