New old guy

[BruceBanner1983]

Not that old, only 40. But I was into motorized bikes, got out of them about 7 years ago, tried motorcycles but unfortunately had a run of bad luck buying bikes in bad condition and my last motorcycle became a never ending project. I have young kids and I’d rather be spending time with them than constantly tinkering with a 40 year old bike. So I’ve decided to get back into motorized bicycles, and I am planning a build with a 212cc and the 30 series juggernaut asymmetrical cvt from gopowersports, Suzuki k10 forks and a custom lighting system which includes headlight, tail light, turn signals, charging coil, battery and fuse box, which I will be designing and installing myself. I did a similar setup on a similar bike I was building about 7 years ago and never got to finish.

Can't wait to see it! What frame do you plan on using?

I believe it’s a Schwinn cantilever. The wheels will also be heavy duty to handle the pull of that monster motor (monster for a bicycle anyway). Yes the idea I am basically going for is a mopedorcycle lol. It’s going to look more like a motorcycle than anything when I’m done.

My bike looks alot like a motorcycle. I think it has a nice balance.

I like it. Looks like something I’d have built back in the day. I had one with a 2 gallon tank off a three wheeler and a single pannier on the back lol. Good times, brings back memories.

Welcom to the gang Bruce. Sounds like you know what you're doin', but we don't believe you 'till we see the pictures.

It might be a bit till pics start happening lol. I work Tuesday through Saturday and get my kids on the weekend, but I drop them off for school Monday morning, so Mondays are gonna be the best day for me to work on the bike.
