First build. Just sayin what’s up

[breath_easy13]

After months and months of research, longing to build the ultimate motorized bike. I’ve finally pulled the trigger on the start to me build. Purchased the big ol predator 212 motor. Couldn’t tell you how stoked I was to get it in the mail today. From the ground up, and the help of some good Cali friends, well be building a 212 fat tire cruiser. I understand the difficulties, and the funds associated with this decision and all I gotta say is let’s do it ! Plz let me know any forums or post that might help with the build down the road.

That looks good, not sure as some guys had the crack, believe the china kit ones to be bad......Curt

Yeah I wasn’t gunna say the China kits look like trash. This blast kit supposedly has an updated plate vs the other mount plates.
