Well built, nice fabrication work and frame choice, classy machine!

Long pipe short pipe... I am going for torque. Working on a new rear wheel setup. Working on the engine to jackshaft chain tensioner setup. So far smooth...

 

[runnermike]

Hey Jeff....this is water cooled, correct? Where are you planning on mounting the radiator?

 

[culvercityclassic]

Things are moving along well. Working on a new design to use a sprocket adapter on a coaster brake hub and also have a disk setup attached to the adapter. It is done and looks like it will work good. I was going to use a disk hub but it's too wide @ 135mm so that's for another build.

Got my wheels today from Venice Motor Bikes, they are killer looking felts with a front disk laced in. Thanks Bro....

I guess you didn't want the felt rims I had for you for free? You would have had to lace them to the hubs you wanted with larger spokes of course, although they are laced to the stock hubs with the stock ss spokes.

Sorry Scotto, I worked with Norm on a deal. Next time...

Sorry Scotto, I worked with Norm on a deal. Next time...

No prob....was just wondering.

 

[dmb]

ready for the 2 stroke extravaganza?

 

[culvercityclassic]

Working on the brake setup. Coaster setup done, now to make a caliper mount.

 

[runnermike]

Looking good....real good Jeff!

 

[dmb]

?que soy fiesta jefe?

 

[culvercityclassic]

Some updated pictures. Chain tensioner on jackshaft completed, welded up brake rod and got a Dyno Super Slick mounted to the 50mm wide felt wheel. Just the way I wanted it...

 

[culvercityclassic]

I was able to finish the rear brake combo, sure was a lot of work to make it work. Now to figure out the radiator mounting and the chamber location.

 

[runnermike]

This thing is gonna be a monster!!

 

[dmb]

wow! yer a wizz with that er... bandsaw.

 

[skitchfish]

Oh my! I was salivating over the pic of rear brakes. That thing is dream maker.

 

[Gbrebes]

Man, that is some top notch fabricating right there! That brake caliper bracket sure is pretty, it looks factory made. Did you get a CNC machine? Where did you put it, in the kitchen?

Just kidding. Looking forward to seeing you go about 100mph on that thing.
