tonchio tronfio board track racer

[ducaroso]

yes it is and if you look at the technical data it has enough power too

It certainly is a nice engine, but the price is a wee bit horrible.

 

[ducaroso]

the price is forbidden but I can ensure you I have spent a lot more trying to make my own engine I have 4,5 half finished engines that neither works or may work and this one is perfect you buy it once and has spare parts forever im in serius thoughts about it

There's a fakev twin out there, the dummy cylinder is the air filter, I forget which engine is the base, but it's all modern Chinese parts.

 

[ducaroso]

a little progress has been made here is the tank and the engine mounts I decided to make the tank from fiber glass as it is cheaper and lighter and make an iron one in the future built

 

[silverbear]

Your engine mounts look good. How did you make the glass tank... what did you do for a form to give it that shape?

more or less do the same procedure you can even use carbon fiber with polyester not the special compound they use it comes way cheaper

yesterdays radical decision

There's an old expression that says, "changing horses mid stream". Looks like you've got yourself a new pony.

[ducaroso]

it had to be done otherwise it would never be finished the problem is that I need some parts from the other frame and I don't want to destroy it

 

[ducaroso]

ok so I welded the frame and did a little rolling test in the balcony the handle bars are too front and I think I will need shorter pedals in any case as a bicycle it works fine now im waiting for some parts to arrive and in the meantime I will refine the gas tank

 

[ducaroso]

continius tests as a bicycle it handles very well although the handle bar is still an issue

 

[silverbear]

Coming right along!

[ducaroso]

hopefully within the week I will put it on the road the parts I expect haven't arrived yet so I improvised I will try to finish the clutch by tomorrow it will be thor style or what comes easier will see

I like this build, it has a rat rod, cartoonish feel to it (no pun or disrespect intended.)

 

[ducaroso]

jazz you are totally right that's exactly what it is my other built is a constant consumer of money and time so I had a lot of parts laying around so I decided to built this one with the left overs of course this aint its final form but I have started building the board track months ago and still haven't riden anything so I cant wait to put something on the road that's why I built this.i don't know about all the other guys in this forum but you start building a motorized bicycle replica and in in the end you need to built a motorcycle to be pleased and safe for the road
