I put my first bike together about a week ago, never understood why you called your viewers enthusiasts until the second I got it started. My hands are constantly covered in grease and oil, and I now have "pocket wrenches" but I absolutely love it. You helped a lot so far! Thank you!
I went through pretty much this same exercise last year. Headlight, taillight, stoplight, turn signals and horn. All on batteries, not connected to the magneto. From your comments, sounds like the scooter laws in LA are similar to Michigan. I went to the local police to have them inspect the bike so I could apply for a VIN, yada, yada. They pointed me to their motorcycle / scooter expert. He pretty much laughed and said, it's a bike. As long as it has peddles and can be ridden with out the engine running, they consider it a bike. Legal to run on the streets with or without the engine running. I asked him if he would sign a letter to that effect and he did without issue. So, if I get a ticket someday, hopefully this covers it. I found the whole exercise weird, but am glad I have the lights on the bike now. I do appreciate your video, as you used different components I was not aware were available.
@randy s I understand. My reading of our state's law is the same. But I'm going on interactions with my local police dept. Maybe they just don't want to bother, I guess.
Would so luv to see someone try a mini John deer alternator to power electronics on a motorised bike! I've seen them pan on remote control airplanes! Run a belt to the alt and your in! You would more than likely run a regulator or something but yeah
10-4 on the 49cc motor sticker. I actually took the plastic shrouding/cover off of a 32cc weed Wacker and cut and dremeled to semi appear like it belongs to the engine. Thank you again for your time and insight. Cheers
Skyhawk motors come with a cc and hp rating on the engine. But you can switch them out with the 49 cc tag and all good. Cop isn't gunna measure your bore.
I ride around with a 80cc and I’ll let the police know it’s a 80cc they usually don’t mess with us they wanna know where I got it from 😂😂 even with my fat belly pipe
I like this build.I hope it is still working well for You! I have a similar set up and i really like it mostly for night riding! You can alway use an auxiliary mag . It fits on the right side of your existing mag.Puts out 12 to 18 volts at 3 amp.and will not affect your other mag setup or power at all for about 30 bucks. And it work very well.I have had it in one of my bikes for over 20 plus years and works everything you want to turn on or charge. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your FUN upgrades and Ride alongs.👍
Bruv. Your content is awesome and doing a lot of the leg work in helping me convince the boys into starting a tongue in cheek motor(ed) cycle gang. Keep up the great work!
@@richiej2640351 I am not heavy enough to need the peddles so I welded the chain to the sprocket! I wanted to keep that factory look! lol And no issues with the clutch at all! To start it I just put it on the center stand and give the tire a quick spin. No problem.👍
Awesome stuff. I went on Amazon and found an adapter for my Ryobi One+ 18v batteries (they sell similar items for most other cordless tool batteries too). It fits over the battery and has two 12ga wires sticking out of the top. I bought an adjustable step down transformer online as well and wired it to the adapter wires. I adjusted the voltage from 18v to 12.5v. Now I have a very loud car horn and a way to add more stuff when I'm ready. It is, however; independent of the magneto system so it will not charge while riding. Not an issue for me since I have several batteries and only using it for a horn. Works great for my 1 to 2 hour a rides around town on the weekends.
I put a Mini generator in near my magnetable amounts inside the casing. And I couldn't even get it to put out any power whatsoever. Couldn't couldn't get it to put out any power at all.
2 years late to the comments, but I did remove just the brake shoes for awhile without issue and ended up going back to coasters. I also have front and rear hand brakes. Going strong without any issues, just keep em greased up good.
Test the amperage output to be sure! This vidio interests me because I have an old school headlight and most people say the white wire on the kits is useless so I'm hoping your right!
Just buy a Li-ion battery or a generator for the motor... I'd honestly would buy the battery it's pretty tiny and lightweight.. I've had mine for 6months, due for an upgrade soon.
