This is a build I had finished a while ago. I had used a Starfire Super Rat GT5 engine. (Not many super rats imported) I also used Harley Sportster fuel tank. Won't need to stop for fuel often with that 2.2 gal. tank! I also had tried something different with rear disc brakes. (disc brakes standard on Spoiler) Since I needed a rear drive sprocket as well I decided to use rear sprocket for brake disc as well. I used a 36 tooth front crank sprocket that was flat & drilled my own holes for mounting to wheel. relocated rear caliper lower so it wouldn't interfere with drive chain. (as seen in pic) Brakes worked as good as always. Just had to be very careful if lubed chain. Brake rotors don't work well if lubed as well! lol. It turned out to be a fun bike to ride. Chain & engine alignment couldn't have worked out better. I thought I would post this & share some ideas if anyone had plans on a Schwinn Spoiler build. Thanks, Dan

Hello, I recently got my hands on a schwinn spoiler. I have been wanting this bike for a very long time. I also want to put a gas motor on it but i am having a difficult time trying to figure out how to run the chain from the motor to the back wheel without having to get rid of the rear brakes. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Mine is for sale
This is a Street Legal One-of-a-Kind Florida registered moped. The Indian Larry Tribute Schwinn Spoiler. Morini Franco 6.5 hp powered engine with racing reed modification. Stainless Steel Exhaust built to exact Morini specifications for this motor. The drive train rubber isolated and direct with an eccentric bearing allowing easy chain adjustment. The Harley Davidson Peanut Tank holds 2 gallons of fuel and has the standard petcock with reserve feature.
The braking is achieved with standard go kart hydraulic brake cylinders equipped with micro switches for brake lights. The front and real calipers are a floating design making adjustments unnecessary and allowing for self adjustment for lateral bearing movement.
The electrical system centers around a front wheel sealed bearing SRAM I light hub dynamo. It produces 6 volts to power the lighting system. The lights are from Peter White Lighting. The front headlight a modified Headwinds Custom Motorcycle has been adapted for the Halogen Headlight and the Led low beam. The low beam is capacitor charged so it remains on for 7 minutes even when the bike is not moving. The tail /brake light works the same way with a small battery pack for the brake light under the seat.
The rear wheel is double walled and a premium 4.5 x 20 tire is mounted. The front wheel is a Surly Mountain Bike Large Marge wheel with custom spokes and mounts. The tire is a King Wheel 24/3.00.
The frame and fenders are custom pinstriped by Ol’skool Striper Al Battista. It features the Indian Larry theme. The handle bars are from England and their risers are custom motorcycle builder Paul Yaffe. A faux Suicide Shifter is mounted with an 1890 NYC School Door Knob as the shift knob. Saddle bags are mounted and the chrome Ol’skool Sissy Bar mounted as well. The seat has the Indian Larry motif and was custom made by Asscessories of Naples Florida. Chrome Handlebar Grips, Chopper Mirrors and emblems compliment the theme.
