Hello all!

[RawRaw]

Fairly new to the MB community. I want to go on long rides. I have gone on some 20 mile rides, and that is cool but I want to go on a LOOOOONG RIDE! 300 miles +. Any tips, suggestions, maps, links would behelpful? What should I do to my MB. I have a 68 schwinn tiger that worked really well with a china kit.

I have:
engine kit set up (flying horse 2 stroke 80cc)
heavy duty rims (amazon)
strumey archer dyno break hub 6V
rear view mirrors
cree xml t6 head light 12V


I feel I should:
get a spring fork (vintage preferably or vintage style)
spring seat post
larger gas tank (4L on ebay)
turn signals/ brake lights
figure out how to connect my rechargeable cree xml light to my strumey acher dyno hub 6V (????)
rear brake drum (bikeberry)
change the gas lines?
there are a lot of performance parts on bikeberry.com

any suggestions?

thanks guys!



p.s. anyone know where i can get one of these to pull the kids

I dont recommend a pull along unless you consider breaking power extreamly seriously. Especially with precious cargo!

Spring fork yes ,seat post no..i think they lead to broken spokes on rear rim.
I would slime the tubes and your gona need some tools for bike and motor.
Deff. Have a good light system, just off the top of my head i'd bett you can use the strumey as a charging circut for light. It will be a trickle charge but prob work?
As for routeing and maping its all in the prep work .i used to cross wisconsin back in my peadling days and always had a better time when i had done some recon before hand and knew were i was at all times. Dont trust any thing electronic to work 100% bring a map!
Some paneers are a must ,and a good lightweight bivy setup . Don't forget to bring a hamock ,there a wonderfull way to catch a nap durnig a rain break and keep you off. The ground 24-7 .
Prob most of all have a good bale out plan ,tell family were your off to and check in reg.
Theres like a thousand things and its a little overwhelming at first but some plaing at home goes a long way on the trail.
Lucky you have a leg up i never had ,the forum , good advice and potentialy some riding partners or help in case of mech prob.
Hope some of this is helpfull ,i be glad to help any way i can . Good luck
