Stretching an aluminum frame for a Morini 50

[joabthebugman]

I have an old aluminum frame beach cruiser that I have been stroing away to motorize for a couple of years now.

It has the double frame bars like a Worksaman is is made from oversized tubes

The front and rear mounts both have to be oversized.

I had a China Girl mounted to it for a while but never even strated it up.

I also have an old Morini that I put into storage 2 years ago that I was thinking about building the bike around

My FAA certified welder/biker friend says that the aluminum frame can be made as strong as I want it to be with proper gussetting.

But I figured I would ask some here who have actually used the Morini, stretched bikes and built with aluminum frames.

I am toying with the idea of eliminating the pedals altogether and just building a street leagl scooter.

I also have a Dyno Taboo Tiki and 2 Dyno stretch cruisers to work with

I was also toying with the idea of taking an old Whizzer apart and using it to motorize one of the stretches

If you know me I would jump on that Dyno tiki for sure... If I can fit a 200cc fourstroke in one you can for sure make your motor work. It would be less work then installing it in that aluminum frame.

The Morini was orignally bought for the Tiki. But I love the look of the other bike.

I also kind of want to leave the Tiki intact, but I want to Morini on a BT
