Hog Boys Boardtracker (Ex-Villiers)

[stocksucks]

Thanks mate.

I started modifying the Villiers BTR, which will be a Villiers no more. Maybe I’ll call it “Hog Boys”.
The mods include:
- New fork
- New 252cc 4 stroke engine (flame throwing demon)
- jackshaft transmission with custom lub system
- Cleaner and painted frame
- Hand operated brake
- Complete faux tank with little gas reservoir inside

The 252cc Lombardini 4 stroke engine I referred to earlier is already working. There was a carburettor problem that I already solved. I managed to get a 350cc Lombardini 4 stoke engine in the process, with a broken rod. Luckly this new engine is exactly the same size as the 252 I’ll be using now, only the piston’s diameter and carb are larger. So, If I choose to, I can replace the 252 with the 350, without messing with the arrangement I’m dealing with now.



The fork

I always wanted a fork that looked more like the ones used on real board track racers. So I made one:
I started by using the crown of a minibike someone gave me I don’t know when…




Then I bended some tubes always having Burt Munro lookin’ after the job






The result looked pretty good



Time for a mockup



Then I made these dropouts out off stuff I had





Chopped off the old steering column, leaving a “bed” for the new one, and gave it a reinforcement.




Then I tried it on.




And welded it properly in place.



Tonight I’ll start with frame “cleaning”. I’m gonna replace part of the back tube for a better look and resistance.
Keep it up.

Seat post replaced.
It looks better but lacks a V-Twin





Keep it up.

Hey there.
Yesterday I made suports for the handlebar.





What do you guys think?
Tonight I'm gonna work on the engine mounts.
Keep it up.

Nice fabrication work. The front end/bars are very reminiscent of vintage boardtrackers.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Dr. T

Keep it up.

That fork looks great! Good to see you working on this project again..

[stocksucks]

Thanks a lot K-dregg.

Hey there.
The frame is almost finished. The welds were grinded and now I have to fill some points.
There is a new support for the hand operated brake cable.





Keep it up.

Very Cool!!!!Im Diggin that front end,great work!

[stocksucks]

Thanks FatBoy.
Yesterday I had again to mess with the frame.
I will use a little gas tank that will be fitted inside a false tank that will fill the frame. This false tank will help with the bike’s final volume, giving it a bulkier look and bringing it closer to real boardtrack racers.


This little tank is 115mm tall, so I had to rise the bottom tank tube on the frame some 20mm, so I can rivet it to the inside of the larger faux tank and still have that mildly cool gas tap at sight bellow.


Keep it up.

[stocksucks]

Hey there guys.
The tank is finished.
Here is the whole building sequence (sorry for the absence of comments on the pics, but they'r too many):




















































Keep it up.

[stocksucks]

Thanks a lot Nick_ish
Here's a mockup.


Uploaded with ImageShack.us
It misses the transmission, clutch, brake, throttle, wiring, fuel line and so forth.-
Keep it up

Looks sweet!! Great work so far!

[stocksucks]

Thanks guys.
The bike as it stands right now.
Notice the three last pics:
Magneto kill switch on the handlebar (still to be completed), curved exhaust and hand operated brake.











Need help with a transmission issue. Anyone can give me a hand?

I already pmed Dowie Soetenga but I guess he's busy with his little baby.

Keep it up!
