You made a good choice from AGK.
Just a note: both ends of my shaft are threaded and have washers and bolts installed to keep it all together.

latest progress on the roadmaster: I tapped out the jackshaft ends and used bolts and washers to hold everything together, instead of the locking collars. feel alot better about the cvt now. great idea from culver city classic thanks. also i replaced all the bolts on the jackshaft mounts to a propper length. still waiting on carb and flywheel, should be in after christmas. that will give me time to to install a petcock on the tank.

well things have been going kind of slow on the bike again. My carb is on backorder.I have been seriously thinking about brakes on this bike.. I want drum brakes as they look cool a give that vintage look i have a front sturmy archer front drum wheel im going to use but im not digging a coaster brake for back brakes i been wanting to do a drum rear wheel like sportcar pat has on his sportsman flyers but i didnt know what to do! guess what? i figured it out i finnally built a rear drum brake rim with a roadmaster drum. now that i can do this i want to get the drum hub i really want to use.. heres a picture of the roadmaster wheel..

That bike looks incredible!
That rear fender takes away from the overall look of the bike and it's racing lines....
VERY nice build though

Looking really nice... Make sure that slide on the carb is all the way down before you start it or you will have a wild horse on you hands... Till ya hit the kill switch.
You are going to be hooked on the performance...

took the roadmaster out on its maiden voyage. Even with all the snow i couldnt resist,never went above 15mph.The bike feel super torquey any throttle bursts and it would break traction. i know its snowy but you can just tell. No china girl will ever pull like this thing does. Some people have been saying these engines vibrate maybe at real high rpms but the ride i took today it rode real smooth. No hand numbing vibes. still have a lot to do. discovered a pin hole leak in tank that sucks!!also its idling a little high.just go over all the fastners. i cant wait till the streets get clear..
You da man glennbo...you are going to like the way this bike pulls. Took my race bike out today and did not realize how fast it is...it moves.. Keep us updated
Race bike? Fast? Are you serious Jeff? Which race bike?
Nice job Glenn, you're gonna dig that motor more than you can imagine! Watch yourself when the roads dry up......you will break traction as the front wheel aims for the sky, seriously. Have fun and keep it coming!
