Built it in two days, hardest part was sizing the chain without a chain tool. The tank is an antique kerosene tank and has a level gauge in the back i paid $12 for. made the seat post and had to relocate the rack. I did it for aesthetics and for me to fit better, I,m 6'4" and my knees hit the original handle bars. I am looking for a old motorbike style large headlight but do not know where to find one.

A big thanks to everyone on this forum I couldnt have done it without lurking. So, what does everyone think?

Thanks guys! my next one will be an older bike like maybe a Schwinn or something of the sort. The Huffy is great now but out of the box it was junk. Hopefully an older Schwinn would be bigger and made better. However, I plan on waiting a while to get another one because I want to do so much to this one (Springer fork, headlight, front brake, key switch Quick Brick tires). Girlfriend wants one so I might make her a smaller one (she is 5' flat) does anyone think these engines might fit on a slightly smaller bike?
 
About your girlfriend bike if you can cut, fit, fabricate and wield you can make it work. LOL. So you've come to the right place.
