Well after reading posts on this forum for well over a year I have made the decision to go with Helmutt cycles for my first motorized bike. I'm a big fan of Electra bikes. They just make a high quality bike that fits me perfectly. I hate 2 strokes, rode them as a kid until the big 4 stroke motorcycles came out. So with that, I was after the best 4 stroke kit out there with the best drive train. That combo isn't cheap!! The bike was going to be around $2000.00 when complete and I had to build it. That being said I'm glad I talked with Quentin about motors. He referred me to Richard at Helmutt cycles and then I saw the bike of my dreams. Reliability with the look of an nostalgia. Then I saw the price, ouch!!!! I then researched it and thought I can get the frame kit and a old whizzer and do the frame conversion myself. Well the math didn't add up to my liking, so I called Richard and asked where to send the money. I own www.carbonbydersign.com and manufacture high quality carbon fiber composites. The build will be called the "Carbon Cafe" There will be a mirage of carbon fiber on the bike. I will post pics as well as Richard when the bike gets further along.
