Sorry its been so long since Ive replied. Ive been out at sea for awhile. jj256, yes all the bearings are all still serviceable in the hub and the rear sprocket is just the front chain ring welded to a rear cog. It rides great and has enough low end to go up steep hills with ease and tops out...

Thanks for the compliments. I haven't used a GPS on it yet so I can't say for certain what the top speed is. The clutch is 12t going to 35t on the jackshaft, the other side of the jackshaft is 12t going to a 44t rear sprocket. It is geared for 36mph at 5000rpm and 25mph at 3500rpm If I did my...

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes Yeah, I know about all that...I was just hoping it wasn't going to be an issue at the lower speeds. However, after reading your concerns I decided to take the bike down a hill to see how she handled, and well it did indeed handle like .......

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes Started on the tank today and finished the brake caliper mounting bracket.

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes That is a clever way to add pedals/cranks, however I'm not planning on having any pedals at all.

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes Update: Got the motor mounts welded on to my bike and the V brake bosses welded to Mr. French's bike. Not really able to do anything else until the parts come in for the jackshaft.

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes Lets see. 49.9cc = 5hp :wink:

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes I did have an initial plan but I have since deviated a bunch. Here is one of the first drawings I did of the bike. The current build will have a different drive-line since I wont be putting pedals or a crank on. Instead sealed bearings will be...

Here she is all finished. Please read on if you want to read the process. Started building this awhile ago. I don't really have much of a plan yet, but its starting to come together. Started with a brand new schwinn on sale from target. Grinder and welder. About to make the first cut...

I've been lurking around the forum for some time now, so I guess its about time to introduce myself. Ive been building up some bikes for awhile now but never got the motivation to post anything. I'm from Cincinnati but recently moved up here to traverse city michigan, so if anyone around ever...
