i bought mine straight from columbia bikes, they still make the older models,
theres a 1936 model they sell as well
all authentic period correct designs
@John of Arc the back support bar was 6ft high on mine
Dang, so the hood thots wouldn't fall off, lol
yep
they are really damn expensive though, the 52 i got i think was almost 200 maybe 300 bucks
and the rockets kept the other players at bay
some states have a 50cc limit. over has to be titled and tagged
yeah, i'm planning to get a class M liscense
it's the whole kit
under 49cc you don't need a license
a briggs and stratton motor will give the bike the power and experience i want in a motorized bike
and most certainly exceeds the guidelines in missouri law
here in missouri limit is 50 cc
it used to be 80 cc
in my opinion modified bikes should be exempt
if you are gonna build one then you obviously already know how you are gonna ride it
The problem is Carburation, there is no power circuit on brigs engines. they are designed to run constant rpm
so i need a carburetor? ok, those are fairly easy to work with,
yeah, i figured i'd need to get a new clutch
no idle circuit, no power circuit on the carb
which is why i tlought about a freewheeling clutch
freewheeling clutch, how does it engage?
by pedalling
that is the sprag design clutch
when you put on the brakes it disengages from the pedals
but i need an adittional clutch to disengage from the power train as well
that is why i pointed you to the kits
so that when i brake it not only disengages from the pedals but from the chainbelt too
are there flathead 4 stroke engine kits then? @Bucko
ya the link i sent you
i like the simplicity and visual appeal of vintage flatheads
oh yeah i've seen these 4 stroke kits before, although the only issue i have is that they'll look fugly as heck on my vintage bike.
the 2 stroke kits are a maybe
the only beef i have with them is lack of power/speed, but their vintage appear is a definite 10/10
ya 2 stroke is a pain. 4 stroke is better
