this bike is badass i wish i had the tools to do something like this, i have one of these exact choppers in my shed. you have inspired me to have another look at putting a motor on it. im really keen to see the finished product and maybe even see a video of it in action

Keep the rust It does have the rat rod look i just can't do it.I will paint it all after I ride it for break in.
I just bought one of these with a motor from someone that couldn't figure out how to build it, he said it wouldn't fit in the frame,
If you could send me some diagrams on the build would be much appreciated, want to have a cool chopper like yours.

Thanks, Cabby.

http://motorbicycling.com/images/smilies/Trk.gifi'm trying to mount a 80cc motor on a chopper bicycle but the chain will not clear the 4 1/4" back tire. i think i may need a special motor mounting bracket to offset the motor for at leat 1- 1 1/2" to line up the chain from the motor sprocket to the rear wheel sprocket. Does anyone have any ideas. HELP
there is the shift kit set up so you can use your existing chain and gears. check this out. it going on my bike as soon as I can afford it......http://www.sickbikeparts.com/catalog/jackshaft.php
how did you make the adapter and the mounts. I know that the motor must be offset by 1-1 1/2" and that the bracked should be adjustable to fine tune lining up of the motor sprocket and the rear wheel sprocket. I'm having trouble finding the proper mounting bracket and i have limited tools. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

All the parts are one off parts . There where all designed and drawn and fabricated by me . I used cnc machine to make some of the parts some where hand made . I will have some of these parts for sale when have finished and tested this build parts like kick stand brkt,cdi mount brkt,hub adapter,and silencer brkt . I only have a few of these parts because i made extra .
I would like to buy the motor mount if you have made an extra if the price is right as i said i took on this project for a handicapp individual so i'm limited to the costs for this project but please let me know and i will try to make it work for all of us. Thanks. By the way where abouts do you live so i have some idea on the time factor.
Looking good,nice welding and fab work. Not an easy build by looking at it,but your doing a great job. What welder do you have and whats the settings? I cant seem to figure that crap out ,I just keep wire speed at 5 and change amp range for different jobs but i know thats not right. Some welds look good others kinda like bubble gum lol. Too much wire speed i guess when it looks like that?
