I have been sitting on the pot too long, all the creative, monetary, and physical energy to making my Sportsman Flyer what I wanted. is done.
But all the talk of Husky wheels and links provided and this Stimulus money meant to be spent. So I did.
The Huffy Davidson frame and wheels sans engine kit was $219 on sale at Fleet and Farm in Menomonee Falls, Wi.
The wheel sets from husky totaled 20 bucks more that the whole bike.
Tells ya what ya get from Huffy.
Mind you my first re-exposure to motorbicycling from first sighting 30 years ago, when 10 vintage Whizzers passed by on a country road, lit a fire. So when a young fella at work rolled up with a Huffy Davidson in 2016 , I was smitten. I had to do it. Bike Berry was his chosen supplier at the time Having a real machine shop, allowed me to make a sprocket centering tool to perfect the concentricity of the drive sprocket, Which hounds many a rag join user.
So that's it, I'm off to Huffy land.
We are all rooting for you Danny. With Pete in the mix now, you are International.

wow, cool Tom. Some really cool, helpful people here. I know some of the old timers here have taken an interest and that’s great for me.

Look forward to your build buddy. Got a thread yet? Got friends and family around, will check later this weekend.

Appreciate you man.
 
Well Danny most everything that needs be done will be made via my machine shop thread.
Purpose made engine mount, as the universal mounts are woefully inadequate.
A 1914 Harley style rear brake arm mount.
Brake arm mount for front brake, maybe.

Well got some bad news today. My Cranbrook should have arrived last Friday. When I followed up with the seller, they claimed it was lost and were refunding my money.

based on the prices of new bikes on eBay and Amazon, I’m now looking in the used market.

That sucks! I just got notice of a B.O. from Husky, two week delay in filling order. That time of year.
Is there a used market of used for sale? With Covid used bikes have been scarce. Then I checked Craigslist.

wow I would jump on that if it was local to me.

mostly girls bikes in the used market, however after seeing some cool YouTube videos and now that I own a welder, a girls bike might be the perfect option. As Curtis said earlier, the loop is already built in.
 
You can go on anything Curt posts but his spelling. :) I never found another like that linked unless they were way high due to their quality. Keep snooping CL, lucky does happen.
Check this dude with a 3D manual clutch boardy.

I’m subscribe to that guy already. I watched that video before. I like his work

here’s a couple of bikes that are within about an hour to an hour and a half drive of me that are inexpensive

The Kulana Wave is a bit different. Could get away with a custom gas tank without modifying the frame. The handlebars would have to go but it does have a little bit of a drop back seat post. Might be a decent platform to start with. A little more than the Cranbrook but has a nice frame.

has anyone used this for a motorized bike?
