Thanks for the offer, Bruce.
I still need to get out to the garage to stare at the little booger for a while and think about what exactly I'm going to do. When I get a better handle on that, I will let you know about the tires. A pitbike engine would be something, but the Briggs I have is a new take-off engine with 0 hours, that my boss told me to 'Make it go away'. So I did.
I plan to have a basic centrifugal clutch drive system and decent brakes that I do some minor off road stuff and that the grandkids can putz around the yard on.
I do think that I will steepen up the head tube a couple degrees and shorten the front fork to bring the front wheel in a bit. I also see some issues with the design of the swing arm that will need to be ironed out. Plus, the wimpy the 12mm rear axle will be replaced by a 5/8" one. So, opportunities to use the plasma cutters and welders abound.
Also, the grandson has insisted that I paint it blue.
