It is a western flier trophy. the fenders are in pretty rough shape but the chain guard is OK, still have all the parts. i plan on picking up this project again after i get some paychecks saved and can afford a welder! this should make things a lot easier and allow me to really improve the...

Too many other projects and not enough money so the bike is backburnered for the foreseeable future. ive got a car to keep running (87 vw cabriolet) a car to put in storage and start working on (my 54 olds) a scooter to strip the rest of the way and primer/paint/assemble (62 lambretta LI125) a...

I saw one in much worse condition than mine sell for 169$ on ebay plus 70 shipping. i bought mine for significantly less than that. but if its in good shape i reckon 100 wouldnt be too bad, couldnt hurt to try and offer a little less tho :wink:

Pictures first. then i'll tell you what i know :lol: Well there you have it! my 1969 stingray, i suppose you could call it a rat bike because its definitely not a show bike :lol: The seat is a messinger off of a 60s columbia playbike, the chain guard is from an unknown hawthorne bike...

my 69 stingray. i've had it a couple years, picked it up at an auction on the cheap.

bought this late 70s schwinn hurricane at a garagesale saturday and just spent a couple hours cleaning it up, so i figured i'd snag a few pics to share with you nice folks :D i'll let the pictures do the talking. I got a very good deal i think :mrgreen: a few details, the blue bike...

managed to snag some pictures of the motor showing the port shapes and positions. i've already figured out several areas where i can make a pretty significant improvement to the flow characteristics of this motor. i'm probably going to be pretty conservative with the porting, just trying to make...

nothing terribly exciting. i've gotten the little tecumseh torn down most of the way. The only holdup is I dont have a correct size external torx socket to remove the connecting rod from the crank, so the rotating assembly is still in the motor. once i get that out i can start porting. I've been...

my tecumseh is pretty much the same. its got a clean bore and i can still see crosshatching! it was in a snowblower so i imagine its got pretty low hours on it. but there is side to side play where the connecting rod attaches to the crankshaft. As far as i know this is fairly common and nothing...

you could try to find a sprocket that threads onto the hub with the correct tooth count and spacing to line up with the holes in that larger sprocket you have. bolt em together. the 72t sprocket i plan to use on my boardtracker will bolt right up to a 16t sprocket. and do you have the slanted...

I've worked with fiberglass a little before, and I'm VERY familiar with working with plastics and body fillers, epoxies and the like. this should be a breeze for me, lay up two halves separately , drill holes for the tank straps and glass in threaded pieces. glass in a brass filler neck and...

just bought fiberglass mat and resin, expect exciting things (and more pictures) in a few days!

To fill in a little detail about the plans for the motor, it will get a little intake and exhaust porting, transfer port will be enlarged (its a nasty cast hole right now) a better carb, somewhere between 15 and 19mm and properly jetted will be added. right now i'm leaning towards a 16mm bing...

Here is the update i promised! first the motor i'm using in detail! sharpie marks are metal that will likely be removed will be cleaning up the casting stuff, some dremel work and more filing should get it good looking and just for kicks

your dad has a harl? color me jealous! pistachio green, ginster yellow, tornado red and chagall blue to be exact! lol. those are probably the rarest mk3s around, he's lucky to have one

nope, its a BBS kit and (iirc) BBS RZ wheels :D and for those curious i have a thread on the152 about the car as well my 87 cabriolet thread on the152 forums more progress to report on the bike soon

OK! here is what the above picture is showing! Sorry for the poor quality. what I've done is cut off the seat tube just above the top tube of the frame and then inserted the handlebar stem in the seat tube, ground off the handlebar clamp, modified the seat clamp to fit, and attached the whole...

little teaser, more pictures and details tomorrow, i need some sleep! (working in the garage till 12:30 at night for the win!)

little bumpdate here for you fine people, did some work out in the heat today, got most of the parts i want yanked off the ladies bike and the forks and wheels swapped over to my frame, i need to do a little grinding on my stem to get it to fit in the older forks but everything else went pretty...

they're cool little motors, i snagged this one at a garagesale for like 5 bucks years ago and just now got around to putting it to good use :D would love to see some videos of em in use! and just for fun :D
