I used my motorized bike as an everyday ride for light shopping, work, and just bumming around town. In about 3 months of riding time I racked up well over 1,000 miles with no problem at all.

That black bike looks deadly with those coaster brakes
-
You should probably use a fuel filter

Ordered the parts for my first Bulid today and I can’t wait to start working on it hope it turns out like this some day great build man 👍

Hi Ray, the engine is actually quite quiet. My fiancé and I tested it. She put hunting ear plugs in (32 decibels) and couldn't hear it while standing right next to it. I live in a very quiet neighborhood as well, so I know how you feel. The bike is so quiet that it really doesn't disturb anyone. I can listen to head phones and not even go up to the high volume levels to hear it. To answer your other question regarding the electric bikes; yes I have tried them. They are completely silent, however, I still prefer my motorized bike because the little bit of sound that does come from it helps me know how healthy the bike is. Electric bikes can break down and not give you warning signs before it happens. Motorized bikes sound awesome and really allow you to understand the health of the bike.

thank you so much buddy for making these videoes. It help me as I am sure it help alot of others! Plus great bike!
-
That's a beautiful bike, man. Great job :D
-
kinda surprised that you didnt post a link in the description to the exact type of engine kit you bought and used in this video!
-
Basically an updated version of the fist motorcycle
-
great video and looking good after 1000 miles

I’d try to remedy that front spring issue with a bushing. That way it could be periodically changed which would stop it from ruining the front frame.
-
Good review, great info.
-
I use a 28" wheel in the same springer fork, kinda the same frame, and a calliper brake actually works pretty good with that setup. Also 28" wheels get you a little bit more speed on the top end.
-
i built a fender mount that replaces the bars and supports a headlamp. no matter how hard i dug i couldn't find a way around getting a wheel hub with the disk mounts, i did find a very cool rear wheel hub that has a drum brake!
-
For your fork problem, make a pilot bushing for it. Any front fork that will allow the use of a disc brake will have a larger neck diameter than the one you have. An old pincher type brake can easily be fitted to the front or rear wheel, as all that is required is a single hole in a crossmember.

You maintained that motorized bicycle real nicely. :0
-
I don't if it has been mentioned or if it already has one. But a heavy duty bushing might stop the wear on the bolt and the fork assembly it would wear the bushing out first..
-
I like the way you are detached from the bike and gave the full story. It looks good, if i were to splurge i might try to make the blacks match in gloss and color and maybe paint the mudflaps babe up on the tank so she can catch some Minnesota rays.

nice 4 stroke dude. Just put on my 2 stroke motor and I absolutely love it. Then come to find out they make 4stroke motor kits! Guess it's time to get one

Wear on front fork spring can be compensated for with sleeves on center bolt.
