Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've been here. I got away from the motorized bikes for a while but I'm finding so much and happiness in working on them again. As I'm sure many of you can understand I have a graveyard of broken and picked-from bikes in my basement . I'm currently building a chinagirl with this engine that I already overhauled a while ago with high grade japanese bearings, american hardware, etc. I'm adding a homemade cdi, a homemade jackshaft so I can use the 7 speed cluster, a homemade clutch lever, homemade cable choke, and a bunch of other things. My tool collection and abilities have gotten much better since I last came here. Which reminds me, if anyone in CT needs a little steel welded for say permanent engine mounts, I have a very nice mig that I'll help you with KEEP ON RIDING!!!!
