LoL!!! That's pretty dang funny! I'll have to remember that line for sure!


Yep, solid advice too! Vibrate so bad that it will crack/break mounts, frame, vibrate bolts out, not to mention vibrate your hands till they're numb... Not worth the build IMHO. Find an old tecate 3 wheeler and stuff the motor there.... that'd be a fun ride!
Better yet, put a paddle on the bike, and hang on for dear life!

i already had that in mind . i know all about the vibration issues. loctite will be my friend.but this might come together for me pretty cheaply and i have a family member who can weld and fabricate very well. i did some measurements the motor looks like it should have no clearance issues, so i was hoping i could see some pictures of this transplant done. if anyone has some ,please postthem in your pics or e mail them to me.
