My Norco

Have a look at these pics and tell me if you think I'll get an 80cc kit in it. I wanted to print off a full size graphic of the engine that's posted at one of the sellers sites and do a mock up but my printer is being an ass.


Thanks in advance...

I think it will fit but you may have to use a 45 or 90 degree manifold for the carb to kick it off to the side.

That will be a tight fit, if it does fit.
I would love to see it when you get it done.

Thanks for the input guys...

Anyone have some engine dimensions? Like if you were describing the engine assembly as a 2D square what would it be dimensionally...

Ghost0 - I'm not sure if your affiliated with Sick Bike Parts or not but I'm guessing you may know something about their product given your sig links to them. Anyway I downloaded and just finished watching the long video they have posted and what a cool setup! Also IMHO it's a very practical setup too that makes better use of the engine and a multi speed bicycle's drive train for the days when you encounter some big hills or want to pull bike trailer filled with groceries, camping gear or whatever. Another thought I have is that since with my build I'm going to try and conceal everything as much as possible using fab'd up lexan shrouds, in frame tank, frame bags etc etc I'm thinking if I could eliminate the dead giveaway chain leading to that oh so conspicuous extra sprocket on the back wheel it would be of great benefit for one wishing to keep a low profile

What do you think the chances are of stuffing one of SBP's kits in the space I have?


Cheers...

If anyone has a ruler handy and is not too far from their machine I'd really appreciate the 2 dimensions I've exampled on the graphic

Many many thanks !!!

Yes I am from SBP. The Shift Kit doesn't really change the required mounting dimensions for the engine. The two issues I see with the frame are the oversized downtube and the distance between your rear tire and seat tube. The Shift Kit almost requires that you do not drill your frame for the front mount. However since your frame is so tight some of the other front mount solutions will require you raise your engine which you have no room to do on that tight frame. We are in the process of designing a new universal front mount that will solve most of the front mount issues. You also need about 1.5 to 2 inches of space between your seat tube and rear tire depending on the tires width. If you have any more question send me a PM or an email via the website.

Thanks Ghost0...

I have the ability to machine the front engine mount off and fab up something else...and given the size of the down tube on that particular frame and the other frames I have I had thought from the beginning that I would likely have to work something out in that respect. My mind is very much made up with regards to driving the back wheel via the front chainring and at the very least I'll be wanting one of SBP's freewheel BB sets
