[LowLifeChoppers]

Here are some pics of my ride... I got it all ready to go, everything tuned, aligned ect, and went to push start it and.... Engine Froze ... So i am going to see if it is a rebuildable project as far as the engine goes.... These pics were right before i was done with the final tuning..

That is a nice looking bike... Sorry about the engine. What kind of sprocket do you have on that thing? (how do you have it attached)

That sucks about the motor.... was it new or secondhand?

 

[LowLifeChoppers]

The motor is, or was brand new.... I had like 30 miles on it.... iy was a flying horse motor... I am going to tear the motor apart and see what I can do with it... it siezed while trying to start it

Sorry but I have to ask, did you put enough oil in the fuel?

Are you sure its the engine and not something else, for example your chain isnt jammed up or something.

 

[LowLifeChoppers]

yep 24:1 for the break in period.... I never got around to any other mix

Dude it took me 3 effin days to get that rear sprocket aligned and trued.... the rims have 144 spokes, next time, I am gonna do it whole different way with the rims.... I had to re-drill out the sprocket, so that I could space out the bolts, so that they could actually fit between the spokes :\

those wheels look good but wow i can see what you mean by hard to alighn with all those spokes

Manic Mechanic makes a sprocket for the 144 spoke wheel it is sold for the 68 spoke wheel you just have to drill 4 small hole in the hub and remove 4 spokes
I cut the end of the spoke and put it under the washer

A few more spokes and you'd have a solid wheel !
