1st Build Owns

So I have Schwinn Southport 7-Speed 26" bike from meijer:


A DAX F80 2-cycle engine with dual brake lever bought from amazon:


and MB.com chat with zune music player in background:


Tinker time...

Now, it took me forever to get the sprocket on, but kermit05 gave me a tip and bam! 5min later:

Next day I did the motor with assistance from a friend who held it in place. dan and OzzyU812 tips on chat:


The next day....


I rode it about 1/2 mile down the street and everything was awesome....

Notice there isnt a muffler on it. it wont attach cuz the oversize tube mounts are in the way... gunna buy a poo poo exhaust later.

thanks to dan OzzyU812 kermit05 for all their help and every thread on this site

yea i know, thinking about the poo poo pipe from bicycle-engines.com

any ideas for a horn? needs to be heard from 200ft

I also need a light setup, headlight taillight brake light and turn signals. thinking about a separate circuit with a battery, any ideas?

[kermit05]

Good job cabbie! =)

Don't run it without the muffler! You'll toast the engine!

[cabbiex5]

muffler is on it, i had to heat and bend it so it would fit. gunna upgrade to another one soon

[NEAT TIMES]

Welcome. If It Runs As Good As It Looks You Are In Fine Shape. Congrats, Nice Build. Ron
