WOW, Thanks guys!!!
Thank you Rat Rod for the cover story! That was quite a surprise!
Von Fink-I knew I would be called out on that.
Honestly, the video makes it look faster than it really was on the flyby (don't tell anybody :wink: ), believe me, I am a huge advocate of helmets and safety gear and your right, shoulda had a lid on even for that short clip. I haven't ran it up to hard yet because of the new engines and triple checking all the small stuff. When I do start to wind it up, I have a desolate road that I have used before and a full leather race suit, gloves, boots and a full face helmet.
I do have to work on Monday.
Here is last years mini and the safety gear I wear. Craigslist!! Ya gotta love it, 100 bucks for the Leathers, 75 for the helmet. :D
I know, I know, the Dr. Martens aren't NHRA approved. LOL, I forgot my boots that weekend. :oops:

Moleman...After the drags, I'll see what I can do for ya!

Thanks Old School64,
Isaiah3g-
The reason the whole thing works is the two sprocket clutch on the second engine.
That clutch is actually the most expensive part of the bike, 75 bucks!
Image

Run the front engine's chain to the clutch of the second one. Then second engine's chain from clutch to rear sprocket.

Hope this helps and I can't wait to see what you build!!

That is an evil ride!
Very nice.
What is that wraping around the exhausts? Is there any metal before the final end? I mean, are they flexible?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks!
The wrap on the pipes is called header wrap, race cars wrap thier headers and exhaust with it to keep heat down under the hood and to gain horsepower. I used it to keep the heat down with the engines so close to my legs........and to cover my sub par welding! :mrgreen:
