I finally got my f50 kit installed on my old bike.

I had a few problems getting it all to fit up, but with help from thatsdax and here, it's rolling.

Here's a pic.

You have to post like 10 messages to be able to post pic's and links it's an anti spamming thing

What kind of bike did it start out as?

I am kinda partial to the diamond frame bikes myself.

Very nice bike Pat!
I don't see a inline fuel filter may I suggest you install one it will save you headaches in the future.
I hope you enjoy your bike they are a lot of fun just to motor around on.

Thanks Norman,
OK I'll put it on "the list"
I've read so many tips in here that now I have 20 more things to do to my bike before it get 5 more miles on it! I think I have a VW filter laying around that should work. Very good idea too, Thanks.

Just another thing to add to your list but an important one: Secure that chain tensioner bracket to the chainstay. Use either a bolt and nut or a self tapping screw. The brackets are notorious for loosening and getting into the rear spokes. Good luck and enjoy that nice bike. You made a good choice by purchasing from thatsdax.

?Que

put a bolt into the chain tensioner into my bike frame? You have hit my my sore spot for sure, that chain tensioner gives me a LOT of grief already. Is there something better available, like a sprung tensioner or one with a better mount? But that doesn't cost more then the bike and the motor kit.

Thanks for the advise,
Pat Jr.

You can use spacers between the rear mount and engine so that the chain can have the proper tension without using the tensioner.