My manual reads 7vdc with 850mA draw. Anything more kills the motor. Probably wwayyyyy to late for this comment but if someone else reads it perhaps it will help. 66/80cc

hover years ago in the early nineties we were a bunch of broke kids we couldnt have even dreamed of all that stuff on a bike but we were clever all we could afford was those cheap plastic five dollar a set pedals for our bikes the ones that wore out in a hundred miles or less what we did was grind some of the plastic out and put a metal liner in there with grease those pedals would then last about 175 miles or one summer vacation another thing we did was we would run drywall screws through our pedals and then snip them it kept our feet from slipping off the pedals as the metal was sharper and harder than the plastic barbs already on the pedals man those were so fun times hell we even kept junk bikes around for parts one of us was always breaking something lastly we salvaged the 54 tooth sprockets and crank assembleys from exercise bikes and put them on our bikes as a result we could pedal and get speeds of 35 to 38 m.p.h. and with slight downhill grade we hit speeds of 40 and sometimes as much as fifty if the grade was steep and long enough back then we had no idea of how dangerous that was because at the time bicycle tires were only rated for 32 m.p.h. l.o.l. good times those were
Yeah, i accidentally totally disassembled my coaster brake hub when just trying to remove the arm. I learned more about coaster brakes than I ever wanted to know, having to struggle to put it all back together.
I have a proprietary coaster brake removal process thats simple enough to complete with simple hand tools in about 20 min. Its a brake shoe and slight modification to the spring clutch device inside. brake arm removal is optional ( I usually leave them intact just for fun )
And cops... what i do is just hit the kill switch anytime i see cops. And peddle try to peddle all the time just the act of peddling no strength behind it.
That's a beautiful trail path for riding your motorized bike love the video bike looks nice clean bike setup ma guy like always ma respect and love to you and the family stay safe out there God bless you and the family and the whole world 🌎❤
23:21 I'm using a Makita 18v cordless drill battery with a 12v stepdown converter on my street legal CR80, since it doesn't have a charging coil. Battery lasts the entire day even with the headlight on (it's illegal to turn it off while riding on the streets).
I've built my own lightning system from scratch it runs on 12v 3.5amp motorcycle battery the headlight is a 35w halogen im just installing it into my electra custom frame i have a few short vids on my channel
(Arkie in San Antonio) I've removed the COASTER BRAKE all of my builds ,all Cranbrooks so far if you find the right directions on line it only takes about 15min walks you all the way through it. 20:59
I have that same bike computer on my build, you said the light doesn't stay on, but it can, press both buttons at the same time, and the light will remain on.
i gotta say im glad theres someone like yourself in the motobicycle hobby thats helpful enough to have a channel that can help someone like myself. i struggled with numerous things like coaster brake re-installment and breaking in your engine properly. is there a contoller box of some sort that you have hooked the electronics up to or is it all just going straight to the battery? because ive got some lights and getting the same relay and indicator switch you used, so it would help to know how you wired this together. let me know because im in the process of making my 49cc bike street legal in the state of VA. love your videos, you've helped me out a lot.
3A is a LOT for the generator addon. Where i lived in the US, we didn't need any of that stuff, and couldn't register it even if we wanted to. And they are 100% street legal for anyone with a valid drivers license. I did however add all the lights and stuff but that's just for my safety, not for any legal reason. Not sure what state you're in though. I however painted my bike to make it look really pretty. If the bike looks like a messy unsafe POS, you're more likely to get pulled over than if it's something that looks well put together and looks really nice. So i'd suggest painting the petrol tank with something that is petrol/oil resistant. As well as keeping the bike clean and shiny.
