haha that's awesome. Where'd you pick up the engine? Are you just figuring it all out yourself, or are you following a guide of sorts.

theres kits out there for around 125 for the 66-68 engines but are ofter called 80cc due to eastern measurements? they are made to bolt up pretty easily

I've got an old wal-mart bike that I don't use now that I have my Trek. That could be a lot of fun. I also have a weed eater engine sitting around. post some links of what you've found to be helpful please!

I just got the engine on. Theres a bit more to do. The way the stock sprocket mounts to the wheel is cheezy. I just ordered clamshell mount that won't put any stress on the spokes like the stock one.

kind of like balanced. You tighten and loosen the spokes until the rim doesn't sway vertically or horizontally.
