Here in 10-O-C, Swamp Thing out on the road! Ran ok but geared way too low for the street. Have to look at sprocket options

Front sprocket is the cheapest way to mod. With your report "way too low" I'd go 2 teeth up in the front

Yeah, from what I've read two teeth seems to work.
Way too low = 1st is not needed, I can start out in 2nd just fine. Now if I was riding hills off road a lot it would be great, but have to be realistic. 80/20 road/dirt is what I'll be doing.

Typical CB. Geared to climb straight up a telephone pole. 1st is good for trials riding, that's about it.
Bike looks great!

Yeah it really is, reminds me of a granny gear on my friends ford F150. Thanks but the picture hide her flaws but I don't care. I'm just happy to be on two wheels again. Considering what I have put into it and what it's actually worth I'll have my Asian side piece until she dies or I do haha.

Seriously though what a good little bike, to run as good as it does after how bad it was treated before I started spoiling it says a lot about the so called poor quality of these bikes.

In its native habitat...the pump

Glad your enjoying it. We we all get a kick off these little scoots.

Yes, those bikes came with 15t - 55t sprockets. 1st gear hits redline in 4 feet. Most change out to 17t - 45t or 46t.

Yeah, with that tiny tank that sure is the truth. Going to look at upgrading to a larger one over the winter. Just have to find something close to how it mounts.

Yeah, the faster you go, the faster it (fuel) goes
