Default Re: Summer contest

Today i took the engine that was bolted on the v part of the frame. i lined up the engine with the rear sprocket and welded it on. When i spun the rear tire the chain fell off at a high speed to the left. The sprocket that i bought could be flipped so that it stuck out. i flipped the sprocket and the chain stayed on. It took a long time for me to get the engine straight because i did not have a jig or any thing like that. Once i had it welded the v on i did not think that it would be strong enough so what i did was weld a bar connecting the three bars together. Once i did that i cut the neck off another bike. the neck as i call it is the part under the handlebars that allows the front forks to turn right and left. i used this for the pivot on my swing arm. What i had to do was weld the pivot on to the front bar attached to the frame then i had to weld two bars on each side of the pivot. The two bars then had to weld on to the neck that the front fork goes through. It is hard to explain so i will post a pick.
