I like that mounting hardware for the engine- did you make that yourself?

Yes....They are made out of Simpson Construction Ties from Home Depot.

Very nice looking! How's it holding up? What kind of speed can you get with a big bike like this? i-paint

Stretches are the way to go...was going to build a normal beach cruiser but can't seem to get away from these.

I want to build a bike just like this one. can you give me your specs and where you got the frame, engine, chain tension item, engine kit...all the details you can spare for my build.

that is a good looking bike.

This bike was built in 2008. The Greenline Stretches are no longer available. Firmstrong Urban Deluxe is a very close (if not the same) set up. As for the specs.... I have another build in the works with updated mounts and I will post pictures when it's complete.

From the first pics, it looks like you have your chain tensioner on the upper run of the drive chain. Is that something you have to do on STRETCH bikes? I thought they had to be on the lower run on the drive chain (no stress when underway).
The bike is very sweet though!!!!

It is mounted on the top as a guide and to reduce chain slap. Mounting the engines up front makes for a long drive chain.
