    Microshift Rapid Fire Shifter for Nexus 3

    Love the stem! That's one of the companies that I ride for. So perfect for rat rods, cruisers, etc.

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    That's awesome! You gotta be creative when mounting fenders to these forks, that's for sure!

    gas engines

    Absolutely not legal on the roadways there, but sounds killer to say the least! http://www.dmv.org/mn-minnesota/other-types.php This link should help.

    gas engines

    Friction drive (no offense) are horrible! Not to mention, are illegal almost everywhere. Mostly though, they are hard on the bike, tires, and wheel itself. The 4 stroke engines are more powerful, and don't require you to mix your own gas, but are a lot more involved as far as maintenance, and...

    One more tip....... Do not mount it flush with the front fork. I forgot about topout. Giver it about 1/8" of room at least. It might not look as clean, but will be a little quieter scooting down the road.

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    Front fork = bad idea! So after all of my tinkering around, and messing with different options, I have found that the BEST way to mount a full fender on this fork is this: Fab up an extension for the middle mount on your fender, and mount to the rear fork. If using the mounting threaded hole...

    I'm not exactly understanding the question. Are you wanting to go 2 stroke, or 4 stroke?

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    Honestly, not that much. I am going to try this out, and see how it goes. I did some tinkering, and made a quick trip to the hardware store. I bought two 5m .8 x 1" bolts, and two half inch thick washers/spacers to match. I stole a bracer from a 29" fender for the front section of me fender. It...

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    Just did some checking, and if you use the hole on the front fork, the mount for the braces on the back fork...... Well, probably shouldn't be done anyway since the two forks move up and down from each other which could be a problem. At any rate, the braces would need to be very small. I checked...

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    I have a full fender I want to put on, and so far I am unsure of the braces I should be using for it. I'll do some experimenting with what I have lying around to see if I can't determine the length. I am also running a disc brake, and think that may get in the way of where the brace needs to...

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    It's listed in just about every motorized bike parts/sales website. Other than that, I see that they are hard to find other than Amazon, and the occasional Ebay listing. For example: http://www.pistonbikes.com/category-s/37.htm

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    I bought this fork a while back, and it's awesome! I run motorized, commute daily, and it takes railroad tracks, potholes, sewer caps, etc., like a champ with zero issues. I had the thinner version, and it only lasted a month. I've had this one nearly three, and it's in the same shape as when I...
