Thinking of building a four stroke this summer.

[GW's Motorized]

I'm considering building a four stroke this summer. I want to build it on a classic frame, or something that looks similar. It won't be a fas bike because I want to use my old Briggs model 5s and just make a cool patina motor bike.

I was wondering if you guys could give me links to some parts I would need.

5s makes a great Motorbike build, It was commonly used in the 60s to build Motorbikes because it's small and light weight

If you can get a USA vintage bike from the 60s to mount that 5s on, your gonna have a very nice vintage Motorbike

Do you have a welder?

GW can you get a pic of the engine you are going to use? Particularly the crankshaft side of the engine. That way we can see what type of drive clutch/ torque convertor possibilities you may want to use on your build.

Maybe this helps? Its a 1976 model 8 in a late Schwinn Delmar frame fits nicely, plenty of room.

Yes I have a welder.

I don't have any pictures on my phone, but I can post some as soon as I get home.

If you can save up the sportsman frames would work well. https://sportsmanflyer.com/shop/bicycles/board-track-racer-pedal-bicycle/

I might get crucified for this, but I don't like the looks of those frames, they just aren't for me. I prefer the look of a cruiser frame.

Does @DAMIEN1307 know if a Briggs flathead engine would fit in a hyper cruiser bike?
