I'm pretty sure flap disk's are world wide. I built for a long time ,before I discovered them. One on a 4'' side grinder makes it really easy to clean your welds. I tried a regular grinding wheel the other day and I can't live without flap disks. I had to stop and go buy some more.
I use them too. Can't beat 'm. There is a big difference between the cheap ones and the quality stuff too.
But i do'nt clean up the welds to much. just get the spatter off and grind down the really big blobs :mrgreen:
Heheh, yeah! Wel it'll still be slow, but a little less slow
Pedal mockup:
These are 115mm cranks, but i have enough ground clearance for 140mm cranks. I just don't have 'm yet...
And with bars
Motormounts mockup:
I'm thinking about adding a motormount that attaches to the cilinder/head. Mainly because i think it looks so flimsy likt this....
And it seems i was a little optimistic about the pedalling position...
But i guess i'll try it like this. I can always change it around a litlle. First remedy will be some wide cruiser bars. That would seriously kill the look though. We'll see.
One of the bolts holding togheter the lower casing could be used to add a extra support tube to the frame.. Just look under the engine and you will see what i mean..
the motorchain and the chain to the rear hub are also connected by 4 8mm rods through some copper tubing. so all that incredible torque won't need to go through the tiny screws.
btw, sorry about the crappy phone pictures. I'm to lazy to get out the camera these days. I'm even posting them from my phone while on the couch cause i'm to lazy to fire up the pc
:mrgreen:
