Impressive video Wayne!
Gosh that thing is QUICK!!!!
I really do fell you are safer on an agile bike. You can respond to bad situations faster and avoid them.
The two speed really does well taking advantage of the predators power.
Thanks for the great vid

Thanks for the tip on the low speed chatter in the standard clutch. Now I have a better picture of what is going on and how to fix it.

Wayne,
Pretty impressive acceleration in your video. I remain excited about this tranny and look forward to having it on my Panther. I think it will suit my needs and wants perfectly.

OK, little update. This thing seems bulletproof so far. 150 hard miles and counting. No problems or undue belt wear at all.
Looks like if I cruise around 27-30, my favorite speed, i'm getting about 60 miles per tankful, however much that is.
Seems like a viable,durable drive train, so I decided to finish up some details.
Like suspension forks and front brakes! What a difference over the rigid forks and the Huffy noslow brakes LoL now it really feels like a motorbike.
Since I'm from Louisiana, and I spend a lot of time with my bikes in the French Qtr, I always try to put a Fleur de leis ornament somewhere on whatever I build.
So I trimmed up that square plate bellcrank in the shift linkage to get what I wanted.
OK, havin trouble posting the pix, hafta put them in the next post.

I am interested in how you cold bent the cranks. I need to do this to my bike.

OK' Ive got over 200 miles on it now This thing rocks.. Added some embellishments like lights and a billet mirror and other stuff likr some salvaged foosball handles under the seat for sliders LOL. Yeah that's some free swinging foosball men on there too.
Y'all study the photo closely and tell me what's the weirdest detail.

LOL that's my version of a gas cap lanyard. Sure makes for a lot of questions from ppl.
The plug and wire in the gas cap is tops Wayne! Tell us, what the explanation you offer to Joe Public about it?
Weirdest is subjective and has a negative connotation here in the north, but there is a lot going on here....let's see, the bell in front of the downtube is interesting, I see another fleur de lis on the front caliper. Did you relocate the front fender to the rear ? I like the additional spring between the front caliper mount and bottom of the steerer tube, that's a brilliant idea ! None of it's weird brother, just fancy...I like it.

That bike. I like that bike. Where can I get one like it? Did it come that way, I mean is it stock or did you change something?

Gettin' pretty fancy, Wayne! lol
OK, I think the fleur-de-lis facing forward on the front brake pivot is kinda wierd... since you asked...
They really should be upright, shouldn't they?
Anyhow, can I put in my two cents and make an overall suggestion?
Your skills are excellent... perhaps you would give a shot at a combination of building a longer motorized bicycle and lowering the motor?
...stretch the forward part of the frame, for more room, scoot the seat forward for a better ride and weight transfer, and lower the motor for better CG. ...retain the same rear belt length, but perhaps un-lean the seatpost ??
...just a few thoughts...

Here is a thought for you Wayne on your next build-
I am thinking of a similar drive train execpt using the driven pulley on a CVT.

Some better pics. Been bobin it our with stuff. The Foosball handle sliders saved my new seat today. The POS kickstand went past the stop and it fell hard on the tarmac, with no damage at all!
