Wz001

[doug713]

After seeing Pats Design Insperation post i've decided to post a picture of Sportman Flyer WZ001 under construction.It was intended to be a boardtracker.After getting the bike in my garage and throwing some parts at it this is what i ended up with. The only change to Pats work,which is top notch i might add,is to the clutch spring bracket.Pat had it welded to the frame verticaly which required stretching the spring and hooking it in the bracket. I cut it off and welded a new one on horizontaly and attached the spring to a threaded eye bolt making it a breeze to install and adjust the belts.I believe Pat said he would be using a similar arraingement on future builds.

those forks are bad-a$$ !!!
are you bringing it to DR ??? I would love to see it

 

[doug713]

Yes it will be at the deathrace for the show along with a whizzer powered panther which i plan to race

Doug
On the Panther frame it looks like you taken the upper bar of a Schwinn girls bike and reconfigured the lower bar for more room. Would you mind doing a closeup? I've been thinking that way myself as I have a girls bike here and had been eyeballing that myself. Was it welded or brassed? Have insets inside frametube for strenght at the weld?
Thanks
Mike

Thats exaclty what i did.I cut sections off a seatpost and put them inside the tube for strength and MIG welded it. I'll take some closup pictures of what i did at the bottom bracket later when i have more time.

Hey. That'd be great!
Thanks
Mike

Definately a cool looking cruiser, Doug. Those forks are nice. How about a close-up picture? The Panther looks like an interesting project as well and the modified down tube will open it up for a Whizzer engine nicely. Oh, my brother has been working on a Hipo Whizzer intake manifold. Maybe he can make a couple extras for us.

Heres a picture of the bottom bracket with motor and mounts welded in.What i did was cut the bb on the girls frame in half flip it over and weld on to the men bb.this covered the hole from where the downttube was removed and gave me the downward angle i needed to attach the girls tube

Very Kool Kruiser Doug, Pat just finished up my WZ frame and should be at the house when I get back from this eastcoast run.... ;-)

ChopperDave With the autoclutch the belt i used on the front was AX27(29 inch) and rear wasAX66 (68inch).The rear is quite a bit longer than stock because the engine sits lower and Pats idler.

What kind of fork is that?
