This is my bike I built, it came out of a garbage pile. Wish I would have started with a new bike.

All my bikes are one step from the trash heap and I just really love mixing and matching them.
 
now that is an awesome looking motorized bicycle. is the seat comfortable?
i like all the springs on it
 
Nice Bike!! How do you like the coaster brake setup? is it difficult to modify the brake itself or is it just a matter of taking it off to mount the sprocket?
 
It works great, the arm needed rebent to clear the bolt heads, I seen one where the bolts were countersunk and solved that problem, and the whole needed enlarged to clear the dust boot, I just ground it out with a burr and a die grinder.
 
I enlarged my sprocket hole with a metal rasp that fits into an electric drill. took a while but it worked quite well. Hardest thing for me was bending the brake rod without a vise. It can be done but take a while and some patience.
