Thought I'd share a some beginning photo's of this new OCC-Stingray Chopper 110cc Lifan build, with everyone, I have taken 32 photo's since starting this build today.
One reason for taking so many photo's is to show newby's & veteran builders that these 50cc / 110cc horizontal 4-stroke Honda clone motors will fit most Stretch Cruiser's & choppers with a few modifications.
One of the first modifications that I had to make is removing the seat down tube, removed it with a 4-1/2" grinder using a cut wheel, if you don't have one you can pick one up at your local harbor freight tool stores for around $18.00 USD make sure you have 20% off coupon get the extra savings, just have cashier ring all your item's separately.
Here is the Link for the harbor freight 4-1/2" Grinder:- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
I save the seat down tube just in case it's needed later! I made the mistake of throwing away parts before only to have it haunt me.
Next step is to weld in a skid plate for motor to sit on, for welding this skid plate I'm using a throw away welder from harbor freight it will cost you about $80.00 on sale and with a 20% off coupon.
Are you scratching your head did Crazy Horse just say a throw away welder, yes I did. I call it a throw away because it's very inexpensive and can handle welding on bicycles. This welder by harbor freight is the 90-Amp Flux Cored Welder: Here's the Link: - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
So I placed the motor inside the OCC-Stingray Frame after removing the seat down tube, and what do you know the drive sprocket and the rear free-wheel line up perfectly, I'm loving this build more and more, the motor sit's perfectly centered in the bike frame.
Next modification will be the pedal crank arms, the crank is wide enough to clear the jug / head on the motor, but the crank arm's need to be shortened.
Next modification is the chain ring on the pedal crank, will try a few different chain rings to achieve a balanced look.
Very important modification if you choose to modify an OCC-Stingray for a Horizontal Lifan 50cc 4-stroke, it is imperative to reinforce your frame weld in a brace on both side's of the frame from your chain stay to your seat stay, or you can take a chance and ride at your own peril. Just a suggestion!
I'll be adding disc brakes as this build progress's, and I'll have both electric start & kick start, did I mention this motor powers your head lights, brake lights, turn signals, oh almost forgot a horn also!!!
So here are some of the photo's or go to my photobuket page to see everything here's the Link:Crazyhorse Occ Stingray Build pictures by ICrazyhorse - Photobucket
If anyone needs more info just ask and I'll do my best to assist you!
Oh yeah did I mention I picked this OCC-Stingray Chopper at a Goodwill thrift store very cheap price.
Peace Crazy Horse
