Very cool and I think you should win a prize as you are the first, at least that I have seen that appears to have correctly cut out and installed the right side chain guard. Also just a tip, it appears your chain from the jackshaft to the chainring is a little loose, don't want those chains touching at speed.
Have some patience, some speed will come but you will need to do some engine mods to get much past 35mph. I would start with intake and exhaust manifold gasket and port matching. Then work on tuning your carb. After that...............tuned pipe?

| | Re: Before and after. The copper chopper.. kind of. I like that copper colour - it really suits the frame and looks very professionally done...
I concur on the chain - the last thing you want is those to have a wibble at high speed and munch things.
A highline (aka over the top of the motor) tuned pipe would really suit that build and give you more power
but arrgh - I spy an E36 methinks in the background - the bane of the british motored biker - there seems to be something about british drivers and BMW's that make them feared the length and breadth of the country..

thakn you jemma.
you guys are right it is a little loose, however removing one link makes it TOO tight, is there a thing like a half link that i could purchase (moving the motor is not an option) to take up the slack maybe
as for the right side chain cover i had to fabricate my own, just used a floor matt that's made of high density rubber foam type material, as the piece of plastic that was provided with the kit will NOT flush mount to the clutch cover when you put the little nuts in the back of it (even if you beat it in with a hammer). You guys should consider just providing a piece of high density rubberized foam material (mouse pad type material) to go on to the clutch cover and keep the same plastic piece to use as the chain guard.
yes i am definitely going to get a tuned pipe soon.
that is an e36 you see. I love that car, 16 years old and i preffer to drive it over my 5 year old audi a6. such a fun car to drive that just does what you want it to do, handles very good, never breaks, and is pretty peppy with it's little 2.5 inline six. i will likely sell my audi a6 and get an e46 to replace it, and replace the e36 with a small SUV. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
