Modern BoardTrack Racer Builds by CulverCityClassic

that I dont know....I guess you're asking for registration purposes in mass? Here you wouldn't hafta.
 
ccc
eager and excited to see the drive you have referred to
you are truly one of those who posts who builds and does not assemble

I would have to say vintage engine tom takes the cake for taking raw steel and doing the Wilbur and Orville with it but you got it going --- show us master

as superman can bend steel with his bare hands and make it fly down the road

oh yeah hi racie how's it going???

Updated pictures from work completed today: cut out all the flanges for the intake manifolds. Setup and tacked together. Started working on the exhaust.

I have a question. Won't that carb get in the way of your right leg? It looks like there is enough room to route the intake manifold forward and place the carb in front of the engine. Why don't builders do that?

Atom the answer to your question is the carb will be fine. I really never liked the carb mounted forward, it just kills the look even on those big dollar Harley's.

A couple more pictures: manifolds done, tig welded with bronze rod... Custom painted side cover.

I like the carb backwards as well it just seems to look right. I had them that way on the last three and I got used to keeping the pedals orientated so I wasnt blocking it.
 
ccc like the misting on the side cover

painted the 72 gmc 3/4 ton four on the floor today outside in a dirt yard--
down and dirty
paint was everything a friend had left over
ended up looking like primer even though there was plenty of metallic paints in the mix
in the can it looked like a light gray metallic

tried an even more unusual ie. unique surface technique but did not work out as planned
more experimentation necessary

painting is a blast even if my friend cut my air hose and reconnected me from the big compressor to one of those pieces of sh.. tiny ones -- mid shoot
kept spitting cause it was always running out of air

misted it with some krylon periwinkle looks okay from afar
 
Back to the bikes, a mock up on the exhaust and forks. Front disk will go from 160 to a 203mm to stop this beast.

This is looking great! You just keep cranking these out , can't
wait for a ride report.
I do have a clutch question.

On your other builds you tried a max torch
clutch then changed it, do you have less chattering with the other
clutch?

Thanks Bill

I have rode a bike with this frame and it's the chit...

as far as clutch issues, I will not use the max torque due to the chatter. The disk does not chatter at all.

Nice....a 196cc Greyhound and a 212cc Predator and a couple of Richards awesome frames ;) Don't ever think I don't know what you're up to, that's all I can tell you for now :D
 
It's the chit with out the chatter... But requiring the cheddar to built it right....

In between this build I made myself a sweet pedal bike to run around for parts. 7 gear rear hub with a coaster brake and no motor....

Freddy Prinz voice, "Looking gooo-ooood!". Remember that guy on "Chico and the Man"? That stuff was funny.

I am very interested in seeing "the future of drives" on this build. I am sure its not what you are planning, but I have always dreamt of having a shaft drive motorized bicycle, similar to a bmw.

On another note, are you going to make the Willow Springs race on Sept. 7th? I hope you can, it would be nice to see you and your creations.

Ride safe,

Gilbert
