Predyno 99cc......the ultimate daily cruiser!
- Thread starter scotto-
- Start date
It's kinda funny how so many people want a bike like this, but don't want to pay a realistic price for one. Everyday people ask: " how much you want for that bike?" I'll say $1,200. They'll say something like "oh really", put their tail between their legs and walk off clueless. Would $500 be asking too much......of course it would, it's just a bicycle!
You got a great deal, that's a very nice schwinn with a super fine engine! Let's ride!I primarily ride the bike you had built for pat, I've had a few offers that were more than I bought it for. I think I got a good deal
We'll talk about a tank later, got too much on my plate atm.How much would you charge to fabricate one of those in-frame tanks?
Perhaps maybe it's time I learned to weld

Quite a few people mistake this as being a rag joint......
.......but as you can see, it clearly is not

diggin that setup !!!
adjustable too
good idea with the lock ring,,,I have loosened my front rotor by backing up with the trailer and hitting the brakes too hard

Yeah, it's a good setup on the rear, a bit heavy but steel strong with 4 bearings. I use the same hub on both my current rides, one with the flange and the other with a welded freewheel. No need for the freewheel on a 4-stroke!diggin that setup !!!

I rode the bike to work for the first time yesterday........man is this bike a blast to ride!
*News Flash* Predyno takes fourth place in the mid-class at Grange! The bike built as a commuter did well at the track today taking 3rd place against a larger briggs bike (Gbrebes), a Honda GX120 (Magrider) and some dood on a No or Moped?
The little stock 99cc Predator is not a bad competitor, just think if it was hopped up a bit

Cool, let me knowYou got a great deal, that's a very nice schwinn with a super fine engine! Let's ride!
We'll talk about a tank later, got too much on my plate atm.
Here are some pics of the nearly finished Predyno in it's present state of near completion.......been riding it to work everyday and even raced it at Grange recently!
I'm riding this bike everyday now, but still need to finish the guard for the clutch side as well as finish the jack shaft disc brake and give her the first oil change already...........stay tuned!

Changed the oil for the first time in this new engine after work this morning, then took another nice ride and wound her up to 6,750rpm.........this engine is running fine.
Don't blow it up!
how did the oil look? Any particles in there?
The 79 cc / 99 cc predator commuter / racing class is going to be big and Fun!
Haven't blown an engine yet.......the valves start floating at about 6,200rpm.
The oil looked better than I expected being fairly dark with some fine metallic, but still good transparency. I'm running Maxima 100% petroleum base for break-in. The next oil change will be the 50/50 pet/syn oil.
