well after my lawnmower breaking a axle and me tired of fixing it i bought a new mower
so now what to do with the old one?
hmmm mower engine still runs... beach cruiser bike sitting here saying please build me...
still thinking
tools come in place.... still thinking
g/f says scrap the mower...
that's it!!! time to slice n dice this mower and build my first motorized bike
i have stripped the mower entirely and removed the carb as i intend on swapping it out
so heres the motor as we speak
rear sprocket bolted to blade drive works as a good front sprocket
old handlebars cut into a exhaust pipe
and voila! a start on a cool build
m gonna be looking into a carb that's bigger as well as swapping he clutch setup as this one keeps engaged unless i shut the motor off so im looking to see if i can swap it for a different setup
which bike to use im gearing towards this 1987 rally sandpiper
this is my other but these are played out as motorized plus this ones junk
pfft muffler yeah im gonna put that right on
im gonna be doing an oil pan relocation as well as gas tank swapped with a real one
picked up this speedo from kingfish254 a bit ago in a trade and gonna use it and the dash panel also from kingfish254 awhile back to build a dashboard and a place to hang the pull cord when its running
this is a good chance to test my welding and fab skills as m gonna have to make alot of parts
thanks for looking
