Has anyone ever done this?

Interesting information about Gussets and Brazing. Thanks.

Overall, if the frame is steel with quality welds, I’m good! I want to focus more on heavy duty wheel bearings and good wheels to handle the speed. At 100mph, those bearings have got to get pretty hot!

I really do think you need to dial back the expectations. For a homemade machine 100kph with all the gear is tempting fate, let alone 100mph.

A kx65 engine would work well. Those take 420 chain making the sprocket situation easier.
If you could get a stout usa made schwinn beach cruiser, those will take k10 forks without too much trouble. Just a matter of filing the rear forkends to fit a 12mm axle if you want a matching wheel rear wheel. Check out treatland's wheel hubs. Can get a rear drum brake hub with sealed bearings, and a sprocket mount for not too much.

I was thinking of one of those CT125 China clone motors, like on a Honda cub. Won't be going 100mph. You'd have a fun ride and way simpler to get it done.

All good suggestions, thank you all! If I get this beast together I’ll be sure to send pics and vids!

Sounds simple, but those are wide motors.

Here's one, just needs gas. Almost looks too good to be true. Although Ali has always solved any issues I've ever had with suppliers not coming through.

I'm under the impression that those get holed up in customs after 40 days on a container ship.

More than likely you would end up with your money back after 90 days.
