My prob at the time was that I got creases on the seat post tubing that always favoured that spot. While it was nice to have spring driven tensioners I think thing it made my bike a little ugly, but it worked. A set it and forget it mentality.
The bike is aluminium I always figured one of the rear frame trailing arms was gonna crack, but with 10,000 miles on it it never did. About 3000 miles with the J shaft
Having done a ton of peddling in my day I really figured that the chain would start jumping off the teeth as it will occasionally do on rear smaller rear cog sets.
However though the small out put cog on the right has held up quit nicely! My Idea had been to wrap the chain around it and get as much teeth as I could. The Jshaft kit is really a good kit this mods are not imperative. No one has ever complained of such issues.
At the time I just welded every thing in it really was quick and dirty I did not spend much time on it at all. A lot less fab work with a welder around! I had felt a need to brace things up a bit as I had really been romping on it.
If you look at the picts you will see the front mount was not done right. This bike is too small for me... Peddling this bike is very hard on the knees because the cranks are under the seat and not forward. I am tall. I kept the bike around it performed very well. It is also very light in weight.
I eventually led my self to this project.

The
Sick Bike Parts LLC - Performance parts for your motorized bicycle kit is a fine kit and worth the money too I would recommend it! In the early days of riding I always felt the motor would be bogging down going through a neighbourhood. So that led to going too fast.
The kit made me enjoy life and the China 2 smoke that much more!! Better more polite riding habits!! You just let off the throttle everything gets quite and ya just coast and listen to the tires working the pavement. The sounds of birds. I love it! I got better fuel economy with it as well!
It is a great kit I highly recommend it .While this thread is a old one It is cool to say the kit did well. I have grown since then a bit. I saw your kit some time ago. I felt apologetic the whole time I posted here. They are fun enjoy!
