I'm almost ready to start my build, going to pick up my frame from the welder on Saturday. Also going to see my dad's 1983 Honda CR 480 that he's finished building. I call second ride! Anyway, I was wondering if I could get away with a rag joint for a while. I will upgrade the spokes, but I don't have the $ to get a worksman yet. I'm going to fab up everything for it, DIY jackshaft and custom cast aluminum mount to save $. Btw I do custom cast aluminum stuff so hit me up if need one of a kind parts. Business is really slow... Also do you think using a v belt and tensioner will work well as a clutch? I hate automatics and once again scimping to save $. Really like the added control of a manual clutch, not to mention safer if the throttle sticks or something. Another great thing is I might be able to bump start like the HT's and get rid of the pull start for less weight and I hate the look of the pull start and slimmer so I might not need wide an extra wide BB. So what do the pros think?
