Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to the advent of putting a motor on a bike. Though I suppose that's how they came up with early motorcycles... Anyway. I'm saying hello and hopefully I can get some help with my first build. My name's Mike, I live in San Diego and have been quite curious, intrigued one could say about motored bikes and read the forums here and elsewhere a good bit.
I recently went out and purchased myself a bike because my dad was adamant about not putting a crazy motor on our (his) bikes. The link to it is here http://www.rustyspokes.com and I'll get some pictures up too.
I also purchased a Honda GX35, after reading and talking to a few people regarding the Chinese two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
What I need to know, is, what kit would be good to install the engine? Do I need a kit, or can I just buy all the parts? I realize the suspension would loosen the chain which in turn could pop off and cause some horrific accident to occur, and that a chain tensioner would aid in nullifying that.
Waiting to get learnt,
-Mike
