I installed the new seat on the solex, a large improvement from the previous seat. I kind of like the color, maybe I’ll paint the bike to match.

Today I started trying to figure out how to run rear axle mounts for the scooter. I think I’m going to use steel bushings pressed into a 2″ long pipe. Each “axle carrier” will bolt to the frame rail, to allow the wheel to be removed easily. I’ve been thinking about the motor as well. I think I’ll use a horizontal shaft 3.5hp briggs and stratton for the sake of simplicty.
