NEXT Avalon... Jet "80"cc stealth.... will it fit?

noobtard · #1 06-03-2009, 09:37 PM

I'm thinking there's no way the motor's gonna fit in this thing... I was with my grandparents at wally-world today.. all of the bikes seemed like they would be a really tight fit... + the cruisers only had coaster brakes...

should have done my homework and had taken a tape measure along... my grandparents were pestering me with questions cause they couldn't figure out how everything would work... so then a hot chick wally-world worker decided to come help us out.... and my decision making process kinda blew up at that point. . .

ah well.. twas $118.. nice bike I guess.. v-brakes, dual suspension, only about 30 pounds, etc.. it's begging me to take it a ride around the block but, will be going back I spose(next indeed...)... daym hot chicks anyways!(lol)

I did find one post on here saying a guy got it to fit.. except for the carb.. any confirmations?

lol women tend to complicate things...

That Bike Is About The Only Dual Suspension You Can Use With The China Girl. It Should Be Worth The Trouble With The Carb. I Would Check Who Did The Build Before. Maybe Before You Return It. Or Do You Just Want To See The Girl Again? Lol. Ron ............

maybe Manic Mechanic straight intake manifold might help?

I think my dad could come up with a slanted(or whatever) intake easy.. just worried if the rest of it will fit... someone else that did a 48cc build.. said he had to "dent" the frame to get it to fit...

thats going to be a very tight fit,but it does have nice tires.
i went with a scwhinn delmar cruiser instead and the coaster brake works great.

I saw your bike at Wal-Mart last night. After seeing it, I don't think there is enough room for an engine within the frame. Sorry.

we shall see when It comes I guess... my hopes aren't up... ordered from canaduh, it when straight to Washington state.. now it only has to travel all the way across the county to get to me... whee... June 12th est. delivery... wah.

REALLY want to ride the bike even without the motar... but what can you do?(p.s. walmart f'ing sucks at putting bikes together..) I should have just bought the thing in a box... bleh.
what kinda of grease is recommended for bearings? I think they just used oil... or nothing at all.... the nuts were finger-loose on the front and back even... (what do these people get paid for again?)

Your bike looks alot like I-Paint's bike which I really really like. Check it out here: Aluminum bike, Dax engine, SBP Shifter, New Powder

Also check out his other threads because I believe he has a few about that bike or one very similar.

Please keep posting pictures! and good luck with your build!
