I bought a bike today...... I did not need another bike, but the price was right.
Schwinn Southport 7 speed....made for toysrus, D ick's sporting goods, etc.
My buddy's bro in law (John) brought it by last night.....said his boss bought the bike & the kit & paid someone to put it together.
Big KUDOS to the builder!! They did a really nice install. Clean.....NGK plug.... #41 chain...
John said it was a Happy Time engine. 80/70cc
I fell out laughing!!!! I'll bet the original owner or the builder has spent some time at MBc. (this bike came from Carthage-Joplin, Mo.)
anywho..... My question.... What vendor supplied this kit?
the engine is painted gray. (looks nice)
nice throttle control w/ chrome accents
locking clutch lever
is this all standard now? (I haven't bought a kit since 2005)
The owners manual was has full color pics, w/ orange boarders. Pics of windmills, greenhouses.... the back cover has a b/w exploded view of the engine. (parts list on the last page)
I did replace the exhaust pipe, with a NOS grubee pipe. The original pipe blew the baffle out today & I ran over it!! It is very thin metal.
the engine looks good....runs good....sounds good.
I just need to know the supplier, so I can tell the next owner where to get replacement parts...if needed.
remember....I did not need another bike. haha
any help appreciated.
TIA
