49 o 66cc or restore?

[roadrockett]

I traded a stand up scoot for this. it a 193? rollfest romer. I need help deciding what to do

Google it for info. I've been riding for over 40 years and I've never heard of that brand.

 

[roadrockett]

sorry not rollfest / rollfast

 

[roadrockett]

one on epay for $5700.00 restored to show room

 

[maniac57]

Well there you go.
*rolls eyes*

When in doubt add a 80cc motor kit

Barely Awake will probably chime in later. He rides a Roll-Fast and I think Bairdco knows a lot about them too. Good old bikes. You made a great deal. Hang onto that puppy. It's worth a couple of bucks, as is.

I an getting the chain guard but no finders or kickstand damn it
it rides so smooth

 

[Bobjr59]

It did look sweet just the way it was, but I don't think it would hurt it any to put a motor kit on the bike do you 2Door?

She's a Beauty alright how does she stop ?

 

[roadrockett]

[roadrockett]

cool but no one has a registry of serial numbers to verify age

 

[Bobjr59]

it'd just be the luck of the draw I guess then ?

I thought it looked familiar, I saw on local craigslist and thought about it for a second. But I already have to many projects lol

 

[roadrockett]

yeah not sure what I want to do with it . yes I have it on craigslist , too many low ballers

 

[ocho ninja]

A nice 2 stroke motor wouldn't look bad and you can always go back if you wanna restore it later on .

 

[roadrockett]

True but I really like the 4 stroke kit that I'm finishing up right now once I get the hub problem straightened out this things gonna rock

No sir. It shouldn't hurt anything. Try not to drill any holes in the frame so if you ever want to return the bike to original condition you won't have to weld them up.

The kits are designed to be bolted on. You might need a custom/aftermarket front engine mount but they are available and seem to work well.
Good luck and keep us informed on your build.
