We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes....NOW DONE!
Here she is all finished. Please read on if you want to read the process.
 Started building this awhile ago. I don't really have much of a plan yet, but its starting to come together. Started with a brand new schwinn on sale from target.  Grinder and welder. About to make the first cut. The fork is a girvin from a proflex mtb. The elastomer spring was shat so I just reworked it a bit.  First cuts have been made.    My buddy (I'll call him Mr. French) is also working on his own briggs bike.  Mr. French's bikes is coming along nicely.

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes
I did have an initial plan but I have since deviated a bunch. Here is one of the first drawings I did of the bike. The current build will have a different drive-line since I wont be putting pedals or a crank on. Instead sealed bearings will be installed in the bottom bracket. This is where the jack shaft will then go to drive the rear wheel from the right side.
Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes
glad to see that.
with pedals, it could have been tragic. watching this build. how many h.p. ?
Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes
Update:
Got the motor mounts welded on to my bike and the V brake bosses welded to Mr. French's bike. Not really able to do anything else until the parts come in for the jackshaft.

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes
Finally found some time to work on the bike a little more. I got the engine mounts completely mounted now. Also got the jackshaft and sprockets installed. All I have to do now is decide on how I want to do the tank. Not sure if i want just add some small cylinder for a tank and leave the frame as is or add a cross bar and make a more traditional tank. What do you all think?
 Cross bar...yes or no? 
Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes
Decided to add the crossbar. Ended up getting the rear sprocket done too. Lastly decided on a paint scheme, brown primer frame, white seat/grips, polished aluminum motor/forks.

Re: We'll see where this goes... two briggs bikes
Maybe check out how Goldy did his pedals and jack shaft combo. Pedels and shaft all in one.......Curt
