I like it! Can't wait to see if! I've always been a huge fan of green, right next to pink!

Well I am ready to drop it all off at the powder coat shop but they are closed! So Happy 4th of July!!

In another question…. What would you do torque a verter or centrifugal clutch? Trying to decide.

TC is cheaper, gives better overall performance but adds some width. It looks like you can handle the width. Wheelies are a possibility with TC. Mount battery forward if possible. Your project is coming along very nicely!

I don’t know if the tc is actually cheaper as I can buy the clutch for the bike for less than 20 bucks through my work for a name brand one.
I would like to be able to keep the front wheel down lol.
Yes the battery is in front of the engine. It will also help that the bike is much longer than before. I do like the simple raw look of the chain and centrifugal clutch. Looks more original.

I basically only ride on level asphalt, if you ride off road I'd suggest a TC. I only weight about a buck fifty so a clutch works great for me. My bikes struggle to go across my field or high grass.

I as you can probably tell by the tires and overall vibe of the bike it’s for pavement. But I do have some hills to contest with. At 160lbs I think a 212 should still carry me along even if it’s through the grass in the yard. I am not trying to go fast just cruiser if it does 35-40 topped out that would be great!

Tall tires roll easier across the grass, so you should be fine with a good clutch.

I worked out my seat issue or lack of seat issue. I have had this brand new never used Tomos moped seat for a few years I sat it on there but it was resting on the frame too high. So time to modify it some! I think it is gonna work out good. I have to glue the cover back on I trimmed it so the cover wraps around the cutout I made to fit the frame.

Dropped off frame to be powder coated this morning super excited to see the finished project!
