I'm working on my second build. I volinteered to build it for my life long best friend. His bicycle is a OP Roller he bought at Wally World. He rides a ZX10R and isn't completely sold on motor bicycles, but I'm convinced he'll come around. I want to do the best I can for him.
I'm trying to upgrade everything I touch. Right now I have two questions.
1. The strap that holds the coaster brake arm looks really flemsy. Are better ones available, or should I just make one?
2. We've decided to use the stock rag joint with the stock sprocket. My question about this is, how perfect does the sprocket need to be? My feeling is it's going to be almost impossible to get it perfect. How close does it need to be? We're using it more for experience than saving money.
