Default I am new and need help

Does anyone know what bike I could get for my 2 stroke kit that would require no modifications to the frame like bending the brake arm and things of that nature. I want to just slap the motor on and go not welding bending or grinding.

Typically the easiest will be older style/larger mountain bike frame.

as far as I know most coaster brake bikes have some mods due to the brake arm and mounting the rear sprocket, unlike freestyle bikes.

Thanks. I am thinking about picking up a new bike from target and slapping it on that. Problally the schwinn point beach cruiser. I really dont want to spend over a 100$ for a bike for the motor but the current ones I have wouldn't work so well with it, I would have to drill holes to mount the engine since the frame tube is so big.

even my 5yr old roadmaster huffy mountian sport bike, fits good in it, just needed the large frame adaptor for the front tube.. not as good as the late 60's Grantsport it was in, which fit perfect, but it fits good..

Any V frame bike 24" or larger will be simple to install
