Can we individually buy the mounting parts. For example, if we order $999.99 version with the tank and toolbox from Worksman, then we already have a lot of the parts that are in the engine mounting kit that is on Sportsman Flyer website to motorize it.
How does the 160cc engine handle in this frame? Is it still flickable and easy to throw around?
Is direct drive with a large sprocket bad or does it really need a reduction drive?
Hi Mikey,
Buying my Sportsman Flyer direct from Worksman is a good way to start. Worksman does not carry my fuel tank, just the similar panel tank that is for storage and not fuel. I prefer to sell the engine install component package as listed on my web site and do this mostly as a way to assure the quality of the finished product. That said, I also can, and do, sell the individual parts from the complete install package. You would need to contact me to discuss how we can make this happen.
The GC160 is a powerful engine package and the bike handles exceptionally well. I prefer to use the larger drum hub on the 160's as opposed to the coaster brake.
The bike ABSOLUTELY needs the reduction drive system for both the reduction and chain offsets. Trying to do it direct just wouldn't be a good idea. This is an example of why I prefer to sell complete engineered component packages.
Thanks,
Pat
