I love your chain stays. I really hope this thing turns out for you. It's looking great so far!

I'd forget that fire wagon paint job. Paint it thin and flat, feathering down to nothing at the joints and where sheet metal intersects. Buff shine it, give it a salted vinegar bath and leave it out in the rain. Lather, rinse, repeat. :mrgreen:

DONE!!! :mrgreen: After two days of marathon garage sessions and help from my boy, The Indian Board Track Racer is complete! I was so jazzed that I rode it in the rain today just to try it out. I need better weather. Check out the brass shift gate.

Thank you. I think I am going to show, barring weather. Rain would suck. My Son will ride the USAAF bike and my Wife will ride her City bike. Should be fun to get out on Turkey Day.

That is quite a power plant. Tractor? If that thing has a reverse gear it would be great with a side hack build.

Re: Cobrafreak's board track racer project now COMPLETED!!!

Yep it has reverse neutral and whole nine yards, it came off of an old cushman airport plane tote, puts out about 8hp according to a site i went to. I was thinking of a shaft driven bike but that would defeat the purpose of the pedal drive kinda

 

[cobrafreak]

Re: Cobrafreak's board track racer project now COMPLETED!!!

It just depends on the gear ratio. I have seen shaft drive pedal bikes before. If it's not too steep you can do it. Or have a shaft into a differential and then back to a chain final drive.

Re: Cobrafreak's board track racer project now COMPLETED!!!

Thats a good idea, i just got to find a way to execute it, its gonna be one monster to keep up pedaling, the engines iron haha, how much did your end up weighing?

 

[cobrafreak]

Re: Cobrafreak's board track racer project now COMPLETED!!!

Not exact, but we estimate around 90 lbs +/- 10.