This is how mine looked. In the process of replacing the engine, but i live in a different place now with even looser restrictions. photos.app.goo.gl/7X1BJcPRpyt4VXei8
It becomes a "moped" they give you a vin plate. Depending state to state is different.. but depending on how hard your state is on emissions and depending on if mopeds need to pass emissions in your state these chaina dolls wont pass. But dont worry you can buy "flying horse" epa kit or maybe just the exhaust im sure you can find it used since no one runs the epa exhaust from that kit you lose a lot of power with it.. but to pass inspection if needed 2 nuts take 2secs to swap out
@@possibleproblem479 not sure you lied to you.... but even if you do have a big bore sleeve head you still can get it tagged as a moped 1st off mopeds go up to 125cc different states have different laws i know but i know actual mopeds come in 125s so say you for some reason report the big bore upgrade instead of just reporting the stock motor size you could still get it tagged no matter what even if for some crazy reason they wont tag it as a moped which i dont under why they wouldn't even with the George Washington mentality they can still tag it as a custom moped or custom motorcycle
@@possibleproblem479 i have all my scooters ( 50s) tagged as mopeds in my state they have they have to be 50cc under for scooter to be tagged as mopeds and all mine are actually 203cc the have big bore stroker kits on a swapped out 150
Do you think you could do a upgrade version of this'll video but have everything running off a 12v rechargeable battery 🔋 and using led lights and you can use with a razor mx650. Thanks
I’m trying to figure out a way to install headlight turning and breaking lights all wired to a kill switch and a rpm and mph gauges all from the bike power or do I need to find a small ATV battery or a Milwaukee drill battery
If you got rubber motor melts and box in the engine make that engine much quieter also add a converter AND a good Muffler will quite not engine down quite a bit it's possible you might not even hear that engine when it's running
@LA Hover Did you need something between the battery and the lighting, like a controller? I assume you got the barrel connector wired up to the straight wires somehow...
I recommend to get a new hub and axle. You can remove coaster brakes if you took out everything it will work but NOT SAFE its a 50/50 just opens the door for issues. So your best bet is getting a h.d axle/hub kit the sell them on BBR and motorbikes they around $50 it will give you a drum brake great brake to have and a better way to put on sprocket. A bike shop should be able to build rim using the huffy rim just swap hubs for another $20-30
Here in California as of January 2024 motorized bicycles are classified as mopeds and require one time registration as plate minimum M2 license a DOT approved helmet, no signals are required yet, just headlight & taillight visible from 500 ft. I'm using a cateye led bicycle taillight and instead of running a generator for headlight on 4 stroke which only one company seems to offer from bike berry are pricey ,went for a habor freight auxiliary H3 light replaced with led bulb and 12V rechargeable 1200ma lithium ion battery which draws 0.41 amps gives me about 2.5 hours maybe more haven't tested it my rides are rarely at night and usually no more than 20 minutes long each way so it's more than I need.
Bro I just got a bike because of watching all your videos and it’s a 2 stroke that’s like very very sketchy (multi gear turned into single speed) but man now I want to make videos lol
I bought a bike that has been through the ringer. It works ok but needs some help. I love your video, can you offer any help. I also have parts ordered for it.
Wisconsin actually has some good motorized bike laws. Up to 130cc and no lights as long as it's day time. For once they're actually less strict than most states.
I’m thinking about putting together a bike build, but I have a question, I don’t know if it is possible on my bike because the previous owner modified the handlebars to be bullhorn style, and it still has standard grips, and I don’t know if it would be possible to install the accelerator grip. (On the normal grip spot) What do you think?
So cool. So you can hook up lighting system to the extra white wire? And how did you manage to fit the right side blinker into the handle bar with the twist throttle? Thank you
Running off the motor turned out to be a bit more involved than I thought it would be :( I ended up just using a 12 volt batter bank that would run everything for weeks b4 needing a charge. For both sides of the bars you just cut out the end of the grips and slide them in :)
@@LAHover awesome thank you, so i can cut the throttle grip and it won't effect it huh? Hmmm interesting. I do have a spare so I will try it on there thank you so much appreciate your feedback. My 10-year-old and I just got one and we have learned a lot from you, even got The Firestorm zeda because you recommended it. Thank you for all you do
Yes I removed the entire gut system for my brakes I'll have to do a video on it, basically now I can pedal several times before catching with the chain. To pedal forward but I did not have a option once I had started my build the coaster brake leg got mad and the wheel had locked in both directions like a fixed gear bike. Didn't want the pedals to beat my ankles as I ft down the road soooooo
No nitro and I've been doing a full curcit electrical kit with gps dule hand brake same as a normal car motorbike can run solar, Ac 5v charger 1amp rate, or on the dynamo 6w battery supplys and drop when full to the lighting kit. Going the bike industry as it will fit in a 50mm frame hopefully the 25mm but will need to wait and see. And foot peg led 3 pin types and 2 types Ir and lined as the front is on suspension 😕 9v front light main 2 3.7v backup but can use 5v 9v 12v set as well as horn on a 12 song kit one for now, gps, indicator, hazard and brake kit hand made! But should be a good application 😆. As a few back there was not one worth the cash on and this one from china was like 200 bucks for one front or back and like 20 dollors worth so went to make my own for the industry hopefully in the next year or so with a full tested kit for market use you could basically add all after market led fits on top.
