I believe I have the Wallmart version .
Soon to have my Happytime engine in a custom welded cradle.
With some unusual extras.

Maybe a DIY springer.

I searched the forum and found wheel size issues.
Needs a 27 tooth rear sprocket, or equivalent.

Seat issues.
I found a solution.

Any other problems ???

You do know it takes a fabricated motor mount to set the motor about 3/4" off the centerline to clear the 4 1/4" back tire. You will also have to build a new exhaust. The kit exhaust will not clear the frame.

Pappy, I machined the mount. You can buy them off e-bay from a guy named Barry. He also sells the exhaust pipe. I think he gets about $50 for the mount and $70 for the pipe. That is why I built my own. I do have the advantage of having a small machine shop.
