Getting started- Schwinn OCC Chopper

steel, are you running a 20 inch wheel in the front?If you are you have to watch the pedals when turning they hit the ground, how much better does it stop with the front brakes?

I think I'm going to eliminate the pedals when I put the motor in.....As for the brakes, I haven't installed it yet. I haven't got there yet. I'll probably see If I can mock it up tomorrow if I have time.
 
If I keep the pedals, I'll just section and shorten the crank. It's not too hard to do, I have fabricated many custom parts from scratch for lowrider bikes.
 
I just ordered my engine kit just now, and I tried getting the motor mount from Barry but he doesn't have anymore listed on Ebay. I sent him a message on there asking if he will be posting anymore.
 
i completley forgot about this!!! but would it be possible to get a close up of how the front brakes are mounted? thanks dude. p.s. if you got barrys mount you dont need the hub adapter, (saved 50 bucks) but you gotta put ALL the bolts through at the same time. like put through sprocket, tape bolts so they dont fall out, and push them all through at the same time. or you will be wrestleing that thing. (took me 1/2 hr to figure that one out) lol!
 
They sell the disc brake setups for cheap for lowrider bikes on several websites. I haven't installed these yet. I'm going to try to make these work on this. If not, I'll just buy the kit for the lowrider bike.
 
I just got my motor kit in!!!.... motor is already mounted onto bike! I just don't know what else to do.....lol where to start.........
