Just saw this build for the first time. Love the mounting setup...just a well thought out, clever build. I hope it does what you want it to on the race track.

I appreciate it sb. I've been checking out your builds and getting some ideas for future projects. They're all so cool. I really like the sidecar.
but, but but, wait......I had to race against him and his grandson (Samford and Son) at Willow on a 49cc HS and a 124ccTandem and they were using 5-6hp Briggs and Stratton's
We will hopefully meet in the ultimate race for a showdown spectacular! I'm confident of the outcome......
no mean to threadjack, I truly love your build Dale!
I made a simple kill switch attached to the coil. That will keep my bars uncluttered. Then formed an exhaust pipe from a piece of tubing that already had a nice elbow on one end. Still need to fab a flange to bolt to the cylinder.
My buddy, Dan, lightened up my jachshaft housing and radiused the cap for a different look.

Your bike is looking great, you've got skilled machinists as well as yourself....I wish you luck.

I received my Comet belt today and also fit the exhaust pipe.
Then I made a front brake cable with a custom bracket to guide it,
Your triple tree forks looks like a chihuahua -- ha ha -

I made and installed a bracket for a tachometer and kill button today, but still need to hook them up and test for vibration. Waiting on a Jammer Cobra clutch to replace the Comet Torque-A-Verter that I could never get dialed in. I know, you guys told me it probably wouldn't work on my small motor, but I had to try it for myself. I can still use it on a Briggs motor.
Thanks, Harry, I'm having a lot of fun with this one. As you know, building and experimenting is what keeps us going.
Thanks, Easy, just wanted to try something different.

I've used a lot of moped hubs laced into 26'' wheels. This bike has 28 spoke 24'' wheels with moped hubs. I'm pretty sure Puch forks will fit the head tube on a full size vintage bike frame. This little 24'' had it's own set of problems to overcome.
