HF Contest ...or any bike with a 4 stroke!

[2dawgs]

Dan,

I going to use my ReSicycle rat rod & a push trailer to match the design style of the ReSicycle. Here's a few pics of my entry. The 2nd pic is a homemade pocket/mini bike frame I picked up; the 3rd pic is the design I am going for.

BTW: Using the HF 6.5hp (thanks for the pusher idea).

Dan here is my entry if I can get it finished. And if I can get a engine mounted on it. The last pic is what it is supposed to look like.

Recumbents! New category. I saw only one RMB in person. Was really cool. Still entering you other MB too? I have no idea what category she would be in but think similar to Max's. Extended frames?

Trying my first FD, so gonna enter that as well. Some great ideas around for em and was shocked to ride one. A lot smother then I was expecting.

2dawgs you really have the MB addiction bad don't you LOL
Cheers my friend
Terry

My first MB was a recumbent, I really like the comfort but I have to build my own because they cost so much. Counting the trike I have three and have built 5 all together.

Dan,

Did some surgery on the pocket/mini frame and mockup of engine. Had to lose the softtail suspension and make it a hardtail to fit the HF 6.5hp.

 

[2dawgs]

Terry,

Yes, I admit it: "I am a bike builder addict".

Cheers,

Steve

 

[Terry Blow]

Steve I really liked your original idea with the trailer looking like a vintage trailer with storage and the engine hidden put some kind of blower cooling in it ad you are set

 

[2dawgs]

Terry,

Still got that trailer design in mind for another build; just thought adding a fan & battery would make this push trailer much to heavy with the 6.5 HF engine & all. Still going to conceal the motor using mesh & rebar to allow for air circulation.

Can't wait to see the debut of the "Billy Goat".

Steve

 

[Terry Blow]

I was not thinking of a battery at all was thinking about the 6.5 running the blower there should be some shaft left over after you put a clutch on it and a simple sheave belt drive would be all you need
just a thought
Cheers

 

[2dawgs]

Terry.

Defintiely a thought; certainly enough room up front between the downtubes for the fan.

Thanks for the idea.

 

[Dan]

2dawgs, tell the nice folks what yer thinking on fuel?

(uber cool)

[Dan]

I said it in that thread but Wow! She is gorgeous Terry!

Submit em all! Is a great spread.

Wait, do we have any rules on that or pretty much any thing? snork

How is Momma doing Terry? Every one ready for the blessed event? Hugs from us


Just a side note and unrelated. I went nutz at Harbor freight today and am almost completely tooled up. Working on a friction drive with an American engine! (and made with Chinese tools. It's about progress, not perfection. OK it is but hey)

Hey Dan
Glenda's last day was Friday and she is going for C section on the 30th but everything is good except the no work thing but everything else is good. Sounds like you had some fun at HF I love days like those. Manly Hugs to you and the rest of your crew

Cheers
Terry

 

[2dawgs]

Dan,

I had been thninking of alternative fuels to power the 6.5hp. Researched the threads on this subject and discovered you had explored this area extensively.

I am still checking out economic & simple ways to convert to propane. There are kits available for about triple the cost of the HF engine. Haven't give up yet on finding a modification that will work & not be too costly.

 

[Terry Blow]

Thank you Steve

I haven't looked at those threads in a long time and don't remember, but will read em again. Such a cool thought. Will ask a buddy. He is 3rd generation small engine shop owner and would know. I can't imagine a kit should cost so much but it's always that way, eh?
