Vintage style homebuilt B&S retro cruiser

[cruisinkruty]

Hope you guys enjoy this puppy. It has a cast iron Block Briggs and Stratton kick start washing machine engine coupled to a Peerless lawn and garden tractor transmission. A home built retro style frame. The guy who built this is a flippin genius!

I love it - the only thing I would say is there is a little too much play in those cables for my liking - get them caught in something and its either goodbye rider or goodbye controls - not a good combination

otherwise - how much would he charge for another one lol

Sweet! I love the color!

 

[vintagebiker]

Yeah, cool.

Just change those forks to an old style looking springer (not the Schwinn type) and it would look really neat.

 

[HoughMade]

That is a great looking machine...but aren't those old washing machine engines 1/2 to 3/4 hp?

Yes they are. Say have any details, spec.s, etc. on that transmission?

I would imagine that the Peerless gearbox is like this one.......

This one is a Peerless Transmission 700-070A and it's a 5 speed gearbox.

I think that green motorcycle is a stunning piece of work, the proportions are absolutely spot-on and everytime I look at the picture it whispers, 'Ride me, ride me...'
