Well I just want to say hello for starters, and I really want to order me one of the 66/80cc motors. So im excited about this project.
I have an old farm bike, big old bulger type and I want to rat it out but w/ a little old school attitude. Im old schooll baby boomer but dig the idea of doing this project about something I enjoyed doing as a kid, fixing up bikes and customizing, not to mention riding. God I was never home! Anyway any advise will be appricated and written down so I dont forget..lol. Some of you younger whips out there zero in and inovate like sharks. Im looking foward to getting some tips from you motor heads of mayhem..lol. This is gonna be fun.

Here are important questions to consider when building for yourself or others:

1) What is the predominant riding terrain?
2) What type of physique does the primary rider have?
3) What will the rider's local laws allow and require them to have?
(Lookup and personally read these laws.)
4) What kind of bike is being motorized?
5) What is the bike to be used for?
6) How much of a budget is to be used for the build?

Seek the answers to these questions in order to get the most out of the bike you're building. We're here to help with any questions you may have. Good luck with your build. Here in Tennessee you should look up TC Tittle 55-8-101(35). You can also go to the legal section in this forum and lookup what Tennessee considers a motorized bicycle.

Well I got the motor kit and Ive been painting the bike, got the springer forks on and the new lower unit hardware. Just haave to wait for the smaller sprocket. I read will let the motor set a little lower in the cleavage. Thats not as attractive on an older woman but ****! i'm at the point now where thats not an issue ....LMoldAO.... I painted her Desert sand Tan. think ill still hit it w/ a satin, nt sure? But shes gonna look old and rugged, w/ a more utilitarian attitude. Dont wanna be to flashy. Young women may try to force themselves on me just to get my wheels spinnin....LOL
