Default Re: Rotten Orange build - Gary Fisher Aquila shifter buildup!

Now its time for the fun part! Test fitting the engine to the frame with the shift kit installed:

I removed the left side bearing plate, the clutch cover, the large sprocket on the shaft and to allow the engine to be temp fited to the frame with the jackshaft in place.

Here is the engine sitting on the bike with the new engine mounts mocked up where they should be sitting:


The clearances are very tight, but it looks like its going to work on my bike, even with the custom engine mounts:


Less than 1/8 between the right side bearing plate and the tire lugs!


Alignment looks pretty good. Its a straight shot from the drive sprocket to my outer sprocket. This will be adjusted as needed when the freewheel sprocket assembly is installed on Monday.
