Hello all,
I am a newbie and have not fully browsed through the site so forgive me if I haven't seen the right thread.
Anyway, I just ordered the Micargi Mustang GTS from 2wheelbikes.com along with my 80cc motor from Zoombicyles. Since this is my first project, could someone please provide me with all the information, parts and pictures that I would need to complete my project? Like DIY steps and where I can buy the necessary parts? I want to have everything ready and in front of me before I start building as I hope to complete it in one day.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and wish me luck!
MbZ65, here's RedB66's break down list for his latest stretch build, also see his updated post for motor mounts!

Re: Sneak Peek at "Orange Crush"
RedB66's reply to me regarding his break down list of parts, suppliers, and how to's for this build!
The frame is from Masterlowrider.com
Tank is custom from ACME Labs
66cc Slant head with chrome covers
Husky 12ga wheels with Manic Mechanic 28T
Handlebars are 780mm Super Wide Cruiser
Fenders are Nirve Street Sweepers
The mounts are a evolution from my original idea.
Updated "Stretch" cruiser mounts:

I tried to detail the bike as much as I could... The brake, clutch and throttle cables are orange, as is the fuel line and housing for the CDI wires.
There is a 12V power supply tucked up under the seat that powers a orange LED tube thats tucked under the tank. Looks pretty cool at night!!
Aftermarket Billet aluminum grips with tear drop mirror.

From RedB66's post:
Started with a Micargi GTS Mustang. Added a few extras: Dual pull brake lever, push button clutch, K&N style air filter, Baby-Bee tail light with visor, 9volt headlamp with visor. Made the motor mounts myself, went with u-bolts to preserve the frame. I'm not too big on drilling holes through the frame and wasn't quite sure that the forward engine placement would work. So far so good. Ordered a Nitrous Kit mainly for cosmetic purposes, with the style air filter I have it should be an easy.

RedB66's reply to forum member biker.
Took about one week to complete once I gathered all the parts. This is actually my second build. It is "Nice to Ride", I get compliments everywhere I go and have had a couple offers for it....upwards of $900. "Not For Sale"....but I can build another one!!
MBz65, there are many other post's here in the Stretch Cruiser & Chopper Lowrider motorized bicycles forum, where some of our most talented stretch cruiser builders give very detailed build list's showing the who what where for their builds.
Check post's on stretch cruiser builds by AzBill, Civlized, Venice Motor Bikes, i-paint, graucho, longhair, rockvoice, maxvision, brett mavrick, these guy's are very talented and as you've seen by their reply's offering guidance or suggestions a very helpful group of guy's who like sharing their knowledge and skills for building awesome motorized bikes!
MBz65, my suggestion to you is take your time don't rush your first build, you'll have more hair and less headaches during this build trust me if you take your time to get it just right!
Peace Crazy Horse
