Just another Cruiser....

Raleigh Retroglide 2005 with aluminium frame with 70cc.

Did all the suggested things at MBc to make it a quick and reliable ride

very clean basic install...how'd you do the front mount?

That is a really nice looking bike.

That's what we like to hear!

"Just another cruiser"? No, friend... thats your cruiser. Looks good 8) 8)
I was wondering about the front mount, also. It's been said that drilling a hole in frame is bad, so some detail of it may help future builds.
Happy :mrgreen:

Thank you for your comments.

I guess you are correct, I am very happy with it but compared to some of the rides you have well.........

Everyone here who has posted tips that helped me build it also has a small claim to it....non refundable however!!!

This was my 3rd attempt at motorising a bike over the last number of years and I will have to post some pictures of the other attemts as I can laugh at them now.

The front engine mount is a real easy fix to the fat bar problem and it has lasted very well. I posted it here a while ago:

Wow. That's very close to my bike but the front tube is more oval.
Very nice job!
(bookmarking thread)
Can anyone tell me what's the measurement between those two bolts on the original mount? My frame may just be thin enough to clear.

I obviously don't have my engine yet,but it would be cool to know!

I don't see a tensioner. I think personally it's fugly.
How you doing without it?

 

[go you good thing]

Thanks LF.

I managed to get away with not using the tensioner just by the position of the motor and the wheel in the frame (luck!). I focused on getting the chain tension correct on the motor side then managed to use a half link on the pedal side to get it close to right. I may need to use the tensioner on the pedal side as it still could do with being a bit tighter. I rarely pedal so it is not important

I'm considering getting the Retroglide7 for my MB project. Did you remove the fenders for aesthetics or was there some issue with them?

I don't plan to ride in the rain really, but that doesn't mean the roads won't be wet.
