beeler,
I have to question how you maintain drive chain tension with that sprung rear suspension. As the rear wheel moves up or down it will naturally loosen or tighten the chain. Could you post a photo of the left side of the bike?

Otherwise it looks good. Probably a comfy ride with that front suspension fork.

Good luck and thanks for sharing your build with us.

I have to agree here ,I don't see any tensioner and worry the chain will loosen and bind at speed ,the angle of the tank is good though ,I like it for some reason ,but yes best look at a jack shifter kit ASAP as being thrown off your bike at 30mph is certainly not a great experience and can easily break bones and or cause very serious injury ,overall the build looks good but please please get the safety aspects up to scratch before you take her for a spin ,a little bit of fun is not worth a lifetime of pain or even death

Honestly these bikes have very little actual travel. It might be rideable with some luck and care.
A spring tensioner like the turbobuick unit would cure any chain ills.
Looks good if you can get the chain sorted out!
 
I ordered one of these, from WalMart, earlier this week. My hope it to put in a SBP shift kit. That might be asking a lot, from such a small space. It would add 7 gears and solve any chain slack. I will keep ya posted.
 
Hi beeler54321!

Sweet looking ride. Wait, wait I think I here it whispering something. Sounds like Jack. No the rest was muffled. Wait there it is again, oh jack shaft. It's asking for a jack shaft. Machines talk to me glad to help. :)
