That looks like a cool little bike. I like the suspension. If that were mine I would try and throw a small briggs or something in there. From your pics I cant really see if you had place for a jackshaft, or if the back wheel has a sprocket. Take some pics of the bike from the other side.

You have also got a mechanical brake caliper there. I have one myself, and they work well. They are easily adjustable

:ack2::eek:What happened to that poor thing!! We know you didn't do it, you said you got it for free. Judging by the looks, maybe they should have paid you to take it off their hands!!! Ouch!!:angelsad2:

When I first saw that I thought- WTF is that! But if you were to clean up and paint, and put a briggs or clone in that it would be quite good! And if you could find a fake tank.

What is with the fake two cylinder engine on the link? It looks soo bad having the fake engine then the 49cc!

You have a mini-chopper. The thing was stripped down. I have one that exactly the same as that one.

That chopper had lights to make it street-legal, speedometer, gas meter, light indicator, couuld reach 75mph-80mph, battery, and few other stuff.

Last year I got one of those for ten bucks out of the scrap yard.

I put a Harbor Freight 2.5 HP engine on it with a jack shaft. My bike came with no rear tire, so I put a wheel and tire on from one of the online go kart stores. I used #40 chain and a jack shaft. The bike went about 20 mph.
