looks to be a good base for a 4 stroke build. I don't like that v angle for a 2 stroke though

Yeah gonna put an HS in there seemed to have everything for a good price,and it has to be better than all those cranbrooks i've been seeing.Unfortunately i have the dreaded chain drive gearbox,but found an old thread by tad bit tipsy,that said he swapped the chain for an HD chain and got some good life out of it.we'll see i guess

Btw you could use a block of wood with some poly to make it work well with a 2 stoke you might just need a longer u bolt from lowes.
Also those grey brake pads are complete **** on the kents you will need to buy new pads

I had a cranbrook for over two years, I will admit the stock wheels were not great, the stock seat was horrible and I added a suspension fork for more comfort, but the frame itself was magnificent. And it would hold a 4 stroke nicely.
