Aluminum bike, Dax engine, SBP Shifter, New Powder

[i-paint]

I recently disassembled my bike and powder coated every piece I could. I PC'd the cylinder, head, ( I didn't do the lower assembly, it is painted) breather, manifold, engine covers, all the SBP shifter parts, the crank arms, chainring, motor mounts, exhaust pipe, clutch cable spring, clutch lever, brake levers, all high gloss black. The breather is red. My photo skills don't do the powder coating justice. If you click on the pic after it opens, to zoom in, they are a little clearer.

I bought this bike at K-Mart. It had a couple of scratches on it as most of their bikes do. I asked for the manager and told him the bike was damaged but I would buy it at a reduced price. He sold it to me for $99.99. It was marked $140.00. I saved $50.00 on a Schwinn Searcher the same way. It doesn't hurt to ask sometimes.

Also I found when I stripped the paint only the front half of this bike is aluminum! The rear is steel.

Stealth! I'm digging it!

That frame is a tight fit and you did a great job.
I like the coil being mounted below the engine.

Very sweet, definitely a tight fit. If I may make a suggestion, you may want a half link for your jackshaft to chainring chain. Looks pretty loose and it doesn't appear you have much room to slide the engine up to tighten it. Glad you were able to get your freewheel off the crank for PC. LOL

Thats a really great looking bike. Red and black looks great. Nice build...

[toytime]

Very nice work. I don't know how you managed to get the parts back onto the axle of the jackshaft, it must of been a lot of work with the powder coat on there.
Oh, by the way, one of us has the chains on the wrong way at the crankset. I hope it's you...lol

im likin how you hid the gas tank!

I say it looks very, very nice.

I'll bet it goes like the wind. Looks to me like your chain tension is fine, but maybe it looks loose to Ghost-Ilikemychainsupertight-0! The set-up looks good, but I don't know why you have a 2nd lock collar outside on the left side of your jackshaft

Now I have the 4th coolest shifter bike, Datz510, Clotho and now i-paint got me beat.

Nice chain adjustment.

Pablo, he is using the collar on the left and the small sprocket on the right to capture the bearings. He has his bearings swapped around. Probably was helpful with 1st gen kits but with the new stuff not necessary but functional.

Man I want to ride that thing. It looks fast standing still. Great Job!

You are right that those are 4 fine and clean bikes. However DetonatorTuning has the most radical use of your Shifter kit.
