welcome!
the bike looks good so far! what motor you planning on stuffing in there?
also, please do yourself a favor and ether ditch the fenders or reinforce them like i did, as there known to break off and seriously hurt people (first hand experience)
i used 1/4 corner bracing and then drilled out the frenders to match.

You're trying to tell me bicycle fenders aren't prepared for 35mph riding!? https://motoredbikes.com/threads/beware-the-fenders.20496/. Agreed. Luckily I am ordering my accessories with the engine in mind. My rear view mirrors belong on an ATV but they fit my handlebars without issue and this is my 4th or 5th rear view mirror and I think this is the one. Never until this pair did I have any problems adjusting the mirrors because it has a ball and socket joint prepared for this type of driving. Once I have the angle right I can set out on my ride without issues.

HELLO from Texas!!! I think one of the most important things I first learned was that rag joint and all those bolts for the rear sprocket are better fit for the trash. A rear hub adapter or mag wheel(s) are a better idea imo. The rear hub on many bikes(certainly and without a doubt, I am looking at you Huffy) can't handle the torque and the braking(coaster brake) that a motorized engine subjects it to. Oh, and if you do choose mag wheels do not ever use rim brakes with it.
Lastly, everybody will have THEIR best way of managing their bike and some of their ways are wrong. Always look for a second or 5th opinion.

I'm planning on 10 spoke mag seems theres a problem there for disc brakes for the rear so may step down from a bbr stage 4 racing 2 stroke unless just a front disc brake would be enough still gathing info fenders are a goner for sure.

This recent advice I received seems relevant. https://motorbicycling.com/threads/...sixthreezero-beach-cruiser.65973/#post-683171 My bike at the grocery store.

I won't have the disc brakes for another couple of weeks so keep me updated. I will be installing them on front wheel regardless but I am still curious what sort of braking solution I can use on my back wheel.
Who is or what is Bob?
