Hi all:

The great hunt for slow speed and admiring looks is ON.

First piece was just delivered. A Huffy 26" Panama Jack bike. Do take the time to look it up online, it's a handsome bike with great color scheme. No it is not a classic but will work for me . Looks and performance count with me within the old budget.

Next present was an all, old school, steel galvanized lined Tecumseh gas tank with a working petcock. Bonus it holds 1.316 gallons.

In the next few days I'll go to pick up an E Z Motor kit from a gentleman for a fair price, mounted up but never run, no gas in the tank or oil in the case.

Found H/D SS brackets to mount 160 mm disc brakes on my style forks.

If I can swing it, the brake of choice is a Avid BB7 160 mm combo kit, its complete at 60% off.


Do have a question: What style of kickstand works best for the motorized cruiser bike? The center located or the rear axel model. All input will be apreciated.

If I bore you , sorry, just skip any of my posts.

My best mate used to say "No hurry,No worry"

So to All "No hurry,No worry"

Kickstand placement is all personal choice. I prefer the center mounted ones.
I use and recommend the Massload center stand from Pirate Cycles.

That Porteur centerstand from Pirate looks really good!

...spreads as it opens !!!
and adjustable legs? Wow! That's really great!

That would be a real classy addition to a Panama Jack motorized bicycle !

My two cents for a Panama Jack Cruiser would be to hang a Huge muffler on it.
And try to dampen the intake noise, also, with a nice airbox.
Make it as quiet as possible.
More people will be happy to see you.

Yah, yah.. you can put a cut-out in the exhaust pipe to get the big power when out on the open road.

A full sized 2nd seat is also a classic look... if you can figger out footpegs???
