azbill's EZM stretch project

I thought I would add some pics of the granddaughters' new trailer to the build thread (transporting them around is the main reason I built my bike)

the trailer was designed/built by their father (azvinnie), it has suspension, a full steel frame and is skinned in aluminum with a custom bimini top (stitched by my daughter Crystal), that tilts up for head clearance while getting in/out

Very classy and reminds me of an old time fringed surrey type of buggy my father had as a boy which was pulled by a Shetland pony. The girls are riding in style now! Their dad did a nice job.

I had to make new struts for the rear fender,,,the oldest grandkid thought it would be cool to sit back there, and folded the cheasy, stamped, paper thin stock ones

I used 3/4 x 1/8 thick plated steel flat stock I got at ACE

the fender is very stiff now, and if you try to shake it from side-to-side, the whole bike moves





 
I like it Bill! Good job on the struts and the stickers :) Lookin fine! I swear those are the luckiest grandkids in the world riding on such a fine machine :D
 
I finally hit the magic 10,000 mile mark !!! (^)
this little engine with the Q-Matic drive is a very reliable work horse :):):)

I still have never even pulled the plug to look at it !!!...if it aint broke, why fix it ;)
 
Great to hear Bill, I don't see 20,000 miles out of her being a problem at all!(^)
Happy riding and keep it coming.....4-stroke reliability baby!!!

just took the RAW 80cc out of the box. mounts fit 1-1/4" frame , but my micargi mustang has 1-1/2" frame tubes. has anyone got any ideas on mounting? the enigine stud holes are 1-5/8"apart on-center so there's not much room for grinding out and widening the frame saddle of the mounting block to saddle the frame. and as for the front mount, I have seen many "far away" shots of bikes, but no up-close shots. are guys welding short tubes vertically off the bottom frame tube for the front mount to saddle to?
 
hey there bill i really love your project man!!!... is pretty neat and seems to be simple... i was just wondering if you were willing to help a fellow rider to build his own??... id just need to know whats the approx budget and the pieces that u bought... here is a pic of my mustang (its all stock)... thanks 8)

seriously the coolest tank in the world! How much would Vinnie charge to do another identical one? Really...it seems there are a few of us out here drooling!
 
Sorry,,,
Vinnie isn't interested in making tanks for sale :(,,,
this was his first/only and done as a favor for me
 
Well, understood. Thank you for posting the pictures for the rest of us droolers to show a fabricator as a template. Won't be cheap I imagine...
 
vinnie says he wouldn't do another for less than 350$
he also would need a template of your tank area (in case of differences between my frame and yours)

pm or email if still interested
 
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :)

a customer of mine liked the stretch so much,,,he cloned it !!!
here is a couple of pics he sent me

many phone calls/emails to get to that point ;)
bike looks great (^)

Thats odd... Look ahead of the fuel tank. Looks like an extra seat or something he added. Bill found out where that awsome headlight can be had for a good price. http://www.demonscycle.com/
 
good eye velo !!!
that is a seat for his little boy to enjoy rides with dad ;)
I believe he is eventually gonna get a trailer to pull him around in :)
