Hello all,
I've spent a few days on this new build and finally have the engine mounted.
I did up a set of Ridley type mounts...they are a little Frankenstein-ish, (I made them on the manual mill instead of the CNC), but the motor isn't going to fall off.
I think I have figured out how to make these universal so that everyone will be able to get the benefit of this type of mount. Next build I will have more time to sort things out. This bike is going to be a present for one of my customers' wife.
I will be doing another build right after Christmas.
The other thing I did to this bike so far is a clam shell type sprocket mount...It worked out really slick...I made a sprocket to go with it, but I think I'm going to have to make another one with about 3/8" offset.
I have a bunch more stuff I'm going to add to this build...I'll keep you posted.
When it is done, it will add a whole new dimension to the name Dan gave this bike, "Big Meanie".
Jim
