1980 motobecane sebring with a puch e50 engine. tecno estroli exhaust. had to make custom engine mounts and custom exhaust mount. it's a motopuch! bike is in the rat bike stage, more to come soon. just took it out for the first time today. runs pretty good. let the flameing begin!
Some flames would look good on the tank.. :) Their is my flaming..
Looks good to me..
thanks go out to salty for hooking me up with the rear shocks, puch motor, and exhaust. and his knowledge. and also my dad for helping me. and my pointer finger for sacrificing itself for the greater good...
big ups! looks good
OK, so you've made a few things and did a little welding. That's more than most guys on here saying they've got a "custom bike". Congrats. Looks good. Now take it to the next level. Let's see some "real" custom work. You can do it!
This is a REAL custom bike.
dude sick! IM SO GLAD YOU ARE SHAVING THE SEAT FOAM!
the seat on the sebring and g3 are wayyy too big imo. think its gonna look hot!
so are you going to make pedals work, or just some pegs
No need to flame here. Nice job on the build.
mike
need you old engine? throw it my way if you dont. nice build btw.
Looks good man.
no pedals on this turd... sold the old engine already. i've got a 70cc kit and a 19mm dellorto waiting to be put on. i'm thinking i'll go a little more "custom" but we'll see. i'd like to add a disc brake setup too. i was making some new seat foam for it because the stock one was really ratty, but then i'm just like, why don't i just cut the top of the foam off? it'll be nice and soft again and look better (as in lower) too! i also chopped the stock handle bars...
got any high res pics of your magnum?
why
why what?
turd... was minarelli or morini...
morini. would have kept the bike stock if minaelli.
Hey great job looks cool fast
Barry
It did it better dude....:) kidding looks good bro
do you have any high res pics of your bike? i want to see how you mounted the engine and pedals. looks good
Those bikes are sick, sick sick, the geometry on them is almost flawless, and to have one running the upgradeable e50 is awesome.
Love it.
thanks man! and thanks to everyone for your comments. here is a pic of what it looked like when i got it. took about a week from this pic to now...
liked it better when ya got it... jk man that peds gonna be SICK what size jet you running in that?
Hey fast, i got an extra long swing arm bolt and shaved some bike crank arms and just slid them on to the swing arm bolt just to have a place to put my feet. after about a month of ridding with em i ditched them for some BMX pegs in the same place. its much nicer and looks a bit cleaner. i just bump start it.
O what i've done to it.
Metra 65 port matched
15mm bing 92 jet
Hi flow air filter
Techo Proma (hand to make a bracket as the pipe in on the puch side now)
Puch Magnum EBRs fitted to the Sebring triple tree. (the puch one was to short)
Magnum adjustible rear shocks.
Set o snowflakes
bike kick stand
hand pin stripe (one shot is a bitch to work with)
looking at doing a single swing arm mono shock this winter.
SO glad so see another Sebring Puch mutant.
replace a morini with a puch it dont make no sense
36.3mph on the flats. gps. stock e50, stock tiny bing, drilled intake, tecno pipe. takes off real good too! i'm pretty happy so far...
I have a sebring frame I'm gonna mount a puch engine to, as well. Are the front engine mount tabs stock sebring? I want to use the stock front engine mounts, but it looks like the engine is gonna sit too far forward on mine. It's originally a morini equipped sebring as well.
Rode this beast yesterday a little bit, rides out nice. Accelerates pretty good. I am impressed with the work. It will be nice.
its way better now salty! drilling out the intake really livened it up all over. accelerates quicker and more top end like almost 10mph more top end! i think the whole intake is holding me back... seems like she still wants to go faster. as for the mounts, they are stockish... they are the perfect width stock but the engine would be in your front wheel. i cut the stock mounts off, cut a chunk out of the middle, then welded back on. bottom mounts are custom. good luck on your build! and thanks for the compliment salty
you could get some buck nutty gear ratios with that set up.
buck. nutty.
