Hello again everyone, it has been awhile since I was here.
I was just a rookie builder when I started here back in 2010, not so much so now ;-}
Just a little bit about my builds and my KC's Kruisers Motorized Bike Building and Repair business in Phoenix, AZ.
I moved into a bigger house with a nice big fully enclosed, carpeted and air conditioned back room with a huge sliding glass door and a 1/4 acre backyard parking lot for my bike building and repair shop and office.
If you are looking for a quality build, upgrade or repair in the Phoenix area I'm your guy if you are looking for quality workmanship and most parts on hand.
Sorry, I don't sell kits, just fully completed bikes and some odds and ends parts like spark plugs, gas caps and exhaust pipe.
If you are looking for a quality jackshafted SHIFTER bike I am your guy no matter where you live.
As of this topic date I have about a dozen shifter builds under my belt including my personal ride and they are all still on the road, there is another being built on the shop floor now and I have a 4-stroke shifter kit to put on my next personal ride.
That will be my first 4-stroke shifter built but I have jackshafted most everything 2-stroke from a simple 3-speed internal like this:
To 7-speed derailleurs like these:
To downright exotic NuVinci high performance works of art like these:
OK, maybe not works of art, and after riding my bike with a NuVinci for 100 miles I don't like them and don't trust them, I have seen 2 fail with a hi power 2-stroke motor.
They may hold up well with a 49cc 4-stroke, but I found the seemingly constant turning of the shift control both annoying and uncomfortable.
Even a 7-speed shifters seems like too much shifting work unless you get the knack of treating it like a 3 or 4 speed for my riding pleasure.
Personally I like the gear range and ease of an internal 3-speed, if you have the motor for it.
I am not talking a Morini or anything, a newer 66cc Skyhawk or 48cc with an expansion chamber will power you past 1st into 2nd like a rocket, and that will handle most of your normal driving, but it can still carry you up into the 3rd gear, overdrive craziness if you have the power to beat the wind and a bike that handle the speed.
Visit my web site and look around if you are interested in buying a nice custom built shifter just for you and we can talk.
I have a Contact form there and a lot of useful info in my BIKE FAQ section.
Ride on but ride safe, wear a helmet and turn on a front blinking light in daylight.
A good enough front blinking light in daylight traffic and you may never have to see how well the helmet works ;-}
