Here is a couple pics of my newest build. My plans are to fabricate a custom fuel tank, add duel disk brakes, detail out the engine, fabricate custom exhaust (the stock exhaust hits the ground lol), and a few other surprises.

thats gonna be neat
Thanks! I just picked up another engine, at the flea market, yesterday. Soooooooo, one more project coming up haha.
Well I found something out today. Putting the sprocket on a 144 spoke wheel is like trying to thread a needle with a piece of rope. Has anyone done this before? I think a change in wheels is on the build list.
You could houg out the sproket to fit the rear hub and weld it on the hub itself. And or the adapter This has been done before,you will have to take the hub internals out. I did this 50 years ago as well as others............Curt
Thanks, for the advice. After pondering what to do, I think I will go with a sprocket adapter and some wheels with less spokes in them. I have a non-motorized project underway, and the 144's will look good on that. Back to the drawing board (and wallet :roll: )
