There are a ton of build pix this project in the above thread. The build has drug on far to long. I know this - starting to irritate even me. The last pix of the JS box was the last time I touched the motor assisted bicycle. It was at the shop to be cut for 2 weeks and when I got it back I was on shift 2 weeks straight with one day off and I am not done with the run yet. I have off on Wednesday December 4th. This will be the first time forward progress will have occurred on this build in a about 30 days.
Bright side of my working woe is all OT goes to motor assisted bicycle parts!
And things tend to really move along when I come up for air from work. Keep the tread flagged and updates will follow on December 4th.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm very new to this motor assisted bicycle scene, so, am still learning my way around.
Here is a link to the last full length photo mock up.

That's about how she is now aside from all the mounting brackets and lighting that occurred after that pix
Just saw that Pic. It's the "Cats Pajamas"! I like that you added the Yammy tank. I'm having the same thoughts. The stocker's look too whimpy, if you know what I mean.
I'm thinking a tank like this, if I go the chopper-bobber look..

That tank is sic. But it cost a ton. eBay is my friend. Tried to PM you but it said you didn't toggle PM on.
Click my name see my threads started you can find my other builds. Most of all I build I state where I got parts from and what the cost was but you will have to read from the start and follow to the end to find the vendors etc.
The OP may spark your interest click the link below

Hi
I just checked my profile and see that PM is turned on. Being new here, perhaps, I need to do something else?
Interesting ..that "OP". I have a bid in on a '48 Hiawatha now. The frame, fenders, tank, rear rack. I like the vintage style as I mentioned. If it all goes as planned, do you mind if I load you up with ?s
yeah that tank turned out very nicely, too bad it's mounted on this......but, they are available for about $60-125, not counting the resto work and chroming, finishing etc.

Hi,
Looking through your post, you are a "force de rigueur!"
I see nice workmanship and well thought processes. However, I do realize it's a work in progress and constantly evolves. I'v been there, as well.
Still, not taking away any shine from your work......
Setting the JS into the frame. This will be the first motor assisted bicycle that I have build where mounts and JS will be welded into the frame. So excited! Last pix is shows the inside of the JS and how its held together.

My word that's an impressive sight.
That's a very neat and strong method of mounting a jackshaft.

Yeah, I like to see crafty work like this. Nice work too!
When I restored my 66 Sears Blue badge Vespa, I built a rotisserie adapter to fit my engine stand. It worked like a charm. I'm thinking I can do the same, when I get to building my motor assisted bicycle.

RedRider48; sportscarpat aka worksman flyer has such a thing with an engine stand. Its nice, especially if you have one on hand. And if you don't they cost less than a park stand.
