Default The "Orfan Annie" from RedRock Cycles

Here where we live in WV. we get together for Hot Rod Rallies and a bunch of us bring vintage bicycles, motorbikes and street racers.The "Orfan Annie" is a little Ditty I put together as a street racer for this rally season.As the season progresses this bike will do some morphing.We have another one in the wings which will have all Disc Brakes,Multi-speed Jackshaft setup,Boost/Nitrous kit as well as a racing exhaust."Orfan Annie" is for testing and banging around,so far so good as far as performance.Were trying a variety of sprocket sizes from Manic Mechanic and a better chain tensioner.Basically were all using PowerKing motors in order to start out on the same playing field but,other than that it's all out on the bolt-on parts and mods.Take a look...

I do like the bike. I definately would ride it, but the rubber would have to go. I love the choice of fueltanks you've designed to use on your bikes. Could you give us a closeup pic of fuel petcock on your fueltank. Thanks, rustymullet

I am very worried about the chain guide being on the top chain on the engine drive side

Fear not its a spring-loaded tensioner and works quite well.I try to keep the chain taut as possible and use the tensioner to prevent throttle down chain slap and backlash...Cheech
