Kinda curious to see how this works out. I had intended to convert one of my bikes to have one of these set ups long ago and ended up selling the bike before i could. Still kinda want to build one or do an Ebike conversion.

I would have gone with an electric bike but I'll be using it in remote areas with no way to charge it.
The bike is done with the exception of a good quality chain on order. Mounting an engine on a bicycle is always a bit iffy but it works if done right. I'll post a pic when I have time. In addition to the $160 kit I bought a $33 Regina chain and a $50 CNC hub adaptor to replace the "rag joint" sprocket mount that came with the kit. |

On the other hand, I've probably saved thousands in therapy for them by not having one. ![]()

Didn't buy, but I now have a second MIG welder. My brother bought a larger unit and gave this one to our Dad. Even though Dad has been given the okay to use a small unit with his Pacemaker, he has opted for 'Discretion' and passed it on to me. I'm not sure of the brand but my brother doesn't buy cheap stuff.

Yea its that joint adapter that had me iffy of these kits before. At one point i did find a sprocket that was intended to bolt up to a hub on a disk brake wheel. The bike i was gonna convert did have said wheels on it from a different bike. How did the CNC adapter work in terms of mounting?

A pair of alignment tools came up at a local auction (that I need to stay away from). Sweet deal though. $30 for the pair. They were sold as "open box" but it all looks brand new. Here's me slapping one incorrectly onto a wheel just to make sure the bits are all there and working.

I located an unobtanium part for the 2004 Victory. Very lucky to have found someone with one to sell. parts for the older Victory's are getting very hard to come by. :(
ignition coil.....

Finally got around to getting a new battery for the big ATV. Also, new plugs for the zero turn mower. I was supposed to swap those out at 100 hours. At 145 hours, they said, "No more".
Last one is more of a whim thing. Some of the Ducati Energeria ignition parts for the carbed Urals are getting harder to find. I found a complete NOS points plate unit with the mechanical advance on the Bay of Evil. If worse comes to worse, a Harley coil along with the retro fit and I'll be golden. I have drawings for a plate to use GM points, which I'd prefer, but I still need that mechanical advance to make it work.

Bought a 15' Aluminum Jon Boat Saturday. And in the true Chinariders spirit, i ordered a Chinese outboard. lol This is a copy of a Yamaha 15HP 2 stroke. Parts are interchangeable and for a fraction of the price of a new out board. I've watch a bunch of video's on the 18HP. It's a very reliable engine just like the old Hawk. lol https://amzn.to/3xkrGtb
