Well i am basically done with my bike but after going to ride it, i realized that the gearing is way too high. i have to pedal to about 15 mph before starting the engine, then it barely works good. i need to get a bigger sprocket for the back wheel but the only place that i have found to get one big enough is kings sales and service. i need about a 65 to 70 tooth sprocket and at kings it is going to cost 67 bucks plus 13 bucks shipping, so 80 bucks for the sprocket. well considering im not going to use this as a daily driver (its just going to be once or twice a week, that is a little too expensive. also i bought the weedeater off of craigslist for 40 bucks, so i would hate to pay twice as much for the sprocket as i did for the engine. well anyways, i cant make up my mind if i want to pay the 80 bucks for the sprocket and have it on a 23cc weedeater, which i know isn't very big but i only weigh 140 lbs and its served its purpose cause i have learned alot about small engines by tinkering with it, or just buy a kit for 230 from dax and be done with it. i just dont know what to do. 230 is kindof alot for me too but it would be new, i dont have a clue how much the weedeater was used. well thanks for listening to me ramble. heres a picture of the bike so far. oh and also if i do buy a kit, i will also have to buy a bike off of craigslist or somewhere because this one couldn't be frame mounted because of the suspension.
