Wow you did it again, another beautiful build! Are those LeLue hubs again? how far do you need to spread chainstays to use those.

How or what parts are you using on the pedal crank to marry it with the original size bearing cups?

Sorry about all the questions, but i really like the way you do things. Please consider my
copying you as flattery.

Those are sweet man, how fast do they go?

We run the same motors on our board track bikes, one on a cvt and the other a jackshaft. They will do about 45 if geared right.

I know Glenn is having fun with his bike

Just be warned that this motor does not like Hi-RPM's, I say 4500 max or the valves start to float.
