what did you do to your motorized bicycle today?

took the dead coaster wheel off the cruiser I bought last year - ground teeth real thin on crank sprocket - put a 5speed wheel on & derailer - pinch-nut on freewheel side held tire about 1/4 inch off to the left of center, so cut 1/4 inch off the standoff of the pinch-nut - freewheel just barely rubbed on frame, so put back one thin washer

works just fine
 
Got me a goodie in the mail today!
Gen V balanced long block from MotorBicycleRacing! (Same motor dax sells but better price and no "Made in America" malarky.)

Complete detailed review to follow in High-Performance section....

Yay, my care package arrived today as well, Thanks Neil!

Bottom end looks great and I know its the luck of the draw but it looks better than my other one. Neil also sent me a 36T sprocket a few shirts and some gaskets-WooHoo I love package day!



Maniac, I will be watching your build VERY closely!

looks like it is time to build another motorized bicycle. look forward to seeing and reading about.
 
I washed my motorized bicycle today. couldn't think of anything else to do. I want to build a mid drive electric bicycle next. still trying to learn all I can about them

Dang-it Paul.... wish I could be cleaning my bikes up today, I guess I could pull them out of the shop and let the freezing rain and ice scrub them down.......!

Oh what I would give for some warm dry weather right now....!

Happy safe ridding wishes to all who can.

quill extenders came in today - put one on my own cruiser

nice now to have bars tilted down a bit for more comfortable hand position : )
 
I started to make up throttle cable and then the darn phone rang and then the rest of the day went to he!! in a handbasket. More cdi orders from freinds on CGLC and FB. Gota love it $$$$
 
Did nothing today but hurt from the cold. Motor is sitting on my desk calling me to tear into it, but my the crying from my bones is drowning it out. Sorry to those waiting, but this cold really makes tinkering hard to enjoy. Review is coming but it will take quite a bit longer than it does in the summertime.
Stay tuned!

All my bottom ends look good.
There is no luck involved. :)

I threw in a thick bottom gasket too seeing that I have them.
Not too sure about the material it is made from?

That Antenna Banna is a "collectors" item from the Gulf war. :D
