I used to build Cranbrook's. I've picked up a couple older bikes, from old peoples yard sales. #1, 1960 Murray SonicFlight a 26" middle weight and #2 a 1965 Murray middle weight 26". Both turned into board bikes. I did save all the beautiful chrome fenders.
pretty cool . i can see why you used a Cranbrook over a drop loop frame . the cheapest drop loop board track racer frame i found was like 400 dollars give or give a few dollars . turned out great . i would love to run across a board track racer barn find . dought i will here in michigan but you never know . of course my wife would be mad as a hornet if i get yet another bike lol .
Eugene, can you make a video for how to make a vintage style double kickstand (which screws up to the rear axle) and an other for making a low saddle seat post for a cruiser bicycle?
You built a really nice piece brother! I know you like the cranbrook frames and well that's my only complaint! I think starting with a stronger frame is important! I will give the cranbrook it's dues though, they have a beautiful shape! You are my favorite motorised bike builder on RUclips! Keep up the good work!
Great vid nice bike! How much did it end up selling for?? Also love how you made that plate for the break arm that have me a new level of perspective to make mine better sadly i cant wield it but i have some great clamps that would work
Hello. Thank you so much information. You said in the video you used a 1/8 coupling for your petcock. Are you able to use the 10mm petcock that seems to come with the kit or are you buying an aftermarket petcock to fit the npt threads?
Not to be sarcastic here so I'll be a little sassy. There's quite a few hours of labor into one of these and since I don't employ Chinese slave labor, it would cost $250 or so. So I don't offer them. Get a welder and some 20ga steel and give it a go.
I weld it into place. You can cut off original clamp, lower seat tube and weld clamp back on if you want. I just make the seat go as low as possible for looks, not comfort.
I currently don't sell them. They take awhile to make and for me to charge enough most people pass. I don't have them made in China using near-slave labor so I cannot compete with that. You can buy a welder and make your own far cheaper if you want
@@HughesMotorized Paul Jr & Sr are jealous you can build a cool board track racer in your garage with just a few tools and a $120 Harbor Freight welder. They say you're making them look bad, so they gave you a thumbs down.
A few years late coming to the show but this is hands-down, one of the best NO BS instructional videos I ever seen. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Very cool! Watch for cracks in those fenders. If they fail, you'll crash instantly. LOTS of horror stories out there. Ride on !
Damn I've been literally looking for a week for the right motorized bike project for me I think this is it and my favorite looking one I seen
gas tank construction very cool , Caswell best tank sealer out there !
Your a good instructor...thank you for the lesson.
Wow what a gem of a channel
Thank you. I'm workin' on it and trying to improve
This video inspired me,,, I started my own board racer today
Rock on ! Have fun
That is one cool lookin bike bud. I want to build one. Excellent job!
Sir nice work & I love this model bikes.
Thanks for liking

Take a 29incher Huffy Millennial cruiser, cut it in half and convert to drop loop
I would like to see more video like this. On how to do it yourself if possible with more tips and tricks. Thank you for your time

Lots of info fast and direct 👍

Great work brotha! Love your energy. The video did get a little too fast for me to follow as i was running low on meth this evening.
This was a quickie wasn't it?
I bet it does well! It's beautiful !!!!
She is a looker! I love that bike!
what brand of motor do you use?
Been waiting for this one and it came right in time. Awesome work!
Ini mah enak buat sendiri alatnya lengkap..hebat ente bos..
I was your 1000th like. congrats.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great vid nice bike! How much did it end up selling for??

Great work dude u are awesome at what you do
Incrível! Sua arte é maravilhosa! Parabéns!
Gracias. Eres muy amable.
Pure co2 helps for thinner sheet metal and it's cheaper too
Hello. Thank you so much information. You said in the video you used a 1/8 coupling for your petcock. Are you able to use the 10mm petcock that seems to come with the kit or are you buying an aftermarket petcock to fit the npt threads?
Most standard tanks with the female fitting will accept 1/8" NPT threads. They are so close to the 10mm pipe threads that they work just fine
Thanks fore shareing your ideas! ❤️👍
I was thinking the other day that I feel like building a very dangerous useless motorized toy, and bingo, up pops this video !!!
This one fits the bill. Thanks for watching
What size tire do you use?
The bike is a common Walmart, Huffy Cranbrook that runs 26" x 2.25" tires
Uh 1....Lets go! Good work my man!
Hi there , I was wondering if you would make another tank like that one , for sale and how Can i contact you ?
Thanks

when u cut down seat tube what do you use or how to clamp seatpost tight.
I weld it into place. You can cut off original clamp, lower seat tube and weld clamp back on if you want. I just make the seat go as low as possible for looks, not comfort.
Hi, nice bike, send to Chile!!!!!!!!
I've been seeing this exact bike on Facebook here in Melbourne FL for $800
Yup someone is always willing to make one cheaper. Why I don't build anymore to sell, just for play
Hello I jus my first ebike kit i put together but it started one then I can't get it to start again please help me
Get a multimeter and the wiring diagram and start checking. There are diagrams online somewhere. Have to find them
Me encantó cómo quedó, saludos desde Madrid
Gracias. Saludos desde USA
@@HughesMotorized since when did you know Spanish lol
How much do you sell your gas tanks for
I currently don't sell them. They take awhile to make and for me to charge enough most people pass. I don't have them made in China using near-slave labor so I cannot compete with that. You can buy a welder and make your own far cheaper if you want
That is what I will do thanks
Wow. How do I get you to build me something like this?
You should make a lowrider bike
Pls tell me frame details
Huffy Cranbrook frame. Modified as in the video
How much did the bike sell for? I found this video 5 months later.
I think like $600.. I won't build one for less than $1500. Not worth the time. You can DIY for $800 w/ buying a welder and some basic shop tools
The thumbs down are from over at Orange County Choppers coz they're haters.
LOL. screw then anyways huh? All good. My dogs like me

@@michaelbrinks8089 there ya go
I didn't win your bike so I built my own. Go to yak squad to check it out.
You’re really relying on those welds for the motor mounts and 3/8 plate? I’m concerned
3/16ths I’m even more concerned 😟 do you know how much vibration these motors create on full throttle, I’d like to see your mounts after 10k miles
Do you true that rear sprocket? You skip some important steps for running one of these hard and fast
“Chrome” don’t get you home buddy and neither does the look. Trial by error my friend
I've built 100s. I know what I'm doing.
Don't be an ass

Welder fabricator here can confirm don't want to experience an explosive cutoff wheel best case scenario you'll need new pants 👖
Preach it brother!
Interesting.... but the look of that little weedeater motor kinda overshadows the project.