Hello. I love your content. I need help wiring my turn signals and horn. I have the same turn signal switch and horn switch assembly as you are using on your cranbrook. But I cannot figure it out. I do not have a wiring diagram can you help me with this issue?
Complaining about you rolling through stop signs but you remind me of a joke that a State trooper once told me about. He pulled the man over for rolling through a stop sign and the man started to argue with him why should he have to stop if there's no cars coming. State trooper explained that Hill demonstrate why he needed to stop and took out his. He began to tap on the man's head with the knife stick and asked him now you want me to stop or slow down. State trooper claims the man got the point. LOL
Add a Chinese li-ion battery, preferably a 9ah, long lasting battery.. I use. 12v 3.5ah that last 15 days with bike lights and around 7 days with a motorcycle headlamp LeD bulb.
Hello, I’m trying to find some good mirrors that don’t block my shifting and those mirrors look great! Do you happen to remember where you got them from and possibly have a link for them??
They ended up being junk. The inserts disintegrated after about a month sorry. You might find better ones by searching for "bar end turn signal mirrors"
I wish we could have two magnetos to power your electricity and to power your spark separate so the lights don’t rob your spark power I assume it would rob it anyway
Please please please tell me how to get your bike to idle so good, I can't get mine to idle at all its either too low and it dies or it revs to the moon
Could be a few things. Air leaks around the crab / intake, base gasket, crank seals, etc, are common. Try the simple stuff first. Clean the carb and jet, also try lifting the needle one notch. This video may help, good luck! ruclips.net/video/JmBzrRsSTxU/видео.html
@LAHover the intake gasket to the jug is new (which I cut myself) out of felpro, there Is an o-ring in the snout of the carb to help sealing, I have yet to change the bottom jug gasket and head gasket since I bought the bike, I'll watch the video and I'll let you know if I helps. Thank you so much
Hey Hover! I got one of these kits for a bike I had I have a 15 inch frame tube height I don’t know if it’s big enough it has the proper with of the tubes what’s the size of your bike? Nice build btw
I try getting my bike registered with the dmv but they say no because is a bicycle I have 5 years of building and riding motorized bike and I thank God I never had no problems with the law. I install the rear tire rain cover and I have no problems with is so far
you should get a 100% synthetic oil, high octane fuel and a better air filter bc this one sucks a lot, and u could take the tip out of the exhaust to have a really good increase of torque. with all that I'm getting 56kmh in straight, u really should do some tunning ;)

That's bad ass I'm working on my project 80cc motorized bike myself
Love the quality of this video! You gained a new sub :)
Thanks for the sub!
In the four states Iv'e had these bikes, the one thing that is not allowed is a clutch. In Oregon the rules vary from city to city.
That’s a pretty stupid law😂
23:21 I'm using a Makita 18v cordless drill battery with a 12v stepdown converter on my street legal CR80, since it doesn't have a charging coil. Battery lasts the entire day even with the headlight on (it's illegal to turn it off while riding on the streets).
I've built my own lightning system from scratch it runs on 12v 3.5amp motorcycle battery the headlight is a 35w halogen im just installing it into my electra custom frame i have a few short vids on my channel
(Arkie in San Antonio) I've removed the COASTER BRAKE all of my builds ,all Cranbrooks so far if you find the right directions on line it only takes about 15min walks you all the way through it. 20:59
I have that same bike computer on my build, you said the light doesn't stay on, but it can, press both buttons at the same time, and the light will remain on.
