I bought an Electra cruiser off of Craigslist with the intention of just adding a 4 stroke motor kit and new handlebars. after I got the bike home I realized it would need a little more than that. Following is the list of new parts that I bought and integrated onto the bike:
Handlebars
brakes
brake levers
all new brake lines
shimano derailleur
shimano 7 speed cassette
thumb shifter
tires
wheels
tire liners
4 stroke motor
Stage 3 kit
Sick Bike Parts shift kit
Rear mount gas tank
The build took about 8 weeks. I ended up stripping the bike down completely and repainting it. I also designed and fabbed (with the help of the guys at work) the rear tank mount. With the 7 speed cassette this bike will go faster than I care to on a bicycle. It may be worth taking it out to the track just to see what it will do! Overall I am really happy with the way it came out.
