what did you do to your motorized bicycle today?

[BonusParts]

It rained all day. So built a lot of my Lightening cdis to suppress my I can't go riding depression boo hoo
. And its going to rain all weeeeekkkk.

sorry for not knowing already, but what is your lightning cdi??

And today I'm off to a local welders shop to have my sbp pipe PROPERLY attached. IDK who designed the header that its sold with but its complete ****.

The stock muffler header is literally PERFECT for a tight fitting exhaust.

I'll post pics once I get mine welded since i'll have to uninstall it to do my high temp header wrap

Installed the extender today. A really long allen wrench is needed. Since extender must be mounted to bottom of quill, I found the derailer cables too short to let me mount it. Tried mounting extender before quill, tried both together, no luck. Had to unhook derailer cables, then mount, then reattach all cables - just barely had enough cable to reach OK.

On the plus side, cust is really happy & job was much easier than a handlebar swap, even feels more solid than I thought it would.

cust brought this quill extender in today - way easier that changing out bars

Didnt know they made such an animal.........

Last night I completed my Wu Yang/Solex build. Well insofar as any bike can be said to be completed that is.

I purchased my Wu Yang brand new and all shiny when I was studying to be a social worker a good few years ago now. Being a poor student the Wu Yang was totally reliable transport for me and when I started work after qualifying my Wu Yang continued to provide sterling service until I could afford to buy a car (1954 Morris Minor). On fine days I would still sometimes ride the Wu Yang, - only as traffic increased and riding conditions became more dangerous I had to admit defeat and my lovely Chinese bicycle ended up out of use dangling from the garage rafters.
The red saddle bags date back to my student days and when I discovered that I still had them, back on the bike they had to go

I installed the pedal side chain tensioner.

 

[culvercityclassic]

I installed the peddle side chain tensioner.

I hate to be the one to tell you but that does not look good at all, shorten and tuck it up. It would look alot cleaner for sure.

Negative 4 degrees right now, snow storm already passed. On the plus side we only have 5 and a half months left of this, I hope....

Did you ever get a chance to make that post?

Not yet.
I shipped one bottom end to Danshutz and a motor to Maniac57 which they will both get today which is Saturday.
I am starting out slow bur will get up to speed fast.
Thanks for asking.

Interesting mod, I hope it works out. Have you considered breaking and shortening the pedal chain instead?

Completed a 48 mile run to valley forge national park. The bikes look sweet in a bigass arch at sunrise.

We left at 1120 last nite, got back about 1015 this morning hahaha. So many deviations and slight mechanical issues.

My bike has a brand new (well with 48 miles) fred motor on it and for some reason the clutch is giving me trouble. It doesnt want to adjust and hold adjustment. Or grab at all sometimes. Ive yet to do any more than adjust the cable stop on the clutch arm and fiddle with the fine adjust in the clutch compartment. Anyways fiddling will be done tomorrow as im beat as anything from our errr expedition.
