Hey Group!
I just ordered a 80cc kit from ebay, and I can already tell this site is going to be an invaluable asset to the construction of my bike!
I have several reasons for wanting to do this little project, but mostly cause it will be fun! Also fuel economy, etc....
On that note, I have several old abandoned bikes (cruisers and mtn bikes) at my disposal, does any of them seem more efficient/faster than the other? I'm guessing lighter is better and that tires on cruisers allow for a little less drag and more speed.
My idea is to build a rat bike, I don't really like the plain old tanks that come on them. I'm going to try to use an old glass Jack Daniels bottle as a tank and see how that works...I'll post in the appropriate forums about that to see if I get any responses.
thanks!
