Re: Which 2 stoke kit and bike to buy?
Jared,
I have a Grubee Starfire engine kit on a Schwinn Del Mar. I purchased the engine from bikeberry.com (highly recommended!). I have had very good results with this setup. I changed the bolts and other fasteners on the engine to either stainless or whatever I could find at the local ACE store. Most of the fasteners I bought are allen head and improves the look of the engine. The standard muffler setup would not fit at all, so I went for a Poo Poo pipe setup from bikeengines.com. It required some modification to fit. Also, change the stock intake manifold to an aluminum one with a sealing washer in the carburetor.
Personally, I dont like the look of the 4 stroke, I think it's butt ugly for what I'm doing.
I have the bike mocked up until after break in, then I will dissasemble the whole thing and rebuild it from the frame up with improved parts.
The bike looks like an old Whizzer, which is the look I'm going for and for 1/8th of the price.
Good luck,
Mike
