Re: Punsun HD chopper

Finally got the motor in and running. Actually seems to vibrate less than the rubber mounted Punsun. Maybe this Longfar has better balance.

I need to finish the primary.

Vid of it running on B100:

Re: Punsun HD chopper

Klondike_kid that is my kind of bike! I do want to put a turbo on it...once I have it moving again. It was reasonable fast off the line before(rideable) and could do over 80MPH(plenty fast on a chopper). Side load bearing is a good idea. In the long run maybe a Japanese motor is even better...

Punsun parts??

Does anyone have a way to order a Punsun crank? Strange Asian websites have left me stumped. I am also interested in a complete Punsun motor if anyone has one that could be shipped to NYC USA or within a reasonable distance that I could go pick it up....

Help is most appreciated.

Slowride Stories site

These folks came by to get some B100 biodiesel for their Greaves powered Enfield that they imported from India.

They are shooting video of people in the area speaking about climate change while traveling two up on the bike.

Hi All...My Punsun doesn't seem to want to explode, so it's time to start modifying it! Does anyone have an extra flywheel for one of these lumps they'd like to sell? I'm not sure exactly which Punsun I have, and if there are any differences between them for flywheels. If anyone knows about that ple...

Fantastic bike! Managed to stick my foot in my primary one day while reaching for the kickstand...Redwing makes a fine product. I was fine(but humbled), but wrecked the belt and the rear pulley. Pricey stuff it's true!
