Finially got around to creating a video of the entire build of the Dixie Flyer. Thanks to Board Track Racer video of his build, I was inspired to put together most of the pictures from the build into this video you can find on YouTube.

Sorry for the sound track, YouTube disable my original score so I had to swap it with a track thay had on file.

Mike I just found this thread, I am taken back and how Beautiful that bike turned out. What a vision for the year 1911 it is perfect. I am a mechanic in a park shop, and a former motorcycle mechanic, so I have alway loved two wheeled machines. I had the fortune to ride a Pierce Arrow many years ago and never got over it. I have a vision for a bike to ride and enjoy the time travel, you have the machine to do it on. I have some old Walbro carbs that would look nice on that engine, we have trouble with those new fangled things, with no adjustments, keep an eye out for one I think you will like the look and the way it will run. They were found on the small 70's Kohler engines. Have fun, Dave

Fabricated a kick starter sprocket component. This component will secure to a pedal shaft.

We are using a piece of the roller chain that is secured to the partial sprocket.

Fabricated a new pedal shaft bracket with bushings for a 3/4" shaft.
View attachment 15522

Welded the bracket in place right behind the original bottom bracket.

Added a crank arm and pedal to one end of the shaft and slipped the shaft through the bushings.

Secured the kick starter sprocket to the pedal shaft and attached the right pedal & crank arm.
View attachment 15527

The kick starter sprocket engages the freewheel so you can rotate the pedal up to make ready to turn the engine over by "kicking" down on the pedal. The kick starter sprocket will disengage with the the freewheel after "kicking" down on the pedal.
View attachment 15528

Both the left and right crank arms are secured to the pedal shaft so you could use either pedal to kick start the engine.
View attachment 15529

We found that leaving the pedals free to rotate was actually very comfortable to position your legs and feet while riding the bike. We had planned to add a feature to lock the pedals in place, we don't feel we will need this.

Hello Mike,

I read through this build and video on Youtube.. What a awesome job..

I am stuck here studying your kick starter.. with questions on my mind.. How did you attach freewheel onto 3/4" shaft? Or what parts did you use to make it all work?

I understand partial sprocket and other.. it just attaching that freewheel is what got me..

Thank...

Thanks for the Healey link. My first car in the 1960's was a used Austin Healey 3000 roadster. I loved that car and still fifty years later find myself dreaming it, riding along with the wind in my hair and a big smile... then awaken to being an old fellow and knowing my Healey is long gone. Mine had the same wood and aluminum steering wheel, red with a silver racing stripe up the hood, black and red upholstery and a white tonneau cover. It had such beautiful lines...

A quick glance at vrgt2003’s profile shows he hasn’t been here in a little over 4 years...

It is a nice bike though!

Hi Sanny,

Found his build link for the bike. He shows how he did it and the clutch is shown so you can pause it and count the teeth. He answers questions in the comments.
Hope this helps.

Steve.
