hello,
new here from humboldt county. building a bike to put a motor in (no motor yet.) thought i'd check it out and see whats here. pic of the bike the other day, have since changed out the bars for something a little shorter and fixed the original banana seat and remounted. i'll put up some new pics soon. looking to mount something in the front rearend. basically took an old lowrider/stingray style bike and added a rear suspension to it. added a derailleur (sp) to allow the chain to flex when the shocks activate. need to replace the springer, might try making one. over all smooth ride. hard on your knees to pedal for any distance because of the low seat height and short length of pedals, but i think the right motor will cure that. hoping to find a 50 cc motorcycle engine with a manual transmission to squeeze into it, but for now anything will do to make it interesting. i live in a place that used to be a bike library so i've got quite a few parts and some interesting bikes around. like i said i'll put up more pics later.
