Hello all, this is my first post on this forum. I have been working on my new motorbike build for a few weeks now. I started by picking up a Felt Fat Tire Ale giveaway bike off craigslist for super cheap.
Here it is minus the original handle bars I put on some 40 year old schwinn bars.
I then started playing with it. I decided to go with a 99cc predator engine, stormy archer 70mm front drum brake, Felt Abraham front fork (very nice by the way) and a few other goodies. I couldn't decide on a fuel tank for the longest time but I wound up going with a HOnd GX390 fuel tank.
After a couple weeks the bike finally started to take shape.
I got to the point of making throttle linkage and air filter setups to better clear my legs and pedals. I decided to pickup a PZ22 style carb since hooking up throttle would be easier and a UNI air filter slides right on. To make it all bolt to the engine I used 3/4" copper tubing and 1/4" copper plate to make an intake manifold.
