Hi Lurker,Did you use the same counter shaft sprocket setup on this bike that you have used on previous builds of did you design another version of it?
1/4 mile ahead of you? Yeah, right. I thought the Morini was the best engine going till I saw you running your first clone engine. A week later I had one sitting in my shop trying to figure out how to make it work. Initial plans are to see how fast she will go. My last bike could push 60 mph on Simplex tires. Now that I have H rated motorcycle rubber I guess I'll see how tall of a gear I can push. If I can push a 40t rear sprocket it should do over 80 mph. It will be interesting to see if it will still pull away from the line smoothly. I'll keep you guys posted!That is a great build Pat, you are always a 1/4 mile ahead of me... Not sure if I can catch ya...
What's the plan for this bike? What speed are you looking at? That cc of a motor, I have my speculations to what was built but will keep my mouth shut. You sure have a good guy by your side for motor work (Agk)
What do you think Pat? Will you be taking the bike?I wonder what class this build would fall into @ Bonny.
MHF
Harry, see this link below. If I'm understanding your question correctly, you are asking Pat what type of clutch he's using?WHOA!!!!!!!! That thing is bad. I love this bike. One thing though, the bike is perfect and far beyond anything i could ever build but to my eye, one small thing that looks odd to me is the silver secondary chain guard. I dig the silver primary chain guard but feel your bike would be that little bit nicer if the secondary was red. Just a small criticism, just thought id share my $0.02.
Either way one of the nicest bikes ever built here, and definitely the fastest.
Just wondering what the centrifugal clutch that you use? Ive CCC use the same clutch.
My brother Rich get's credit for pushing us in the direction of motorcycle tires. It's nice not to worry about a tire exploding at speed, and 76 mph on H rated rubber is nothing to worry about. Rims are custom drilled for our spoke selection. Hubs have a fair amount of custom parts as well with upgraded axles, backing plates and spacers. Here are a couple pictures.Pat,
Can we get a nice shot of the wheels and tires. Going with motorcycle wheels was a great idea.
