MOTORIZED?

[leaded]

Begins to see the end..... engine is in,jackshaft,pulleys,sprockets, chains etc. is on, exhaust, and the 53cc 3,6hp chainsaw engine mounted & started. Awating delivery of the gashandle,tires, and to connect the lights to battery!



from the build starting in beginning of november 2011..

Love it "leaded"!!! Actually watchin your thread on the other forum. I am now scratchin my head as to what I can do to compete. Not using a china girl motor sure would help me out BuT I had it on the bench and really am kinda partial to this particular motor. At any rate.. Your bike looks great and I hope she runs hard!

Thanks, slowriderz! I thought about the China´s too, but our national laws made trouble about registration. So planned to use an vintage engine to end the discussion, and legalize it. The Chainsaw engine i changed so much i could...and perhaps they will let it go, if not i already bought a vintage 98cc REX from Germany, and found a Villers in UK, and a friend said he will check for a vintage Husquarna
( Husky) 180cc (?) he knows about.
And belives it would run okay...time will show, a week more, and the last parts needed should be here! Only trouble its minusdegrees, a little icy and some snow here now........but hopes for a day i could get a chance to testride it soon!

Keep up!

I have a pretty big motor on the bench but this frame set up i am working on now is surely not strong enough to handle 212cc. My plans are to build a trike frame for that one. Ill save that for a later challenge

[leaded]

nice engine size......... cant you just reinforce the frame..........trike you could build later... he,he

.......at least one week more, so i can get the tires on!!!

[slowriderz]

UH OHHH! one week? i was thinking spring. Oh well ill keep chugging along at it in my lazy fashion and see where I end up. I have recently made a few minor changes to my build. Nothing major, just the frame, forks and gas tank. lol....

Hope you guys are having great luck with your builds!

I haven't messed with my bike since Christmas I'm ashamed to say. I'm at the point where I'm not sure if I should just shelve it for a later date, or continue ahead at a snails pace.

[leaded]

Mostly ready for testdrive, and some photoshoot tomorrow, if the snow & ice dont wanna anything else!
Did get the tires on now, brakes are done, just waiting for a tacho transformation to a clock.....and a ignition switch!

That is a sweet looking ride you have there Leaded!
