I bought a Giant stilletto from a kid who messed its value up by welding a sissy bar in place and losing the rear fender. Cost, $90. I would like to mate a 79 cc predator to a Staton jackshaft and use the bike gears to shift. I will add disk brakes to the front. Would the best bet to marry the Predator and the Stanton jackshaft be an AGK clutch and jackshaft? Or could I run the centrifugal clutch on the predator straight to the Stanton jackshaft what tooth count gears would I need on the jackshaft and clutch to do that?? I'm looking for a comfortable cruiser in the 35 mph range using the bikes gearing. I have a 45 mile round trip commute, three days a week. I use to ride that on a racing bike, but I'm getting older and fatter . . . . Too many centuries on old fashioned Clip in pedals did a number on my knees. I'm a pretty good welder with a shop full of metal fab tools--my hobby is building experimental airplanes--so building motor mounts and the like will be easier for me than some others.
Any advice? I have poured over the web for a while, and have found a few Stilleto builds with Staton kits, or Predator builds, but no one putting both a predator and a shift kit on the Stilleto.
