Building something close to a Bobber... I think?

[mikeonabike]

What did you use for rims and hubs? What are you doing about brakes? I am very interested in rear cog mount, you simplified engine drive, pedal drive very nicely.

Here's the finished bike. The headlight ended up being a to large but it was a shot.
All in all it was a great build but I had some major vibrations at high speed. I'm guessing the home-made sprocket adapter. I recently cut everything apart and started over.


I added an upgraded clutch cover to match the head.

As far as the forks go, I fabricated them. Not really the best idea but I wanted them to match the frame.

I ordered the rims, hubs and wheels from http://www.choppersus.com/store/. I only have pedal brakes. FYI it pedals like crap... the engine is a must

Version 2.0 Not quite as cool as version 1.0 but much less vibration at top speed.


The kick stand is pretty low tech but work great!

Still the most awesome bike! I actually liked that giant headlight on it though! :mrgreen:

How is the front axel atached?

Kind of reminds me of the old Californa with the springs in the rear and pull insted of push http://www.antiquemotorcycle.org/index. ... ummer-2011

Just machined slots like regular forks.

Does that little smoker make it go with those heavy wheels/tires?

Put a 3hp 4 stroker on that thing! It's tough enough!

Looks real good.

That looks amazing!! :shock: Really great bike.

Great job. Definitely one of the coolest motorbicycles I've seen.

Looks great! I like it. You say it pedals like crap, you may want to lower the gear ratio, my mongoose beast only ran a 36 tooth sprocket stock and now runs a 32 and rides great, front looks like yours is around a 44 (Can't tell).
