Time to start getting the build documented.  Just a few pics of the frame mods so far. Have to get more DL'd from the camera soon.

First, the stock factory bike, a used walmart roadmaster cheapy

How it started out

 

The top tube was too low for the engine to mount with the carb installed, so the next two are during and immediately after the frame chop and channel.

Top tube removed

 

Repositioned

 

Pain in the butt part came next, dressing down the welds and removing all the tacky decals  so it could be prepped for paint. Next pics will be of assembly, now that I'm about done taking the engine apart and pulling dimensions for future modifications.

Looking forward to seeing more of the build as it comes along ! Takes me back to when I first put mine together. I've suddenly got this itch to put another motorized bike together now smilies/tongue.gif
