I used to live at the beach and had an old dusty Del Mar laying around ever since I moved to a dirt road out in the country. First time putting a motor on a bicycle. Your typical all the chinese parts crap out and potmetal is no good scenario, but I think I have her pretty reliable and it's a fun ride.......as long as I don't attempt to jump on the rear pegs and ride a wheelie at 30 mph anymore that is 
Had to cut the front fender to fit the caliper brake, that made it floppy so I welded a strip of metal underneath it. fit the standard stem headlight mount for use as a bracket over the springer's spring. Bent some gas tank mounting hardware to float the light under the banana seat. Used an old ape hanger that was damaged to extend my header and add about a 2 ft section of pipe to the sbp expansion chamber kit......stock was all up in the way of everything....extended looks better to me and it idles like a school bus lol. I used engine enamel and it holds up pretty well, except for a stress crack in the gas tank which dumped gas on some of it and I had to do some touch-up.......flying down dirt roads on it is fun, but it gets dirty very fast. Let me know what yall think
