Photos & Bicycle Builds

Finally rode it a few miles. According to the speed control sign on my street I got up to 38, which is plenty fast for me. Pretty quick of the line although I can tell my 20 dollar clutch slips a bit. Only took me 11 1/2 months.

Good start. The 1960s era huffy forks worked well for the base. Need to figure out if I want the headlight elevated slightly above handlebars, mid range or head tube level. After those brackets are tack welded I'll finish the welds, grind and file them and, move on. Happy with the results so far.

Headlight came in from England yesterday. Luckily it's in very restorable condition. Not sure if I'll use a carbide tank or make it an LED.

Got the Worksman frame, Early carbide headlight coming from England. Made these bars over the last couple of days and will build the front truss fork using an early 60s Huffy triple plate fork that hopefully will be shipped by the seller soon. I want it to closely resemble a 1912 Excelsior motorcycle. No sprocket or pedals. I make foot rests and use the bottom bracket for the jack shaft. Going with a 212 predator. I'm going to fil the entire build and post it on my youtube channel but will only post it once completed and break the video into sections so they're a watchable length. Probably won't be done till spring. Winter will be here in a few months and my garage is not heated.

Everytime I look at her I cant believe I created it from scrap and junk and the only problem I have with it is that I cant keep it Wide Open without muh cheeks tightning up. lmao

Apparently our water heater broke down at work so I got the day off and the weather is awesome so I'm tearing down and prepping the board. I'm surprised how everything lines up pretty good so far. I'm still getting an adapter plate and vibration buffers for the motor mount. The bearings and rims are great. The tires are ok but I'm upgrading to some slimed out, beefed up knobbies. After some lube the brake linkage is really smooth and even the shoes look good. That pretty much leaves me with the hardest part. Figuring out the paint scheme. I'm thinking straight black with hot pink suspension. I'll definitely keep Tigger decal on the front. Seems like a good name for it..Tigger. I received my kill switch and leash.

A dumpster Mongoose and P-85. About 150 yards from this house in s a sign that reads, ‘Loud motorcycle exhaust will not be tolerated.’ And they are serious because there is a series of switchbacks that all the Johnny racers go up and down. I really think that loud Harleys are what they are trying to discourage.

Im think this fork might be just a little bit stronger than the 25 year old Judy xc.

Before I had a clue about motorbikes, I bought the gas tank frame from Badberry. I wanted to build my first 2 stroke and get it street legal and plated for Florida Laws. I also bought the Badberry "BBR Tuning" performance "80 / 100cc" engine kit for my soon to be legal bike. Then I read the Florida Statutes on Moped (gas motor bikes) and found out it needed to be 50cc or less. So I shelved the BBR engine and bought a silver streak 50cc motor kit and the rest is history for the Risk's Ride and its fully legal registered Florida Motorbike that reaches 35-40 mph with ease. I was tired of kicking that BBR kit around my garage and have all three of my Whizzers running pretty well, so I parked them under the sheets for a few weeks to...

I rode the bike as far as the house next door and immediately came to a couple conclusions. First thing is the 25 year old rock shox Judy is not up to the task. I am going to find a steel threadless 1 1/8 rigid fork that is disc brake ready unless any of you folks could recommend a affordable yet well made suspension fork. Second thing is the coaster brake is pretty much worthless as a few of you guys had told me would probably be the case with it I don't have any idea what I am going to do for the rear brake. But it was a really good feeling to fire it up and actually ride it even if it was only for a couple hundred feet. I got a disc brake coming for the front but I'm thinking I might want to get a 4 piston front brake caliper...

My first post. There it is, my first bike. Hiland MTB 66cc motor cleaned up internals, port matched, NGK plug, extractor exhaust, HP carb, 52 tooth rear sprocket and modified stock muffler. Stock internals and head. Took a long time to make this happen, watched a lot of youtube and read the forums. This one is the best by far. A few details, the extractor on it's own was way too loud so I put the stock muffler on which killed the power so I made it into a glass pack by gutting the internals, drilling several more holes in the pipe, wrapped it loosely with expanded screen and filled the cavity with fibre glass. Works great not too loud. The stock rear sprocket was drilled to mount on the disc brake hub but found it way too fast and had...

Evertime I make some decent progress it seems like something else in life pops up I'm getting close I got the chainline all set, the jackshaft needs to be replaced as I got one of those cheap 45 dollar ones from eBay and the I'd on the bearings was 14mm so I ground down the shafts just to install it to get my chainlines set. Has anyone else had problems with those cheap jackshaft kits I. Amazon and eBay or did I just get unlucky? They all look the same. The brackets and everything else was decent for 5he price just wrong size bearings which will be replaced and a new shaft. Anyway got everything from the tank back figured out. I found a decent mtn bike front suspension fork in good shape so I can put 203mm discs up front. Once I get...

NOTE: This came out to be a lot longer than expected so just be prepared to read lol. So I'm gonna use this to show where I'm at with my hobby for now and also point out what I've learned from personal experience. What I say may not apply to everyone so don't take my words as something general. But basically, when I first built this bike I got the help of a friend who knew about it more than me. The build was solid at first but there were many things I should've changed about it looking back at it. Leaving things stock came out to become a nightmare and many things were breaking/not working at their fullest. - First thing I think I should mention which ultimately cost me the most and caused the most headache is the rear sprocket. The...

I am getting back to my bike after my dog died about a month and a half ago. I'm wondering about my chainline coming to the wheel from the jackshaft. The bike originally was a hybrid and had 700 wheels and I don't know if I'm going to be able to fit this 26 coaster wheel. Perhaps have to heat and bend the chainstays a bit more. I already bent them a bit inwards to fit the hub as the bike originally had a 7 speed cassette and was to wide for the hub. The rims 28mm wide and I would like to what the thinnest tire anyone has successfully used on a coaster brake wheel. Any advice, criticism, or encouraging words would be appreciated.

not sure what brand of bike or motor but with a little bit of work ,this how she turned out. welded some solid motor mounts,was getting tired of the janky u bolt and etc. but anyways,boy oh boy are these things fun!! wanting to install disc brakes but i’m not sure of the size of the disk and wut not or wut will work on this. i’ll have to weld brackets to mount the caliper.

A bike I built for my uncle, was a fun project. There was a bunch of learning and customizing involved. The bike runs really smooth, hard to tell if you’re riding a bicycle or a motorcycle, really a different ride. These motorized bikes are really fun, a good fun thing to do, definitely addictive. This was my second build and I’m already starting on the next one! Lol
