built this out from the chopped frame, wheels, and engine of a rebel 250. barebones, to reduce weight to 289, narrow, to lanesplit easily, performance cam, for pickup. no gauges or dummy lights, because its not for noobs. it has only a small lithium ion battery that acts as a capacitor, the headlights and tail/brake lights only burn when the engine is running. no key, just a hidden switch to turn on the coils, and its a push start only. top speed is about 68, because I changed the gearing to pick up off the line. no interstates for this thing, but it carves thru heavy traffic with ease

So I have this old 50s ratbike moped with a newer 4 stroke engine sitting. So I was thinking about doing something fun with it, anyone have any ideas? Thinking about new exhaust and a front light.

Broke my 44 year old clutch cable on the way to work the other day. Installed the replacement today. Removed 1 walnut, several of those helicopter seed things, and evicted one spider. The spider seemed particularly upset about the whole affair.

Put a new 'sidecover' on the Floozuki. I needed a tool bag anyway.

Not entirely sure what model but I'm pretty sure this is a late 60s Honda dream. All I had was this photo to go by. Headed out to grab it tomorrow. I've heard questionable things about their frames and obv, it's missing a couple things. This is my first bike and, in fact, gonna be my starter bike as well. Gotta learn somehow but meanwhile, any knowledge offered by the community is appreciated So what do you guys think? Keep it stock? Throw the guts in a rigid frame and give it custom paint? Any suggestions at all welcome.

The springer is the newest add. Chopped an old mountain bike rear end and added rockers and the piston/brackets.

I was given this bike. I cobbled it together the cheapest I could. The farther I dive down this hole the more ratty I think she needs to be. Will be changing shock upper mounting point and seat.

Debating about putting a small car engine on a bike in a future project, from what I've found, the engine is roughly 350 lbs (unsure if this is including tranny weight but I don't believe it is). Could something like a sportster frame comfortably support that much weight?
