hi I'm afraid i lost all the build pics wen my laptop broke yes the pics are taken at billing the brakes are ok the rear is the honda express drum brake and the front is a drum brake from a early tandem the fuel tank is in the bag on the rear and the gear lever is the choke.it had a daylight mot so no lights required although it does have a rear tail light and brake light will do 30mph flat out quite scary as theres no suspension

Good work there.
Funnily enough we're just looking at doing something similar by trying to mate a Schwinn Stingray with a pit bike !

i had planned on doing this a few years ago, i even bought all the parts.
my plan was to use a raleigh wisp tho as the donor bike so the log book read "raleigh moped" and also that way you retain the pedals and also the rear wheel where it should be.
i think there are a few choppers running express engines tho, but yours maybe the first road legal
well done, makes me want to get mine out now

Bikes in general be it pushbikes or motorbikes arnt my thing really but nobody could fail to be impressed with this ;D i know there are some poor countries where they will strap any motor they can get to a pushbike vietnam being one,its just a way of life for them  The one thing that amuses me most here is seeing a bike i got backies on when i was little in the 70,s displaying a Tax Disc!! LMAO! Great bike ill be smiling all day now ;D Huggz Jodie |

Awesome!
Just wondering if that's the Chopper I sold on Felabay a few years back, the buyer said they had something 'different' planned for it. ;D
