Re: 56 schwinn bfg board tracker
that exhaust really has that boardtrack look probably not the best perfomance for a 2 stroke though

Re: 56 schwinn bfg board tracker
yeah well see what happens with the exhaust... i think the stock exhaust is gross looking, and the expansion chambers are even uglier  if it doesnt work as is ill think of something else

Re: 56 schwinn bfg board tracker
yes. just wedge one crank arm in a vice or a hole or something, stick a big pipe over the other end, and bend it. one piece cranks are strong, they can take it. don't even bother heating it up. they're cold forged anyway...

Re: 56 schwinn bfg board tracker
I remember riding an old 20-24" bike at the end of the fifty's w/the cranks bowed in ,thought I was riding too hard,At the time I figured the thing was shot so I put the tires on another frame and was off again.
