This bike was actually a bit of a challenge to put together. 
Unfortunately, aftermarket parts from different style bikes don't simply bolt right together.... (nothing fits correctly).
It takes a lot of creative engineering & compromise to make it all happen.
In the end, this bike turned out great & it runs smooth & fast!
On it's first test run, it clocked 40 MPH on my GPS with a 44t rear sprocket!!!
It has one of those Phantom 85 engines... (I'm really impressed with it's performance).

Norm, you are a true craftsman and a genius! Fabrication skill, mechanical ability, creativity, and experience trump any motor bicycle issues. The bike absolutely rips and climbs hills. As you can see, I am a rather large fellow…lol. + 1 for Phantom 85 v.3This bike was actually a bit of a challenge to put together.