I'm not sure but I believe you need yellow side reflectors in the front and red side reflectors in the back
I think you are right, as they are on my dual sport as well
I had no problem removing the coaster broke of course its easy when you have the right tools
I took my coaster break and the rim eventually separating from the bearing, the arm held it together in, idk, but had to get a new rim.
i gotta say im glad theres someone like yourself in the motobicycle hobby thats helpful enough to have a channel that can help someone like myself. i struggled with numerous things like coaster brake re-installment and breaking in your engine properly. is there a contoller box of some sort that you have hooked the electronics up to or is it all just going straight to the battery? because ive got some lights and getting the same relay and indicator switch you used, so it would help to know how you wired this together. let me know because im in the process of making my 49cc bike street legal in the state of VA. love your videos, you've helped me out a lot.
I can't see the battery,where is it?
3A is a LOT for the generator addon.
Where i lived in the US, we didn't need any of that stuff, and couldn't register it even if we wanted to. And they are 100% street legal for anyone with a valid drivers license. I did however add all the lights and stuff but that's just for my safety, not for any legal reason.
Not sure what state you're in though.
I however painted my bike to make it look really pretty. If the bike looks like a messy unsafe POS, you're more likely to get pulled over than if it's something that looks well put together and looks really nice. So i'd suggest painting the petrol tank with something that is petrol/oil resistant. As well as keeping the bike clean and shiny.
This is how mine looked. In the process of replacing the engine, but i live in a different place now with even looser restrictions. photos.app.goo.gl/7X1BJcPRpyt4VXei8
@@LazyBunnyKiera nice
Like the 49cc stickers
It becomes a "moped" they give you a vin plate. Depending state to state is different.. but depending on how hard your state is on emissions and depending on if mopeds need to pass emissions in your state these chaina dolls wont pass. But dont worry you can buy "flying horse" epa kit or maybe just the exhaust im sure you can find it used since no one runs the epa exhaust from that kit you lose a lot of power with it.. but to pass inspection if needed 2 nuts take 2secs to swap out
mine isn’t street legal since it’s 90cc which sucks. even if I get it registered and insured I’m still not allowed to use it on the street
@@possibleproblem479 not sure you lied to you.... but even if you do have a big bore sleeve head you still can get it tagged as a moped 1st off mopeds go up to 125cc different states have different laws i know but i know actual mopeds come in 125s so say you for some reason report the big bore upgrade instead of just reporting the stock motor size you could still get it tagged no matter what even if for some crazy reason they wont tag it as a moped which i dont under why they wouldn't even with the George Washington mentality they can still tag it as a custom moped or custom motorcycle
@@possibleproblem479 i have all my scooters ( 50s) tagged as mopeds in my state they have they have to be 50cc under for scooter to be tagged as mopeds and all mine are actually 203cc the have big bore stroker kits on a swapped out 150
Speak for your state ...PA bikes are not motor vehicles aa long as it has pedals and cops could careless
Enjoy your videos bro
Do you think you could do a upgrade version of this'll video but have everything running off a 12v rechargeable battery 🔋 and using led lights and you can use with a razor mx650. Thanks
where did you get all these parts?
I’m trying to figure out a way to install headlight turning and breaking lights all wired to a kill switch and a rpm and mph gauges all from the bike power or do I need to find a small ATV battery or a Milwaukee drill battery
I wish you would have filmed the brake removal but I think that I have only seen the removal of the brake arm!
Ya I wanted to but I hit a wall after removing the break shoes. I'm almost certain I was doing it wrong...
If you got rubber motor melts and box in the engine make that engine much quieter also add a converter AND a good Muffler will quite not engine down quite a bit it's possible you might not even hear that engine when it's running
@LA Hover Did you need something between the battery and the lighting, like a controller?
I assume you got the barrel connector wired up to the straight wires somehow...
Thats a seeutek very nice motors for being a China doll
I recommend to get a new hub and axle. You can remove coaster brakes if you took out everything it will work but NOT SAFE its a 50/50 just opens the door for issues. So your best bet is getting a h.d axle/hub kit the sell them on BBR and motorbikes they around $50 it will give you a drum brake great brake to have and a better way to put on sprocket. A bike shop should be able to build rim using the huffy rim just swap hubs for another $20-30
Thanks for the info.
