this thing has bicycle sprockets on it haha, but we figure we’ll extend the swingarm, move the seat (it’s got shocks on it too so might have to make it a hardtail) put a nice rake on it, extend the front arms, and a nice set of ape hangers, the rear tire is mounted on a bike rim so i was thinkin one of them walmart special chopper bike rear tires or something then weld in a cross bar and fab up a tank. it had a small air cooled 2 stroke on it but the motor is siezed and i dont’ think it’s w orth our time as it’s a single gear from what i can see…and a 50 would give us some more to play with ---
