    Hey Mark, We'll be up there after our end of quarter show at the school. Can't wait to see it in person.

    Can you believe it's actually cheaper this way? Hah, and I get the motorcycle comment from Nick all the time. Maybe some day...

    So. Updates. I switched gears a bit in my project and decided to go all the way with this one. I am developing my own drive train in order to avoid gearbox problems which currently plague this generation of 4 stroke kits. What they are doing is pretty much making these bolt on gearboxes for 4...

    http://smallenginewarehouse.com/product ... er+no+tank You get this engine and it bolts to this mounting kit. http://www.bicycle-engines.com/49cc-mou ... p-158.html That's the best 4-stroke setup you can get.

    Yeah, I'm building an actual tank to hold fuel for my Schwinn project. I would love to get my hands on that tank or something similar and widen it.

    Well, a few nights ago we went to Greg's place to pick up the fork frame. Well, we ended up walking out with 2 frames, 2 forks, various bearings, a seat, some ugly saddle bags (I think I can do something to make them look better), a crank, and some other stuff. Thanks man, you were great to use...

    That bike absolutely needs an engine. Send it to me and I'll hook you up. :mrgreen:

    Let me get better at CNC programming, then I'll start a thread about it.

    Hah, well. I ain't got much. These are my first projects. Both are motorized. One is based off an old Ross Eurotour (mine) and the other is an AMF Roadmaster (my friend Taylor's). This was our first taste of bike repair and engine mounting. Now our projects just get more and more ambitious.

    Beautiful engine! Well, I managed to get ahold of a powdercoater, and he said he'd do it for something like 30 bucks, which isn't bad at all! But he said that the frame needs to be stripped and ready to shoot. He suggested, and recommended, sandblasting. Now, I remember people saying...

    Gorgeous engine. Is that a russian made roundhead or something entirely different? It's definitely a 2 stroke. I am currently scheming with a friend to custom fabricate a tank to fit into the frame itself. I'll have some computer drawings up shortly.

    So, I'm taking my color scheme from your bike posted above. Chrome and black springer forks, gloss black frame, chrome fenders, whitewall tires, black engine mount, chrome and black engine. It'll look classic and timeless. Atleast I hope.

    Are you in Cincinnati? I have a friend interested in the frame and I'll take the fork. PM me and we can talk about it. Thanks!

    Anybody know anything about Arai drum brakes? Do they just thread onto a freewheel hub? http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/p/ ... DRM/BR5001

    I called him to recheck the measurements...you're right. He can't use a ruler. It's a 1 inch tube.

    I had my friend measure the old fork, and he said the diameter is 1 and 1/8". Unless he can't use a ruler (which is very...very possible), then I think that new one will work. He measured the outside diameter, which I believe is the correct measurement for this particular purpose. He said the...
