all american ride that would be sweet
are you talkin about motor as well?
it shouldn't be too difficult
we got Evan for motor mounts and trannys and tensioners and whatever else he decides to fab up
Manic for clamshell and sprockets (i feel he needs a competitor in that dept)
but what about gas tank and twist grip throttle (i very much dislike my chinease twist)
am i forgetin any other essentials
Really the throttle, rear sprocket and the motor are the only chinese items. The bearings and chain are made in Japan; a reaonably ethical 1st world country e.g. decent economy, honest dollar, civil liberties etc. Materials aren't cheap, and neither labor, so keep it basic and simple in manufacture!
I gotta say that I'm happy w/ the throttles that I've been using. They're cheap Chinese ATV throttles that I put real motorcycle grips on and they just work. I choke to kill (no button).
I'll post some progress Fotos this eve Jared. Some hopefully exciting developments in store for you, I'll pm you w/ details!
Dan nice Fotos! I like your "StayPuff" exhaust!
It does not look too much like an m/c; it gives proper homage to the ilk while retaining the integral motorbicycle componentry! Pedal once in a while, even though you don't have to and smile your totally legal!
If I may suggest something I noticed in the wheel Foto. drop one of the hose clamps and move one into position where it has some leverage on the end of the drum keeper rather than at the base i.e. mount clamp furthest from axle.
