I pulled this out of the local bike boneyard yesterday. It's rough as a cob, but for only $40 I couldn't resist.
Almost everything on it is stuck, rusted or rotten, but all I really wanted was the frame and some hardware.
So far, all I've done is dragged it into the garage....because it won't roll...and sprayed everything with PB Blaster in preparation for disassembly.
I have lots of questions and could use some guidance. Below is a list of things I'd like to do and a couple of pics for inspiration. Anything you can tell me is appreciated.
I'd like to do:
* Fork swap. USD or conventional hydraulic?
* Front disc
* Aluminum swing arm, probably the extended one. What do you do about the brake rod and stay with the extended arm?
* 12" wheels. I re-use my old rear hub. Do the disc swap front hubs accept the 12" hoops?
* Big motor....140-160cc. Would also like some suggestions on brands/size for this. Lifan, Piranha, SSR, etc.
