2019-05-23 23:30:19 UTC  

wish i still had the bike i had in jhs..it got stolen

2019-05-23 23:30:37 UTC  

It's ok , I enjoy this shtuff

2019-05-23 23:30:47 UTC  

no motor but was nice chopper style...even with banana seat and sissy bar

2019-05-23 23:31:00 UTC  

and 5 speed stick shifter

2019-05-23 23:31:14 UTC  

It was called the banana peeler

2019-05-23 23:31:23 UTC  

and rocket launchers(no, i'm not kidding)

2019-05-23 23:31:35 UTC

2019-05-23 23:32:04 UTC  

so u want to make a motor bike from that frame..

2019-05-23 23:32:16 UTC  

as you can see theres plenty of room in the center for the engine and fuel tank to be mounted adjecent to eachother

2019-05-23 23:32:57 UTC  

it's a single speed bike so all i require is decent brakes and a freewheeling clutch

2019-05-23 23:32:57 UTC  

2019-05-23 23:33:36 UTC  

easier to convert a 10-speed to it..the wide sprocket on the back wheel could handle the torque better

2019-05-23 23:34:24 UTC  

i bought mine straight from columbia bikes, they still make the older models,

2019-05-23 23:34:39 UTC  

theres a 1936 model they sell as well

2019-05-23 23:34:52 UTC  

all authentic period correct designs

2019-05-23 23:34:52 UTC  

@John of Arc the back support bar was 6ft high on mine

2019-05-23 23:36:20 UTC  

Dang, so the hood thots wouldn't fall off, lol

2019-05-23 23:37:05 UTC  

yep

2019-05-23 23:37:08 UTC  

they are really damn expensive though, the 52 i got i think was almost 200 maybe 300 bucks

2019-05-23 23:37:20 UTC  

and the rockets kept the other players at bay

2019-05-23 23:37:31 UTC  

some states have a 50cc limit. over has to be titled and tagged

2019-05-23 23:37:53 UTC  

yeah, i'm planning to get a class M liscense

2019-05-23 23:37:59 UTC  

it's the whole kit

2019-05-23 23:38:39 UTC  

under 49cc you don't need a license

2019-05-23 23:38:39 UTC  

a briggs and stratton motor will give the bike the power and experience i want in a motorized bike

2019-05-23 23:39:05 UTC  

and most certainly exceeds the guidelines in missouri law

2019-05-23 23:39:22 UTC  

here in missouri limit is 50 cc

2019-05-23 23:39:27 UTC  

it used to be 80 cc

2019-05-23 23:39:51 UTC  

in my opinion modified bikes should be exempt

2019-05-23 23:40:23 UTC  

if you are gonna build one then you obviously already know how you are gonna ride it

2019-05-23 23:40:41 UTC  

The problem is Carburation, there is no power circuit on brigs engines. they are designed to run constant rpm

2019-05-23 23:42:09 UTC  

so i need a carburetor? ok, those are fairly easy to work with,

2019-05-23 23:42:43 UTC  

it's the sprag clutch most of those bikes use

2019-05-23 23:43:02 UTC  

yeah, i figured i'd need to get a new clutch

2019-05-23 23:43:15 UTC  

no idle circuit, no power circuit on the carb

2019-05-23 23:43:36 UTC  

which is why i tlought about a freewheeling clutch

2019-05-23 23:44:17 UTC  

freewheeling clutch, how does it engage?
