my project Phat Cycles cruiser aka 'Bastard'

Here is my project Phat Cycles Cruiser. I have run into a few issues in trying to complete the project, chain rub, chain tensioner slipping to name a few. I just received in the mail a 40 tooth sprocket, sprocket adapter, motor shims and #41 chain. I replaced the 26x2.125 tires with narrower 1.95 tires, this should correct the chain rub. Going to mount the motor, shims, chain and remove links in chain to take up slack and replace the pedal chain. Hopefully I will be up and running by this weekend. Here are some pics. I will post more pics as it comes along

Got the 'Bastard' together today, need a smaller diameter fuel line and we should be good to go. Here are some pics.

I think some longer apes are in order, those just look too short for all intents and purposes :D
 
Got the fuel line installed and adjusted the chain. Took it for a shake down cruise and it runs and is fun. Need some more throttle response so I may be adjusting the airbox and i need a front brake the coaster is not going to be sufficient. But for now it is good to go.
 
I had no chain clearance issues with my Phatcycles bike....
