Hats off to ya bro, great bike for a great cause, God bless y'all for helping these people out...This ain't no M/B but but it's what I built today outta noth'n but donor parts it started out as just a frame, it along with 4 others I've been working on the past week are going to a park ministry this Sat that I'm involved with where we give out some groceries, clothes and other donated articles ( like the bikes ) to those that have been hit hard by these economical times.
His Name is "Trasher" and he rolls good despite his looks LOL!
Excellent........ you're doing a great thing and you'll be blessed for it....Thanks! Map this pic was last Christmas Dec 22nd 2013 100 more bikes were brought to the park shortly after this pic was taken but there was over 1000 people by 5:00pm so my goal is to keep a few kids out of trouble this summer by giving them a bike for something to do when they are board and I even got a couple for adults who don't have a car and need to get to work.
Next project when funds come available is to build a trike for a buddy of mine who was run over by a car last year and can no longer drive because his feet were crushed we'll see.
But lets get back to the this tread I just wanted to post what I did to a non M/B today HE! HE! HE!.
Ditto...!Sounds like a lot of love going into that paint job. Be great to see your results.
Sounds like you had a great ride.... makes me want to skip work tonight and just hit the back roads......!Today I rode my bike to the parts store, but I took the long way.
First I went to the park by my home (photo 1)
Then went a few miles to the Santa Cruz Park (photo 2) where I have to shut the motor off and pedal (photo 3)
From their it was a few miles to the parts store where I took the wash instead of the bike lane for a little dirt (photo 4)
And then finally the parts store and back home (photo 5)
Not sure map its been a long time since I even looked for one I do know I had a hard time getting a hold of them a few years ago.Sounds like you had a great ride.... makes me want to skip work tonight and just hit the back roads......!
I like that banana pipe, does anyone still sell that particular pipe, the one I ordered from dax is really small, and not exactly what I was expecting it to be.
By the way I can tell it is modified on the flange end and that you have put a small type mower muffler on it but the main chamber is what I like for it size and larger shape.

I've had the same experience with the .mufflers, the added back pressure hurts performance on all the china girls I've run, a straight through pipe has always given me best mid range and best topspeed iride open road 99.9% of the time so any extra lowend power does me no good, I gear for the road and like to cruise at a good clip of 30+mph and one of my bikes cruises at 40+ mph, it has no chamber and that engine pulls good from low to 9000+ rpms but will sing along formiles and miles at around 8000 with a 36T rear and my 210lbs which is at least 215 adding my clothing.Not sure map its been a long time since I even looked for one I do know I had a hard time getting a hold of them a few years ago.
Playing with the header length really changes how the pipe performs with my experience. It took me a while but I got this one right where I wanted it with this motor.
The muffler was just added recently and I don't like it, it killed my pipe. But it does help a little with the noise factor and right now performance is not my main thing so its staying on for a little while.
