dude, looking good! i like it, looks like you got a little stance change there. i think the wind up spring is cool! keep it!

so is the motor shot?

Yeah, about 1.75 " on the rake. I am going to fab up or buy an extension to set the Motor and trans back and down a bit.I don`t know if the motor is shot, but there is something causing the winder to stick . Basically, I want to go to an electric start .

Looks good like that although the seat looks like it would be a ballbuster.

[ncredleg]

;D Yep! Gotta order another one or mod one from a Schwinn Stingray.Both are hard as heck to find though.

Update and pics please.

Am debating power train. I can I either use a GY6 based one that incorporates the 150cc for a kart with a sprocket so that I can utilize a spoked 16" wheel(Will not work,did`nt think it through. ).Or build a swing arm assembly that incorporates a Lifan 125 cc engine similar to a moped setup without the pedals. Either way I will have to build a swing arm assembly.Nope

Ordered some Aprilia rims, once I get those I will be able to determine what engine to get.Found them online from a motorcycle place, AF1 Racing.

that will be hot when your done, i was thinking too bad you could'nt use a stingray back tire on it , i have an oc chopper type sitting in my attic aging for my grand kid, but by then the kids will have some rocket powered bike and he will be laughed at for pedaling haha

Bought new forks for it.They came off a CR125 I think, not sure .I was a little concerned about the ones I had fabricated.I was unable to determine how to remove the fork legs so that I could change the oil and weld a brake bracket on it . If anyone knows how to do that ,let me know .
I would like to complete them , just because.Russ

Here are the new forks, I think they will be strong enough,Huh?

Needed to add that the new rims are for a GY6 style engine , so that is the type I will be installing.I found a nice 2T 90cc www.partsforscooters.com/90cc-2-stroke-1PE40QMB-Engine#www.partsforscooters.com/core/media/media.nl?id=18351&c=ACCT120207&h=fb69131a5f1e338f5707

Got a little bit of a problem with the rims that I bought.Was changing the rear tire on my Bashan and thought,What the heck let`s see what the new rims look like on it.
Simply put, the rim will not fit the GY6 on the Bashan,ID too small.I really need to know what the axle shaft dimensions are on a motor before I purchase one.Limits my options to just the Minarelli engine.
