my first chopper with an engine

well its jury rigged to heck and I havent raked out the head tube yet but this is my first attempt at motorizing a bike.I think I've done a good job I have a barrel adjuster in the line pulling my engine down for a dead mans clutch and a gear shifter for a throttle all i had was a drill ,angle grinder and a socket set another video shows the ape hangers i mounted to the frame for highway pegs but thats when i have it upside down in my yard with the wheels off tell me what you think guys

The orange bike may be a Yamaha bicycle or something similar. These are getting hard to find. I would try to do as little cutting to the frame as possible to save its value.

You might like a scissors clutch.

Nice work, looks like you are having a blast.

I am against the idea of using ballast.
Adds weight robbing performance.

Maybe fill it with gatorade? That would actually serve 2 purposes and after you drink that you could wheely all the way home!

Anyway, I would like to spend a day hanging out with you, that would be interesting. I could just imagine you at a scrapyard.

yea i have it full of fuel alot of the time but i am thinking of changing it over to a 7.5 ah deep cycle for lights and signals i want to rake the frame out later on but now i have an upside down set of ape-hangers attached to the frame for highway pegs