Here in California as of January 2024 motorized bicycles are classified as mopeds and require one time registration as plate minimum M2 license a DOT approved helmet, no signals are required yet, just headlight & taillight visible from 500 ft. I'm using a cateye led bicycle taillight and instead of running a generator for headlight on 4 stroke which only one company seems to offer from bike berry are pricey ,went for a habor freight auxiliary H3 light replaced with led bulb and 12V rechargeable 1200ma lithium ion battery which draws 0.41 amps gives me about 2.5 hours maybe more haven't tested it my rides are rarely at night and usually no more than 20 minutes long each way so it's more than I need.
Can you make a video of how to put the whole thing together?? Please, cause I can’t find any video on YT to help out
My dream would be to attach a massive co2 canister connected to a train horn. The sound would be hilarious
Lol
Lil 8v pump and a horn with the engines power would be a cool setup
In this video you took the coaster brake off that is all I have used on the rear wheel
Sounds good
The coster break process is hell I completely took the hub apart had to find replacements parts because money then I had to figure the ish 😞 ut
Bro I just got a bike because of watching all your videos and it’s a 2 stroke that’s like very very sketchy (multi gear turned into single speed) but man now I want to make videos lol
Where you buy engine
your light gets very bright did you get it at walmart
i asked this before you showed the new magneto
I bought a bike that has been through the ringer. It works ok but needs some help. I love your video, can you offer any help. I also have parts ordered for it.
Good stuff :)
Wisconsin actually has some good motorized bike laws. Up to 130cc and no lights as long as it's day time. For once they're actually less strict than most states.
Here in Pennsylvania they said as long as it’s under 125cc you’re good. They said lights and helmets are a suggestion.
Parts description?
You should slip them so the under the bars and can see behind you better just look down and you'll see behind you. Just a thought
doesn't that magneto have three wires?
I’m thinking about putting together a bike build, but I have a question, I don’t know if it is possible on my bike because the previous owner modified the handlebars to be bullhorn style, and it still has standard grips, and I don’t know if it would be possible to install the accelerator grip. (On the normal grip spot) What do you think?
Why does mine stall out when I stop the bike?
do you have a link for the break switch?
Why did u not put links to anything you have ??
It seems like if I add more oil ti mix it slows it down a lot but I dnt want to mess engine up .I really dnt think more oil will but shit who knows
is the engine on that a pk80?
I have a similar bike speedometer, it keeps the backlight on if you hold both buttons for a couple seconds, might work for you, might not.
ya I'll need a new one, this one has it's readings flying all over the place.
Is there a video better explain the hook up process
Where did the regulator / rectifier come from (ebay , amazon , ?)
are the voltage stabilizers expensive? i think i can build my own
So cool. So you can hook up lighting system to the extra white wire? And how did you manage to fit the right side blinker into the handle bar with the twist throttle? Thank you
Running off the motor turned out to be a bit more involved than I thought it would be :( I ended up just using a 12 volt batter bank that would run everything for weeks b4 needing a charge. For both sides of the bars you just cut out the end of the grips and slide them in :)
@@LAHover awesome thank you, so i can cut the throttle grip and it won't effect it huh? Hmmm interesting. I do have a spare so I will try it on there thank you so much appreciate your feedback. My 10-year-old and I just got one and we have learned a lot from you, even got The Firestorm zeda because you recommended it. Thank you for all you do
Is the stock rear hub holding up OK? I've heard people say its junk but that was on forums that are 8 yrs old...
I ran into an issue trying to readjust the cup and cone after I took off and reinstalled the coaster break arm. I could never get it right...
Yes I removed the entire gut system for my brakes I'll have to do a video on it, basically now I can pedal several times before catching with the chain. To pedal forward but I did not have a option once I had started my build the coaster brake leg got mad and the wheel had locked in both directions like a fixed gear bike. Didn't want the pedals to beat my ankles as I ft down the road soooooo
I will be replacing whole wheel and hub with a mountain bike. Geared. Hub. In near future
can you post some links to where you got this stuff?
