Briggs bike build
- Thread starter oppanoia
- Start date
I was a hard decision choosing between the tanks. The red tank is going to work a lot better with the over all look of the build.
clutch works really well and is quiet
compact and reliable
only issue is i origionally used a aluminum front pully
steel is alot better because its more slippery and therefor doesnt burn out the belt
since changing it to steel i have not had an issue

Thats cool man, thanks for the pics, but so not to hijack the thread you should (if you havent already) start a thread. Id be interested in seeing and knowing more. It must handle well with the motor mounted that low. This build seems to have a lot of unique touches. Nice job man
Steel front pulley slips more? Never thought about it, but thanks, that may help me out. I have an alloy front pulley and im having issues with the belt gripping when i want it to slip. I may try and find a steel one
the bike handles very well and is fast i had a sturmy archer 3 speed hub in the rear wheel for a while the thing was crazy it monoed in first and had amazing acceleration
i might have to resurect it just got into adelaide from LA
and its sitting in back yard in the rain for the last few years

Well back on the topic of the thread.. msrfan and I got a lot done on my bike today. The belts are almost a perfect fit, we had to crimp the frame and do some more machining on the clutch arm and main drive pulley to have enough clearance for the rear belt. I had the seat post welded but after putting it on the bike I think the seat still sits to high(more r&d) . The last picture is of the reverse side if the slipper clutch, the set screws allow you to adjust the sag out of the clutch keeping the alignment from the main drive to the wheel as straight as possible. The set up is untested but I know it will work great. Also installed the tension spring. All and all a very productive day ,thanks a lot to my midway city pal!!

That's such a nice build. Did you flip the seat post clamp around, that will lower the seat some.
Made some really good progress over the past few weeks. The clutch is close to being finished there is just some fabrication to do on the cable arm. I still have to get the exhaust tubing bent and the flange welded on. I think I will have the clutch cable arm finished buy the first part of the week and I can take care of the rest of the welding on a lunch break. I took the advise of CulverCityClassic about rotating the seat hardware doing so I achieved the top line I was going for thanks CCC for the suggestion. I would like to get working on the engine in the next few weeks. Hearing her turn over the first time will be great. The wife is tired of listing to me talk about it.

Looking good! Another lean and mean briggs machine.
You gotta be racing that at Grange on Oct 22nd, right?
There are three B & S already and Greg needs some competition.

I hope to be racing the 22nd. I will be there regardless if the bike is finished or not. If it is Greg doesn't stand a chance(sorry Greg). Kenda K1016 Kiniption 26 Inch Tire at BikeTiresDirect

Today was a busy day for the build with the help of msrfan we made great progress. I had the exhaust pipe bent last week, I wasn't sold on it totally until today. The pipe isn't welded yet but I made a clamp for it and will visit the welder on my lunch break tomorrow. The throttle cable was a little tricky but after some brainstorming I think it turned out real nice.
