I work with a bicycle Co-op and ride/build alot of mopeds scooters and motorcycles, so naturally I got curious about motorized bicycles.
It's got the 80cc flying horse bicycle kit from a friend of mine who moved, put it on a Diamondback Outlook bicycle frame.
The wheels have been replaced and the front wheel has a Shimano Nexus generator hub for self-powered lights, works great
Solid street/dual tires, lets you get higher pressure so i havent had problems with flats that people warned me of repeatedly
The front forks are replaced with a motorcycle-style full triple tree suspension fork. cheap one but looks good, works well
The right brake lever is dual-pull to simultaneously apply front and rear brakes, keeps the left side free for the clutch
got an SHA carb, new throttle, got a pipe for it at barber vintage fest that's not on it yet.
The rear section's been extended to fit a longer seat, also adapted it to fit a yamaha DT gas tank
and welded the chain tens in place.
It's a little ratty & scuffed in places, but all in all I think it's pretty awesome.
some earlier in-progress pics
only 35, but that's not bad for now
I've got a pipe for it laying about I'll probably put on, unless I sell the bike first. anyone want it? $400 in ATL.
It's fun but I've got enough stuff around, also hate hanging on to projects. Once it's "done" int's gone. on to the next one.
