Cool. Thanx, @Pondo I didn't have anything to go by so I found a couple of pics where the 26" wheel and fork were a good profile relative to the viewing angle and took a measurement off the printed page. Then extracted that measurement to determine the distance from the hub to the pivot point - hence around 15" to 16". That method isn't perfect but it gets me close..........was this TMI?? 
Oh BTW, the fork in your pic has the 2 main blades whereas I have seen some with 2 main blades and 2 "minor" blades. Is that significant?
TMI? Not at all. Excellent deduction my dear Watson. Well played.Cool.

I think the difference is that my fork is from a modern cheapo Schwinn, the 2 blade version is probably from when they were still a US company and better quality.
I might almost be ready to pull something in. Been really hectic around here. Between graduation, a free golf cart, epileptic seizures, kidney stones, moving my daughter across the 4 states, 80th Bday for my dad and driving over 2200 miles in the last 8 days I'm pretty wore out.
My Creative juices are non-existant at this point. I have two ready for something. Just not sure what yet. It is my 10 year buildoff anniversary,my first one was BONINE....
I can Customize this:
Or this:
Got them both for $$free.99 along the way back from Mantua. Was stranded in Beaver on Monday for 5 hours.

Trike!!
Wow, that is an eventful year so far man! Jump in and celebrate 10 years of build offs though!! Of those two, I think the trike offers more options to do you magic and have fun!
Or blend them together and make a motorized trike.
"Or blend them together and make a motorized trike."
I'll second that!

Yes the last 40 days have been quite eventful. Good, bad and in between.
I've given a little thought into combining the two. That 4-stroke, although much quieter than the 2-strokes is also 3" wider than the 2 strokes.
I will start with the trike as soon as I come up with a plan. Budget is tight. I will change classes and Add the engine after, if there is time.
Primary Goal will be to complete
