Sorry guys, I didn't get any emails saying that I had replies to this thread so I assumed it died!
I really, really appreciate all of your help!
So, does anyone think that I should consider, actually, a different 4-stroke kit? I don't mind paying for quality, and again, my budget now is around 5 to 600 dollars to start, and a little more down the road for miscellaneous things. I want something that's gonna' get me around every day, and not be constantly breaking down. It'll be a mode of transportation, not a side project.
I know I basically keep saying the same things, but I just want to do this right.
Has anyone ever seen, or personally put on themselves, a 4-stroke kit on a Raleigh M40? Saw a nice looking one the other day at my local used bike shop. I have yet to do the cut-out thing to see if it'll fit, but I will definitely be doing that soon, very great advice.
EDIT: Hm... now that I am looking at pictures of the M40 online, the frame gap seems a little small, but I swear I remember it being reasonably big.
Another EDIT: When I saw the M40 at this bike shop, I got there 5 minutes before close, so I didn't get to see even a fraction of their stock. They have tons of bikes in all sizes and types. Does anyone have any suggestions for types of bikes to ask them if they have?
