1st Build / Luisa Capetillo

Hola MB'rs


Heres my working MB, its Worksman LGB "Panadera" with a "Bikes Berry" kit, with a couple of tweeks to it. The motor is mounted with more angle than normal, to acomplish this the back motor mount had to be longer. Had to make a new Intake tube, i bet works better than stock one. The chain had to be 3 links longer. Right now the muffler may need some bending because its slightly in conctact with the pedals. The rear fender will be back on soon, after some nice clean bending. Right now the super big basket is off for easier handling of the bike in general. Looks pretty bad a$$ IMO.

This MB will be called Luisa Capetillo from now on i memoir of the first Puertorrican woman to use long pants, and was in jail for using mens clothing, had 3 children and was not married, organized the tobbaco and cane workers into unions, wrote a couple of books and essays in her time, she was way ahead of the 1890's. Thats why my bike is called Luisa, cause shes tough and a rebel to impossed social laws.
this bike has been a hard core mechanical challenge, lol, fun stress, i cant stop thinking of the next thing in the list! am i crazy?
