Motorized Felt Revolver #2

Venice Motor Bikes · Aug 5, 2011

I'm building another Felt Revolver & I'm gonna make this a 'build thread'.

I'm gonna make this one easy & use one of SportsCarPats 'keg' tanks instead of a 'in frame' tank.
This will have a full ported engine & all the good stuff!! (^)

Here's the starting pic... A stock bike with added 3-G slick tires & no chain guard...

Here's a little update... I installed one of SportsCarPats black hub adapters, & I started porting a new engine for it today.

Thats a nice black hub adaptor. Sportscarpat sure has some fine products. I think i need me one of those for my Whippet project when funds permit.

Look forward to seeing how this turns out Venice.....

Today I busted out a new Raw engine & tore it all apart to open up & blend the transfer ports.
Here's a pic half way through the job showing how the case, barrel & gasket are starting to all have the same shape. (The yellow tape is to keep metal shavings out of the bearings.)

I was wondering, can you reuse the crankcase center gasket, or do you install a new one?

You can reuse the gasket if it comes off without any damage.
The gasket will usually stick to the cases & tear on used engines.

I've decided that I'm gonna build this bike similar to the Slater... I'm gonna install a SBP HD shifter kit & I just bought a Sturmey 8-speed disc brake hub to go with it! (so off comes the black sprocket.)
I'm trying a Sturmey hub this time because it has a 'twist grip' shifter & not a 'thumb' shifter.
Here's a link to the hub... Sturmey Archer

Please tell me a 4 stroke or Morini is going on such a great looking bike.

I didn't get a lot done today, but I did get the engine reassembled & painted... I'll post a pic soon.

Here's a pic of the finished engine.
After carefully measuring the piston top on the RAW engine, I determined that it will work with the black Pirate head that I have; so I installed it! (^)

Now you can all get a close look at my highly organized work bench! laff

This is my dream bike!

I want to put a s6s or even an S6C with radiator on it!

Venice Motor Bikes · Aug 18, 2011

I got the new Sturmey 8-speed disc brake rear hub today! (^)

As soon as I get some free time i'll lace it into the wheel!

harry76 · Aug 18, 2011

They sure are a nice looking hub, and must make for a nice riding bike

Venice Motor Bikes · Aug 30, 2011

I know it's going slow, but I managed to get the Sturmey hub laced into the wheel today... I'll lace a front disc hub into the other wheel soon.

They're 3G 'Slicky G's... http://www.3gbikes.com/parts/tires_and_tubes/silcky_g_tires/silcky_g_tires_black.html

I've been working on a customers bike all week, but I also managed to get a little more done on the Revolver today.
I built the front wheel & I installed a Felt F-005 triple tree fork that I had laying around.
