80 c.c. 2 stroke, custom exhaust,(cut up & welded back together) modified muffler, modified engine mount (i used barry's mount off e-bay, but modified it a little), custom gas tank from a jesse james chopper bicycle, all seams, holes & gaps welded closed, fuel pipes added to both sides, smoothed out with bondo, custom metallic black laquer and clear coat, custom made vented gas cap, clear fuel lines with an in line filter, and in line shut off valve.
I painted the cylinder with gloss black hi-temp engine enamel, polished the side covers on the engine, made a chrome stack for the carb. and used the stock filter element inside of it.
shortened the throttle and clutch cables, made my own hidden chain tensioner, modified the rear brake caliper to clear the chain, made a new spark plug wire from an accell 8 m.m. superstock wire, with a 90 degree rubber automotive boot on the end. 10 speed seat on a custom seat post to fit the o.c.c. seat post tube, spaced out the left peddle so it would clear the engine case. 41 tooth rear sprocket, rear wheel chain adjusters added to the rear axle, no front brakes, no front fender, modified rear fender to make it sit lower than stock. all wires soldered together, and covered with heat shrink.
just got it running tonight, and it runs perfect.
i can already tell that this one is going to be faster than my lowrider (which has a 50 c.c. 2 stroke on it). the rear tire on the chopper measures 24" tall from the floor to the top of the tire. the rear tire on my lowride measures 21" from the floor to the top of the tire. so the difference in rear tire size, is giving me a higher gear ratio. i rode it down the street, and at 1/4 throttle, i was probably doing close to 20 mph...i can tell that htis one wants to just go.
i made a lot of custom peices for this bike to make it all work right AND look good. this is my second m.b., but my 3rd. m.b. build.
