Miss Megan's Motoredbike

It's a GT Kustom Kruiser Duece. It's really MINE, but i'll let megan THINK its hers, haha.
chopper forks, 3" wide rear tire. Ape-hangers. Got most of it complete except mounted rear sprocket. just using spare parts here and there. megan is confused by coaster brakes...something about pedaling backwards to stop, she has trouble comprehending:rolleyes:. so the only way to use handbrakes on front was to put them on the backside of the neck, and let the pads rub right on the tire. it'll chew them up faster, but i can get the pads for free.
i'd like to keep the wide tire, but if the chain wont clear with just one extra spacer, i'll havbe to go to reg. width tire. i dont wanna run into vibration probs.

PHEW!:sick: all done:p This was a 10minute here, 10minute there-thing.
I went with a 39tooth sprocket. My guess WAS right, that that would be the right combo for torque and decent speed. Less pedaling, and she doesnt really need to be burning up tucson at 38+mph :rolleyes:. No vibration, or other 'funky' stuff. I DID end up using 3 spacers for chain to clear the tire.
Still have to notch rear fender and slap it back on.
Each time i look at it, the same thing comes to mind...that bike NEEDS a full-sized cycle tank :devilish::devilish:

Nice job!!! I love the handle bars and flames on the seat.... Now I gotta clean out my garage so I can get started on my bike!
 
So what does Miss Megan think of it?

thanks, guys.:cool:
she really likes it. "my bike's cooler than yours" is something i hear daily. :rolleyes:
trying to teach someone, who cant drive manual tranny, the clutch/gas/brake combo deal is frustrating:-/. but she IS learning, and gets better each time.:)
