Schwinn sanctuary 7 4 stroke?

I'm thinking of going with a Schwinn sanctuary 7 for my first 4 stroke build. Has anyone mounted a 4 stroke on this bike? I found it for $230 on amazon.com. It's got everything I want on it. It's got speeds, V breaks on both wheels, and a rear rack. schwinn bike.jpg
 
I've built several 4 stroke kits on this & similar Schwinn's....Schwinn is a good choice

Cool. I used to have a Schwinn hybrid bike with 700cc wheels a few years ago. I like Schwinn to. It looks like it has enough space. Is the rear hub a good fit for the rear sprocket? I'd hate to have to modify anything to make it fit (aside from the expected modifications with 4 stroke builds) I'll be going to Walmart today to test one out to make sure it fits me. They have a single speed with a coaster break but the frame shouldn't be any different from the version I want.

Just went to Walmart today. They didn't have any Schwinn sanctuaries in stock but I found a Schwinn Point Beach that looks almost identical to the sanctuary 7 I was looking at on amazon. I also can fit on it comfortably. Has anyone ever mounted a an HS 50cc 4 stroke on that bike?IMG_3685.jpg
 
I've put several 4 stroke kits on this very bike, no mods needed to the bike.....depending on the engine mount I do modify it so that the engine sits farther forward. this makes it easier to check oil & such....Fact is I have a Point Beach with a Stage 111 four stoke for sale now.....
 
A direct drive sprocket will go on dandy but if you have the $ you might want to consider a jackshaft.

The 49cc HS 142 engine will move you OK once you get going but a real dog off the line.
Using the bikes gears with the engine will get you off the line in a snap and let you go faster when you get into overdrive.

Gears change everything ;-}

Great! Can you post a pick of one of your Schwinn sanctuary or point beach builds? I would like to see what one looks like before I get it put together as it will take me some time to save for the engine kit. The bike I can probably get next month or in March. But I probably won't have the engine kit till April or may because 4 stroke kits cost more than 2 strokes but worth it from what I've read about them compared to 2 strokes.

I just started one of these this weekend with the HS 142F engine..will post some pics for you to look at..let me know what you think

Awesome! Yeah defiantly post some picks. I wanna get some good respective before I start my first 4 stroke cruiser build. The HS 4 strokes are big engines (compared to 2 strokes) but they are easier to take care of and usually better quality than Chinese 2 strokes. I had a 2 stroke road bike a few years ago and man that thing was an annoying piece of crap. I hated having to mix gas & oil and the gear box started having major problems so I ended up selling it for parts. Now I'm in the market for a good 4 stroke kit. I was thinking of the HS 4G sold on phantombikes.com as they are the better quality 4 stroke kits. It would take me longer to save up for the 4G but its worth it from what I hear.
 
Hi OP..I myself have a cruiser 4stroke with the 4G timing belt drive. No jackshaft or fancy gears here though. I do have some thoughts: So far, I like the mellow range of rpm and speed that 2/3 throttle gets me, 22-25mph as above that the rpm shakes the whole bike. I don't know yet what exact rpm it is, but the HS motor definitely likes cruising below wide open for sure.

Thats fine with me, as I like the simplicity of one speed for reliability and less wrenching, but I need to make a big upgrade path choice concerning driveline soon. I've posted some pics that perhaps could be of interest; check em out!
