98cc Villiers beach cruiser

[harry76]

Hi guys, here is a project i have just started work on. I got the bike for free off a mate, i stripped it, added the seat, bars (flipped). The wheels are downhill singlespeed disc brake that i painted. I also made a disc brake mount for the rear disc. The motor is a 1950's 98cc Villiers that i plan to mount direct drive to a 20" rim mounted via brackets to the 26" rim. It will have a suicide clutch.....

You'll have a cool machine.

What is that car parked next to it? Looks like an early 60"s Plymouth Valiant, but you're in the UK, aren't you?

Whatever it is, it looks neat too.

paint ya bike the same color as the val... it will look ultra cool

 

[harry76]

Yeah that would look cool but Im thinking about leaving it bare metal and let it rust a little. I really like this seat on this bike and i like the seat ratty. I plan to have the bike looking old and ratty with nice shiny rims and tyres. Much like you see on ratrods.

 

[harry76]

But you never know..... plans change

Good on ya, mate. Slip that seat back over the tire a little bit and you're in there.

 

[harry76]

Yeah i probably will move the seat back, i plan on doing some more mods to the bike, but atm im mainly concentrating on the motor. I got a pulley for the motor and had a thread machined in it to match the shaft. Now ill fit the motor and now know how far the sheave will be away from the wheel so i can make a start on that.

I tack welded the engine mounts in tonight....
