[homebuiltbikes]

Hello everybody. I just registerd in this site and cant wait to get started. I'll try to take it easy as I have a lot to learn about computers. so far so good just one unfortunate experiance. live and learn I guess. I have a bike with a motor that I built about ten years ago for my dad. he has since past away so now I have been working on it agian. I made the frame and it has a 5hp tecumseh engine. I will post some pictures as soon as I figure out how. most of all I love riding my bike. I've had many a motorcycle but right now this is what I have. just today I finished a floating mount for my front disk brakes. didnt take a picture yet. wife's camera. well I'll look around and I cant wait to hear from yall

Welcome to the forum. I don't think I've seen a floating caliper on a motorized bike yet. You may start a trend.

I use photobucket to post pics, which is mentioned here as well as how to resize. http://motorbicycling.com/f15/how-post-pictures-61.html Also if you have a cell phone w/ a cam, can email pictures to your self that do not need to be resized. On mine at least.

Its hard to see but there's a bushing under the axle nut that is tightened to the rocker. the bracket pivots on that and the tie rod on top. I replaced that tie rod with heim joints
