New, built one!

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.

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.

yea right, damned thing comes out of adjustment like every 2 hours. my legs are unchewable. I dare it to tryn take a bite of me
 
I haven't touched my clutch in about 800 miles, something is wrong if it's going out that quickly
 
I like the café racer look! Very cool! The long seat is a great idea, too, and very practical as it will work to keep your butt dry when the roads are wet.

I am kinda surprised that I haven't seen any kind of mudguards added to the down tube. I'll take pics of mine tomorrow and put them on the site. They make a big difference when there is no front fender.

Very cool build. The Nexus Gen hub looks like those big hubs that come with the Felt cruisers.
