Motorized klunker

[jacob9795]

I’m starting out with a drawing then I’ll find the parts to build it. I have an 80cc motor, we’ll see how this works out. Nothing fancy here, just something fun to ride.

 

[bricycle]

what size frame/wheels? I may have some stuff you can use...

 

[Cooper S.]

Using a zeppelin frame?

 

[jacob9795]

26"
Yes, zeppelin frame,
monark fork
motorbike stem
huffy hoops,
prewar messinger mens saddle
sturmey archer forebrake from the 1950s columbia
Schwinn brake levers
long torrington bars, I think they're 28''
Torrington 10 repop pedals
The fuel tank, I'm not sure, the newer ones are kind of small, I think they're half gallon; something like a whizzer tank might look better, we'll see what turns up.

I'm not sure about the chain pitch, 1'' or 1/2'', I'd like to put a nexus 3-spd hub on the bike but it doesn't make sense if I have to ride around with the clutch disengaged, I'd have to pull on the brake lever. I''ll probable lace a model D to this thing and keep 1'' pitch so I can save the old chainwheel for a better look I guess

What is that under the Seat? No need for an oil tank on the newer 2 stroke motorized bike kits. Love that you are using the zep style frame. Find an OLD sportster peanut tank.

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

How many of the parts do you have and how soon would you like to be riding this creation? There's an old motorcycle scrapyard here that I apparently need an excuse to check out. I could swing by on a nice day and look around, take some pics of stuff that might work and look good!
(It just may be a bit before we thaw out good enough from a big storm we got a week and a half ago.)

Good excuse for a ride too!

Just a leather tool bag
