is the front spring forks bent or straight?Did you run into any problems fitting them on?It looks sleek as ****.
Great build, but I just want to point out a thing or two.
First, Make sure the chain is tighter then that. That thing will give you a headache.
Try (if you gan) to tilt the engine back a little. Your exhaust port is facing down pretty decently, and eventually you may get a bunch of oil in the exahust can.
That rear sprocket is made for a bike with 26 inch wheels. Get a manic Mechanic sprocket adapter, and get a much bigger sprocket. That will help your engine not bog down as much. Meaning you don't have to pedal as much to help it from a stop. The Manic Mechanic sprocket adapter perfectly centers your sprocket, and allows you to change sizes with ease. Also, it helps with clearance issues that come when the chain rubs against the tire.
Personally, I think it's one of the nicest bikes I've seen. LOVE the ONYX and this one looks pretty bad A$$

that's the first one I've seen painted white. That frame must be pretty legit. I like mine, it's a cruiser though.
Kelvin, I don't mean to rain on your enthusiasm but you've got no trail whatsoever in your front end geometry. Please take it very easy till you get used to it.
A year late I know....... It is a 29", I just purchased this same bike to motorize.
It is most definitely 100% 29" wheels.
I know that I am super behind in this thread (a year), but I just bought this same 29" wheel beast, and am in the process of motorizing. I am in the hunt for a springer fork.
I am curious if you have a 26" fork with the beast wheel stuffed in there? I did notice that the head angle on this frame is already pretty steep, and I am uncertain if I would want to go with a 26" fork or not and be even steeper.
Let me know, thanks!
lay back seat post and some beach cruiser bars and you"ll really be filling up the living room in style
Anyone have any idea where that fork came from?
It has too much rake angle for me, but I just bought a 29" Cruiser and am looking for a springer fork everywhere to no avail?

It's a 26" springer fork. A 29" wheel will fit into them.
I do it all the time now. A bent springer will give you tons of clearance, but the handling sucks.
Here is a pic of my non motorized ride with a 26" rear, and 29" front. Standard 26" springer fork.
Because when you lower the head tube, you also steepen the head angle along with sweeping out the rake. This creates a "pendulum" effect in the steering.
It makes the bikes a lot tougher to ride at higher speeds.