My motor has the cc rating on the jug. Its really weird. But its a 50 so thats nice
No nitro and I've been doing a full curcit electrical kit with gps dule hand brake same as a normal car motorbike can run solar, Ac 5v charger 1amp rate, or on the dynamo 6w battery supplys and drop when full to the lighting kit. Going the bike industry as it will fit in a 50mm frame hopefully the 25mm but will need to wait and see. And foot peg led 3 pin types and 2 types Ir and lined as the front is on suspension 😕 9v front light main 2 3.7v backup but can use 5v 9v 12v set as well as horn on a 12 song kit one for now, gps, indicator, hazard and brake kit hand made! But should be a good application 😆. As a few back there was not one worth the cash on and this one from china was like 200 bucks for one front or back and like 20 dollors worth so went to make my own for the industry hopefully in the next year or so with a full tested kit for market use you could basically add all after market led fits on top.
Hello. I love your content. I need help wiring my turn signals and horn. I have the same turn signal switch and horn switch assembly as you are using on your cranbrook. But I cannot figure it out. I do not have a wiring diagram can you help me with this issue?
Complaining about you rolling through stop signs but you remind me of a joke that a State trooper once told me about. He pulled the man over for rolling through a stop sign and the man started to argue with him why should he have to stop if there's no cars coming. State trooper explained that Hill demonstrate why he needed to stop and took out his. He began to tap on the man's head with the knife stick and asked him now you want me to stop or slow down. State trooper claims the man got the point. LOL
awesome...
Can you put links to everything you bought?
Where you getting the turn signals from
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011BTMDQM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Add a Chinese li-ion battery, preferably a 9ah, long lasting battery.. I use. 12v 3.5ah that last 15 days with bike lights and around 7 days with a motorcycle headlamp LeD bulb.
Hello, I’m trying to find some good mirrors that don’t block my shifting and those mirrors look great! Do you happen to remember where you got them from and possibly have a link for them??
They ended up being junk. The inserts disintegrated after about a month sorry. You might find better ones by searching for "bar end turn signal mirrors"
@@LAHover omg, the legend actually responded😂
Please list the parts you used and where you got them from 17:26. A List with links would be better than listing parts in the video.
Listing fee is $35
Link for your lights
I wana ask you opinion about the mechanical speedometer/odometer
I'm not sure what wheel size they are calibrated for. If your wheels are too big it will read fast.
I wish we could have two magnetos to power your electricity and to power your spark separate so the lights don’t rob your spark power I assume it would rob it anyway
I see people putting choke on why? My engine start cold with choke wife open every time
Please please please tell me how to get your bike to idle so good, I can't get mine to idle at all its either too low and it dies or it revs to the moon
Could be a few things. Air leaks around the crab / intake, base gasket, crank seals, etc, are common.
Try the simple stuff first. Clean the carb and jet, also try lifting the needle one notch.
This video may help, good luck! ruclips.net/video/JmBzrRsSTxU/видео.html
@LAHover the intake gasket to the jug is new (which I cut myself) out of felpro, there Is an o-ring in the snout of the carb to help sealing, I have yet to change the bottom jug gasket and head gasket since I bought the bike, I'll watch the video and I'll let you know if I helps. Thank you so much
Do you have the build for the engine in this bike? And what year is this cranbrook?
Seeutek PK80. And it's a 2017 Cranbrook
Hey Hover! I got one of these kits for a bike I had I have a 15 inch frame tube height I don’t know if it’s big enough it has the proper with of the tubes what’s the size of your bike?
Nice build btw
I try getting my bike registered with the dmv but they say no because is a bicycle I have 5 years of building and riding motorized bike and I thank God I never had no problems with the law. I install the rear tire rain cover and I have no problems with is so far
How much and where can I get those collapsible fenders and how much, what are the best ones to get?

you should get a 100% synthetic oil, high octane fuel and a better air filter bc this one sucks a lot, and u could take the tip out of the exhaust to have a really good increase of torque. with all that I'm getting 56kmh in straight, u really should do some tunning ;)
