80cc Huffy Nel Lusso

[dh]

I'm starting an 80cc beach cruiser project. Any tips on these 2 stroke engine kits or huffy beach cruisers would be appreciated. So far just getting a bike and engine kit have been a pain. Walmart can't keep bikes in stock here, people are actually hawking them on Offerup and Facebook. I placed an order for a Huffy Nel Lusso over a week ago from Walmart.com and finally shipped yesterday and should be delivered today or tomorrow.

Ordering the 2 stroke engine kit was tough. Amazon and others won't ship them to the peoples republic of California. I was able to find an ebay seller who would ship one here and I got the kit last week.

I keep reading that the weak point on the Huffy beach cruiser is the wheelbearings and coaster brake so I plan to grease the hubs and loctite the entire project. The chain tensioner on these bike kits look sketchy.

I'm thinking about ordering a springer front fork from Bikeberry, not sure if anyone has experience with these. They would give the bike a classic look and better ride, but are they safe at 30-40 mph? I'll post pics of the bike, kit, and inspiration (1911 Indian Single).
