Motorized Boardtrack racer.

[Big Fat Whitewalls]

The John Deere bike. I don't know what it started out as. The plan is to turn this into a motorized Boardtrack racer style bike. Here's what I started with, and then some mock up with the parts I plan on using. The handle bars are off my JC Higgins, I don't know if I like them upside down, or rightside up.

Check out this crazy sprocket, I won't be using it.

If the sprockets original its a CCM, I dont know anything about them but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Nice stance on this one.It's gonna be cool. 8)

Cool build so far 8) If you plan on using one of the chinese 2 strokes be prepared for bolts always coming loose. I would suggest putting rubber in between the frame and motor mounts to help with vibration. It's a cool frame, I don't want to see it get ruined by a rattling engine.

Maybe a little Lock-Tite? :idea:

Lock tite won't do it. These things vibrate so much it rattles the toughest bolts loose. I've seen these motors snap frames at the motor mounts, the vibration just sheers the frame like butter.

I'm not using the Chinese motor, I have something else, but it's a secret, at least until I figure out if it will work.

Maybe a 20's HD single cylinder?

Seems to be a wealth of experts on this form of cycle madness there

I pushed a 5/8th deep well socket in before the seat post when i saw mine starting to crack
