Welcome Dixiedevil!

You will probably have more luck if you ask questions in the "tech" section or the "General questions" area.

There are a couple of bikes here I think, with a briggs type engine.
 
Where in Bama?

Come on up and test ride a 25 cc GEBE, I'm putting on a 35 for a guy in B'ham next monday.

I'm in Cullman Co, next to the Mulberry River.
 
I live in Birmingham, and go to UAB ... im trying to do this with the least money spent..... got the bike got the know(sort a) need n engine and ill go from there...
 
dixiedevil, my dreambike would have a B & S 5-hp minibike engine, old school, centrifugal clutch/belt drive.

it's gonna be cool to see what you come up with, welcome to MBc 8)

I gave B'ham/Jeff Co a 4 day ride-about last July, over the Mtn twice via Mtn Brook/Green Springs/Alford/Bluff Park....

Anyway, happy to help.
 
i want to put what ever i can get my hands on on the stingray but i want it fast and able to go up hill with ease... are those bike made out of aluminum or are they steel cuz all i have is a MIG welder(non gas)but im pretty good at it.. i can make some fram adjustments but if i caqn get a 5hp BS engine what else am i gonan need to find...???
 
good news... and nevermind... im getting a free 80cc moped kit from a friend thing is brand new... Im so stoked. but got to wait till he gets back in town to go get it.....
 
new from AL

whats up every one. im new here and finally starting on my project involving a stingray chopper and a 200c carter motor.. suprisingly that fits snuggly in the gap...Im presently stuck on a few issues. mainly the brake and electrical situation. THe brake is the most important i trying to figur eout what is the best route for me in that would it be cheaper to buy the hub and the disc kit and do it myself. which i odnt htink would be a problem or for $180-200 (kit&installation) the bike shop down the street will do it... im basically trying to save money here... Im htinking i will just get the guys down the street to do it but i mean Suggestions are mroe than welcome
